Fe(NO3)2 not sure how to get the oxidation numbers of all elements

Chemistry

Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago
4 0
You must remember that oxidation number of hydrogen in acids is always +1, oxidation number of oxygen in oxides & acids is always -2... metals has always oxidation number on plus!

group NO3 comes from HNO3...and oxidation number of whole acid group is always on minus and equal to the amount of hydrogen atoms in this acid... so oxidation number of NO3 = -1

we have 2 NO3 groups so 2*(-1) = -2 and that is the reason why oxidation number of Fe in this formula must be +2... because sum of all elements always gives 0!

Now we could count of oxidation number for nitrogen... we write HNO3 and start counting from right to left:
3*(-2) from oxygens + 1 from hydrogen = -5
so nitrogen must have +5 oxidation number... because sum all in formula must be 0.

Yeah this is option A one supercontinent
basically a long time ago we would have lived on pangea

Eventually this would split into two and we would get Gondwana and also Laurasia, so thechnically option two would be a possible choice but option A is the most possible choice.

What is the percent composition of C4H10? (4 points)
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:82.7% C and 17.3% H

Explanation:

C4 = 12.0107g/mol x 4 = 48.0428 g/mol

H10 = 1.00794 g/mol x 10 = 10.0794 g/mol

Molar Mass of Butane, C4H10 =  48.0428 g/mol + 10.0794 g/mol= 58.1222 g/mol

percent composition of Carbon is  = ( mass of carbon contained in butane / molar mass of Butane) x 100

=(48.0428 /58.1222) x 100% = 0.8265 x 100

=82.65% =82.7% of Carbon.

Percent composition of Hydrogen  = (mass of Hydrogen contained in Butane / molar mass of Butane )x 100  

( 10.0794/58.122 ) x 100% =0.1734 x 100

= 17.3% OF Hydrogen.
