In which of the following choices is the oxidation number incorrect?

Chemistry

4 0

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.

An electrochemical cell is constructed such that on one side a pure lead electrode is in contact with a solution containing Pb2+
Ugo [173]

Answer:

-490.7 K

Explanation:

Given:

[Ni^2+]= 0.4 M

[Pb^2+]=0.002 M

∆V= -0.012 V

VNi= -0.250V

VPb= -0.126V

F= 96500 C

R= 8.314 JK-1 mol-1

n= 2

From

T= -nF/R [∆V-(VNi-VPb)/ln [Pb2+]/[Ni2+]]

T= 2(96500)/8.314[ (-0.012) -(-0.250) - (-0.126))/ln[0.002]/[0.4]

T= 23213.856(0.112/(-5.298))

T= -490.7 K

Which of the following chemical reactions is the only reaction shown that would be predicted to occur based on the activity seri
Novosadov [1.4K]

B. Mn + NiBr₂  →  Ni + MnBr₂

Explanation:

The reaction that can be predicted of all is Mn + NiBr₂  →  Ni + MnBr₂.

The activity series is used to predict the products of single displacement reactions.

The series ranks metals in order of their reactivity. Those higher up in the series are highly reactive metals. Those at the bottom are slightly to non-reactive metals.

For a single displacement reaction to occur, a metal higher up in the activity series displaces one that is lower in the series.

  Reaction A will not occur, Ba is higher in the series

  Reaction C will not occur, Pt and Au are unreactive

  Reaction D will not occur as Zn is lower in the series

Mn is higher in the reactivity series and it will displace Ni from the solution.

Cacl2+na3po4 ca3po42 + nacl
Alex787 [66]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

3CaCl₂ + 2Na₃PO₄→ Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6NaCl

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given the Equation;

CaCl₂ + Na₃PO₄→ Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + NaCl

Assuming the question requires us to balance the equation;

  • A balanced chemical equation is one that has equal number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.
  • Balancing chemical equations ensures that they obey the law of conservation of mass in chemical equations.
  • According to the law of conservation of mass in chemical equation, the mass of the reactants should always be equal to the mass of the products.
  • Balancing chemical equations involves putting appropriate coefficients on the reactants and products.

In this case;

  • To balance the equation we are going to put the coefficients 3, 2, 1, and 6.
  • Therefore; the balanced equation will be;

3CaCl₂ + 2Na₃PO₄→ Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6NaCl

PLEASE HELP ME!!! ASAP
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Theoretical yield of the reaction = 34 g

Excess reactant is hydrogen

Limiting reactant is nitrogen

Explanation:

Given there is 100 g of nitrogen and 100 g of hydrogen

Number of moles of nitrogen = 100 ÷ 28 = 3·57

Number of moles of hydrogen = 100 ÷ 2 = 50

Reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen yields ammonia according to the following chemical equation

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

From the above chemical equation for every mole of nitrogen that reacts, 3 moles of hydrogen will be required and 2 moles of ammonia will be formed

Now we have 3·57 moles of nitrogen and therefore we require 3 × 3·57 moles of hydrogen

⇒ We require 10·71 moles of hydrogen

But we have 50 moles of hydrogen

∴ Limiting reactant is nitrogen and excess reactant is hydrogen

From the balanced chemical equation the yield will be 2 × 3·57 moles of ammonia

Molecular weight of ammonia = 17 g

∴ Theoretical yield of the reaction = 2 × 3·57 × 17 = 121·38 g
