Answer:
Explanation:
1. Solubility of CaF_2
(a) Molar solubility
CaF₂ ⇌ Ca²⁺ + 2F⁻
(b) Mass solubility
2. pH
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log(3.0 × 10⁻⁴) = 3.52
3. Oxidizing and reducing agents
Zn + Cl₂ ⟶ ZnCl₂
The oxidation number of Cl has decreased from 0 to -1.
Cl has been reduced, so Cl is the oxidizing agent.
4. Oxidation numbers
(a) Al₂O₃
1O = -2; 3O = -6; 2Al = +6; 1Al = +3
(b) XeF₄
1F = -1; 4F = -4; 1 Xe = +4
(c) K₂Cr₂O₇
1K = +1; 2K = +2; 1O = -2; 7O = -14
+2 - 14 = -12
2Cr = + 12; 1 Cr = +6
