5. Identify the oxidation state of Ca in CaF2(aq). Ca(s) + 2 HF(aq) → CaF2(aq) + H2(g)

Chemistry

NikAS [45]3 years ago

Answer:

+2

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Ca + 2HF  →   CaF₂ + H₂

The oxidation state of Ca on left  hand side is 0 while on the right hand side when it form CaF₂ its oxidation state becomes +2 because it loses two. These two electrons are accepted by fluorine and complete its octet while Ca loses its two out most electron to complete the octet.

In this reaction oxidation of calcium takes place and calcium itself is reducing agent.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Consider another examples.

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

Explain how particles move before during and after melting
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Particles would move more freely, while still staying close together depending on the shape of the liquid

Explanation:

Melting is the process of going from a solid to a liquid due to the increase in heat/energy. This increase in heat/energy increases the speed at which the atoms within the object moves. Lets say we had an ice cube. While it is a cube, the particles inside the cube are slow and compact, staying close together.

When enough energy is gained, this makes the particles begin to move faster, gaining heat and energy which results in the ice cube melting and moving more freely than normal.

Fritz Haber, a German chemist, discovered a way to synthesize ammonia gas (NH3) by combining hydrogen and nitrogen gases accordi
Westkost [7]
1) Write the balanced equation to state the molar ratios:

<span>3H2(g) + N2(g) → 2NH3(g)

=> molar ratios = 3 mol H2 : 1 mol N2 : 2 mol NH3

What volume of nitrogen is needed to produce 250.0 L of ammonia gas at STP?

First, convert the 250.0 L of NH3 to number of moles at STP .

Use the fact that 1 mole of gas at STP occupies 22.4 L

=> 250.0 L * 1mol/22.4 L = 11.16 L

Second, use the molar ratio to find the number of moles of N2 that produces 11.16 L of NH3

=> 11.16 L NH3 * [1 mol N2 / 2 mol NH3] = 5.58 mol N2

Third, convert 5.58 mol N2 into liters at STP

=> 5.58 mol N2 * [22.4 L/mol] = 124.99 liters

Answer: 124,99 liters

What volume of hydrogen is needed to produce 2.50 mol NH3 at STP?
 

First, find the number of moles of H2 that produce 2.50 mol by using the molar ratios:

2.50 mol NH3 * [3mol H2 / 2 mol NH3] = 3.75 mol H2

Second, convert the number of moles to liters of gas at STP:

3.75 mol * 22.4 L/mol =  84 liters of H2

Answer: 84 liters

How many moles of Au2S3 is required to form 56 grams of H2S at STP?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

0.55 mol Au₂S₃

Explanation:

Normally, we would need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses, but we can get by with a partial equation, if the S atoms are balanced.

1. Gather all the information in one place:

M_r:                          34.08

          Au₂S₃ + … ⟶ 3H₂S + …  

m/g:                             56  

2. Calculate the moles of H₂S

Moles of H₂S = 56 g H₂S × (34.08 g H₂S/1 mol H₂S)

                      = 1.64 mol H₂S

3. Calculate the moles of Au₂S₃

The molar ratio is 1 mol Au₂S₃/3 mol H₂S.

Moles of Au₂S₃ = 1.64 mol H₂S × (1 mol Au₂S₃/3 mol H₂S)

                         = 0.55 mol Au₂S₃
