(a) Cl = +7; (b) S = +6; (c) P = +5; (d) Mn = +6

Oxidation number is the charge that an atom appears to have when we count its valence electrons according to the following rules:

1. Lone pair electrons belong entirely to the atom.

2. Identical atoms share electrons equally

3. Electrons shared between two different atoms belong entirely to the more electronegative atom.

4. The sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms must add up to the charge on the species.

The most common oxidation numbers are: H = +1 and O = -2.

(a) <em>HClO₄ </em>

H + Cl + 4O = 0

1 + Cl – 8 =0

Cl = 8 – 1 = +7

(b) <em>H₂SO₄</em>

2H + S + 4O = 0

2 + S – 8 = 0

S = 8 – 2 = +6

(c) <em>PO₄³⁻ </em>

P + 4O = -3

P – 8 = -3

P = +5

(d) MnO₄²⁻

Mn + 4O = -2

Mn – 8 = -2

Mn = +6

How many grams of magnesium metal will react completely with 4.8 liters of 5.0 M HCl? Show all of the work needed to solve this
vovikov84 [41]
V=4.8 L
c=5.0 mol/L
M(Mg)=24.3 g/mol

1) n(HCl)=cv

2) m(Mg)=M(Mg)n(HCl)/2

3) m(Mg)=M(Mg)cv/2
    m(Mg)=24.3*5*4.8/2=291.6 g

Small quantities of oxygen can be prepared in the laboratory by heating potassium chlorate, KClO3 ( is ) . The equation for the
gayaneshka [121]

Answer: 25.89g of O2 (g)

Explanation:

We begin by finding the molar mass of compounds of interest in the given equation. 2 KClO3 ⟶ 2 KCl + 3 O 2

1  mole of KCLO3 = 39 .10 + 35.5 + (3x16) = 122.55g, 2Moles would be 2 x 122.5 = 245.1g

1 mole Oxygen gas = 32g, 3 moles would be, 3 x 32= 96g

According to the equation;

245.1g of KCLO3 produces 96g of O2 (g)

If 1g of KCLO3  produces  96÷245.1  of O2 (g)  from heating.

66.1g of KCLO3 would produce; 96÷245.1  x 66.1 = 25.89g of O2 (g) from heating.

Which of the following does NOT indicate that a chemical change may have taken place?
labwork [276]

The following does NOT indicate that a chemical change may have taken place is fracture formation. A chemical change happens when the substance changes its physical state and composition resulting from a chemical reaction. This chemical reaction may either give off or absorb energy. A change in color is a chemical change. For example, litmus paper turns to red when placed in an acid solution. Production of gas is a chemical change. For example, adding hydrochloric acid to the tiles of the bathroom gives a hissing sound with gases given off. Formation of a precipitate is also a chemical change. Change in shape is not a chemical change.
