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

1 answer:

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.

When KNO3 dissolved in water, what is the intermolecular attraction between NO3 ions

Snezhnost [94]

Ion-dipole forces

H2O has hydrogen bonding, which is a form of dipole-dipole forces, and NO3- is an ion, so the intermolecular attraction is ion-dipole.

A student is studying a sample of carbon dioxide gas inside a small syringe. At constant temperature the syringe has a volume of

Soloha48 [4]

The new pressure inside the syringe will be 1.25 atm

At constant temperatures, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

Thus: P1V1 = P2V2

In this case, P1 = 3.0 atm, V1 = 89.6 mL, V2 = 215 mL

P2 = P1V1/V2

= 3 x 89.6/215

= 1.25 atm

5 Questions to answer please

ryzh [129]

1.Type of bonding in which electrons are completely transferred is called ionic bond.
2. Isotopes have same atomic number but different atomic mass number.
Atomic number = number of protons + number of neutrons
Therefore, A is correct.
3. Nucleus is composed of neutrons and protons.
4. Chemical reactions follows the law of conservation of mass. Therefore mass of reactant = mass of product = 4 grams.
5. Again, mass of table salt formed should be equal to mass of (Na+Cl₂) = 4 grams.
