What is the oxidation state of each element in k2cr2o7?

Chemistry

Stells [14]3 years ago

To begin this, you'll first note down the valencies of atoms you're sure about.

K is always 1+
And O is always 2-, except for in peroxide where it is 1-.

So now you must remember that a compound is always neutral. Your net charge has to be 0.

K2Cr2O7.

K2 (1+ x 2) = 2+
Cr (2x) = 2x
O7 (2- ×7) = 14-

+2 +2x + (-14) = 0
•Simple algebra.
2x -12 = 0
2x = 12
x = +6.

Each Cr atom has an oxidation number of +6.

How do you think engineers use the specific heat of various substances when they are designing new products?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

engineers use knowledge of heat of reaction to predict how much energy will be produced in a chemical system, which is important for keeping the reactor safe and efficient. Beyond chemical reactions, heat is exchanged for physical reactions, too.

g Consider the reaction when aqueous solutions of potassium hydroxide and ammonium bromide are combined. The net ionic equation
vichka [17]

Answer:

K^+(aq) + Br^-(aq) -----> KBr(aq)

Explanation:

The net ionic equation shows the actual reaction that occurs in the system. The molecular reaction equation includes the spectator ions but the net ionic equation does not include the spectator ions.

Spectator ions do not participate in the main reaction going on in the system.

Hence, for the reaction of potassium hydroxide and ammonium bromide, we have;

K^+(aq) + Br^-(aq) -----> KBr(aq)

Calculate the decrease in temperature (in Celsius) when 2.00L at 21.0*C is compressed to 1.00.
Anna71 [15]

Decrease in temperature is -126.0°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Using Charles law we can set up the equation as,

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

(2.00 L) / 294.0 K) = (1.00 L) / (x)

cross multiply to get:

2x = 294

2x/2 = 294/2

x = 147.0 K

Now kelvin is converted into Celsius by subtracting 273 from 147 as,

147 - 273 = -126°C

A long thin sample of a substance is easily bent. When the substance is placed in a n electric circuit and the switch is closed,
goblinko [34]

Answer:

A metallic bonding holds the particles of the substance together

Explanation:

<em><u>The unknown substance is a metal</u></em>:

  • It is easily bent: This means it is ductile, as it is the case with a thin metallic metallic wire.
  • "When the substance is placed in a n electric circuit and the switch is closed, and LED light turns on." <em>This means it easily conducts electricity</em>. Metals are good conductors.
