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.

A chemist determined by measurements that 0.050 moles of aluminum participated in a chemical reaction. Calculate the mass of alu
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

13.5 g

Explanation:

This question is solved easily if we remember that the number of moles is obtained by dividing the mass into the atomic weight or molar mass depending if we are referring to elements or molecules.

Therefore, the mass of aluminum in the reaction will the 0.050 mol Al times the atomic weight of aluminum.

number of moles = n = mass of Al / Atomic Weight Al

⇒ mass Al = n x Atomic Weight Al = 0.050 mol x 27 g mol⁻¹

                                                         = 13.5 g

We have three significant figures in 0.050 and therefore we should have three significant figures in our answer.

When a 3.00 g 3.00 g sample of KBr KBr is dissolved in water in a calorimeter that has a total heat capacity of 1.36 kJ ⋅ K − 1
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Molar heat of solution of KBr is 20.0kJ/mol

Explanation:

Molar heat of solution is defined as the energy released (negative) or absorbed (Positive) per mole of solute being dissolved in solvent.

The dissolution of KBr is:

KBr → K⁺ + Br⁻

In the calorimeter, the temperature decreases 0.370K, that means the solution absorbes energy in this process. The energy is:

q = 1.36kJK⁻¹ × 0.370K

q = 0.5032kJ

Moles of KBr in 3.00g are:

3.00g × (1mol / 119g) = 0.0252moles

Thus, molar heat of solution of KBr is:

0.5032kJ / 0.0252moles = <em>20.0kJ/mol</em>
