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

Chemistry

Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago

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.

What is the difference between unconfined aquifers and confined aquifers?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Unconfined aquifers are those into which water seeps from the ground surface directly above the aquifer. Confined aquifers are those in which an impermeable dirt/rock layer exists that prevents water from seeping into the aquifer from the ground surface located directly above.

How do I balance this equation? ?KNO3 → ?K2O + ?N2(g)+ ?O2(g) and what type of reaction is it?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

4KNO3 ==> 2K2O + 2N2 + 5O2

Explanation:

It's a decomposition, but not a simple one.

KNO3 ==> K2O + N2 + O2   I don't usually do this, but I think the easiest way to proceed is to  balancing the K and N together. That will require a 2 in front of KNO3

4KNO3 ==> 2K2O + 2N2 + 5O2

Now you have (3*4) = 12 oxygens. Two are on the K2O. So the other 10 must be on the O2

That should do it.
