Tin exists in two oxidation states, +4 and +2. Elemental tin is readily oxidized to the dipositive ion in acidic solution, but this Sn2+ ion is converted to the Sn4+ ion by many mild oxidizing agents, including elemental oxygen. Oxidation under alkaline conditions normally gives the tetrapositive (Sn4+) state.

TRUE or FALSE: The charge of an atom (ion) is determined by the ratio of electrons to protons.

Damm [24]

True The positive electric charge of a proton is equal in magnitude to the negative charge of an electron; therefore, the net electric charge of an ion is equal to its number of protons minus its number of electrons. Ions are highly reactive species.

Arterial blood contains about 0.25 g of oxygen per liter at 37°C and standard atmospheric pressure. Under these conditions, the

Olin [163]

Firstly we need to determine the partial pressure of O2:

$\begin{gathered} P_{O_2}=X\times P_T \\ P_{O_2}:partial\text{ }pressure \\ X:mole\text{ }fraction \\ P_T:total\text{ }pressure \\ \\ P_{O_2}=0.209\times0.35\text{ }atm \\ P_{O_2}=0.073\text{ }atm \end{gathered}$

We will now use the Henry's Law equation to determine the solubility of the gas:

$\begin{gathered} c=K_H\times P_{O_2} \\ c:solubility\text{ }or\text{ }concentration\text{ }of\text{ }the\text{ }gas(M) \\ K_H:Henry^{\prime}sLawconstant=3.7\times10^{-2}M\text{ }atm^{-1} \\ P_{O_2}:partial\text{ }pressure\text{ }of\text{ }the\text{ }gas=0.073atm \\ \\ c=3.7\times10^{-2}M\text{ }atm^{-1}\times0.073 \\ c=2.7\times10^{-3}M \end{gathered}$

Answer: Solubility is 2.7x10^-3 M
