Explanation:
A redox reaction equation shows a gain/loss of electrons from left to right in a reaction. In a redox reaction, a specie looses electrons while another specie gains electrons.
Considering the equation; 2Al(s) + 3Cu(NO3)2(aq) -----> 3Cu(s) + 2Al(NO3)3(aq)
The oxidation state of Al reactant is zero since the oxidation state of all uncombined elements is zero. The oxidation state of All in the product is +3
The oxidation state of the copper in the reactant is +2. The oxidation state of copper in the product is zero.
The oxidation state of N in the reactant and product is +5.
The oxidation state of oxygen in the reactant and product is (-2).
This is a redox reaction because from left to right, Al was oxidized (oxidation number increased from zero to +3) while Cu was reduced (oxidation number decreased from +2 to zero).
Answer: 13.888g
Explanation:
CaCO3 —> CaO + CO2
From the equation above, 1mole of CaCO3 produces 1mole of CaO. Since the answer is to be expressed in grams, let us covert this mole to grams. This is illustrated below:
MM of CaCO3 = 40 +12 + (16x3) = 40 + 12 + 48 = 100g/mol
MM of CaO = 40 + 16 = 56g/mol
From the equation,
100g of CaCO3 produced 56g CaO
Therefore, 24.8g of CaCO3 will produce Xg of CaO i.e
Xg of CaO = (24.8 x 56) / 100 = 13.888g
Therefore, the theoretical yield of CaO is 13.888g
Answer:
See the image below
Explanation:
To draw a Lewis structure of a molecule, you place the least electronegative atom (Xe) as the central atom, with the more electronegative atoms (O) surrounding it.
Then you distribute the electrons around the atoms, giving every one an octet and placing any extra electrons on the central atom.
This procedure gives you four possible Lewis structures, so the actual structure is a resonance hybrid of them all.
Structure D has no formal charges, so it is the major contributor.
Answer:
2K + HgCl2 —> Hg + 2KCl
Explanation:
K + HgCl2 —> Hg + KCl
The above equation is not balanced
To balance the equation, do the following.
First, put 2 in front of KCl, the equation becomes,
K + HgCl2 —> Hg + 2KCl
Now we see that Cl is balanced but K is not. To balance K, put 2 in front of K as shown below:
2K + HgCl2 —> Hg + 2KCl
Now we can that the equation is balanced
