What is the oxidation number of sulfur in BaSO4?

Chemistry
1 answer:
____ [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

+6

Explanation:

We are given;

  • Compound BaSO₄

We are required to determine the oxidation number of S in the compound.

We need to know that;

  • The total oxidation number of this compound is Zero
  • Oxidation number of Ba metal is +2
  • Oxidation number of Oxygen atom is -2
  • There is 1 atom of Ba, 1 atom of S and 4 atoms of O in the compound.

Therefore; assuming oxidation number of S is x

Then, (1× 2) + (1 × x) + ( 4 ×(-2)) = 0

2 + x - 8 = 0

x = 6 or +6

Thus oxidation number of Sulfur in BaSO₄ is +6.

Answer: 50. 4g

Explanation:

First calculate number of moles of aluminium in 38.8g

Moles = 38.8g/ 26.982mol/g

= 1.44mol

By looking at the balance equation you can see that 4 moles of aluminium produce 2 moles of aluminium oxide.

4 = 2

1.4 = x

Find the value of x

x= (1.4×2)/4= 0.72 mol

0.72 moles of aluminium oxide are produced from 38.8g of aluminium

Now find the mass of aluminium produced.

Mass = moles × molar mass

= 0.72mol × 69.93 mol/g

= 50.4g

Write the overall, balanced molecular equation and indicate which element is oxidized and which is reduced for the following rea
REY [17]

Explanation:

Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3 (aq)

Overall, balanced molecular equation

Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3(aq) --> Mg(C2H3O2)3(aq) + Cr(s)

To identify if an element has been reduced or oxidized, the oxidation number is observed in both the reactant and product phase.

An increase in oxidation number denotes that the element has been oxidized.

A decrease in oxidation number denotes that the element has been reduced.

Oxidation number of Mg:

Reactant - 0

Product - +3

Oxidation number of Cr:

Reactant - +3

Product - 0

Note: C2H3O2 is actually acetate ion; CH3COO- The oxidatioon number of C, H and O do not change.

Oxidized : Mg

Reduced : Cr
