Answer:

a. +2

b. +3

c. -1

Explanation:

The typical oxidation states can be determined from the periodic table based on the number of valence electrons an atom has.

a. Calcium belongs to group 2A, meaning it has 2 valence electrons and, therefore, would have an oxidation state of +2 in compounds.

b. Aluminum is in group 3A, meaning it has 3 valence electrons and would have an oxidation state of +3 in compounds when the 3 electrons are lost.

c. Fluorine would become fluorine if it gained 1 additional electron to achieve an octet, so its oxidation state would be -1.

The rate constant for a certain reaction is measured at two different temperatures:

Talja [164]

Answer: The activation energy Ea for this reaction is 22689.8 J/mol

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation with change in temperature, the formula is as follows.

$ln \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}} = \frac{-E_{a}}{R}[\frac{1}{T_{2}} - \frac{1}{T_{1}}]$

$k_1$ = rate constant at temperature $T_1$ = $2.3\times 10^8$

$k_2$ = rate constant at temperature $T_2$ = $4.8\times 10^8$

$E_a$ = activation energy = ?

R= gas constant = 8.314 J/kmol

$T_1$ = temperature = $280.0^0C=(273+280)=553K$

$T_2$ = temperature = $376.0^0C=(273+376)=649K$

Putting in the values ::

$ln \frac{4.8\times 10^8}{2.3\times 10^8} = \frac{-E_{a}}{8.314}[\frac{1}{649} - \frac{1}{553}]$

$E_a=22689.8J/mol$

The activation energy Ea for this reaction is 22689.8 J/mol
