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

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

In substitution reactions, (CH3)3C-I reacts at the same rate with Br- and Cl- even though Br- is a more reactive nucleophile tha
Kamila [148]

Answer:

A. (CH3)3C-I reacts by SN1 mechanism whose rate is independent of nucleophile reactivity.

Explanation:

We must recall that (CH3)3C-I is a tertiary alkyl halide. Tertiary alkyl halides preferentially undergo substitution reaction via SN1 mechanism.

In SN1 mechanism, the rate of reaction depends solely on the concentration of the alkyl halide (unimolecular mechanism) and is independent of the concentration of the nucleophile. As a result of this, both Br^- and Cl^- react at the same rate.

What is the formula for manganese (ii) fluoride decahydrate? (you may use a * to represent the dot in the formula.)?
Rasek [7]
These types of molecules are called hydrates. They have a certain number of moles attached to the salt. Their characteristic is being hygroscopic. That means that when they are exposed to air, they readily solvate. 

The formula for Manganese Fluoride Decahydrate will involve the formula Mn, F and H₂O. In ionic form, Manganese is Mn⁺² while fluoride is in F⁻. When they are brought together, their superscripts are 'cross-multiplied' and becomes their respective subscripts. The compound becomes MnF₂. Then, we add the decahydrate which means 10 moles of H₂O. Hence, the formula for Manganese Fluoride Decahydrate is MnF₂*10H₂O.
