Cl2(s); oxidation number 1 is the incorrect choices in oxidation number.

Explanation:

In the elemental form oxidation state is zero. Here chlorine is present in elemental form so oxidation state is zero.

Oxidation number depends on the number of electrons gained or lost by an atom of the element say in compound formation.

If electron is gained oxidation number becomes negative.

If electron is lost then oxidation number is positive.

If the octet rule is fulfilled that valence shell is filled them atomic number gets zero. Since Cl2 is in neutral state the oxidation number is 0.

Oxidation number in general can be made out by checking the valency of the element as oxidation number is also equal to the valency.

Is it true that the formula for magnesium sulfate shows that there are four atoms of sulfur

Ulleksa [173]

The chemical formula for magnesium sulfate is MgSO4, so it shows that there are four atoms of oxygen but not sulfur. There is only one atom of sulfur in the formula

Answer:

F = 30 N

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of toy train = 1.5 kg

Acceleration of train = 20 m/s²

Amount of force acting on it = ?

Solution:

The net force on object is equal to the its mass multiply by its acceleration.

Formula:

F = ma

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Now we will put the values in formula.

F = 1.5 kg × 20ms⁻²

F = 30 kg.ms⁻²

kg.ms⁻² = N

F = 30 N

Suppose a 2.95 g of potassium iodide is dissolved in 350. mL of a 62.0 m M aqueous solution of silver nitrate. Calculate the fin

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer : The final molarity of iodide anion in the solution is 0.0508 M.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of $KI$ and $AgNO_3$ .

$\text{Moles of }KI=\frac{\text{Mass of }KI}{\text{Molar mass of }KI}$

Molar mass of KI = 166 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }KI=\frac{2.95g}{166g/mole}=0.0178mole$

and,

$\text{Moles of }AgNO_3=\text{Concentration of }AgNO_3\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.0620M\times 0.350L=0.0217mole$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The given chemical reaction is:

$KI+AgNO_3\rightarrow KNO_3+AgI$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of KI react with 1 mole of $AgNO_3$

So, 0.0178 mole of KI react with 0.0178 mole of $AgNO_3$

From this we conclude that, $AgNO_3$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and KI is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $AgI$
