Answer:

Explanation:

Oxidation state of Cr in CrPO₄

As a general rule, the algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The compound above is in its neutral state and we sum all the oxidation numbers and equate to zero:

The oxidation number of P is -2

                                           O is -2

Let the oxidation number of Cr be x:

                              x + (-2) + 4(-2) = 0

                              x -2-8 = 0

                               x -10 = 0

                                x = +10

For Cr in Cr₃(PO₄)₂

         Using the same rule:

        2(x) + 2[-2 + 4(-2)] = 0

           2x + 2(-2-8) = 0

            2x -20 = 0

                x = +10

Answer:

CrPO_4: Cr +3\\Cr_3(PO_4)_2: Cr+2

Explanation:

CrPO_4 and Cr_3(PO_4)_2 are compounds known as ternary salts

This means that they are formed by a metal or a non-metal and an anion

 Its formula is M_x(X_yO_z)_w, that is, the cation is written first and then the anion and the simplified charges are exchanged if possible.

The anion PO_4 has a load of -3: PO_{4}^{-3}

Let's look at the first compound CrPO_4 we observe that when exchanging the charges 3 of thePO_4 does not appear therefore the charges are simplified as the charges are completely simplified, it means that the chromium has the same valence (numerically but with opposite sign) that the anion

Therefore the oxidation state of Cr in CrPO_4 is +3

Let's look at the second compound Cr_3(PO_4)_2, it is observed that when exchanging the valences, the 3 of the PO_4 is with the chromium, and with the anion is  2

As valencia are not multiples, they cannot be simplified.

When exchanging the valences, thePO_4 has the valence corresponding to the chromium which in this case is + 2

Type the correct answer in the box. Express your answer to three significant figures. This balanced equation shows the reaction
Ratling [72]

Answer:

514.5 g.

Explanation:

  • The balanced equation of the reaction is: 2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.
  • It is clear that every 2.0 moles of NaOH react with 1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ to produce 1.0 mole of Na₂SO₄ and 2.0 moles of 2H₂O.
  • Since NaOH is in excess, so H₂SO₄  is the limiting reactant.
  • We need to calculate the no. of moles of 355.0 g of H₂SO₄:

n of H₂SO₄ = mass/molar mass = (355.0 g)/(98.0 g/mol) = 3.622 mol.

Using cross multiplication:

∵ 1.0 mol H₂SO₄ produces → 1.0 mol of Na₂SO₄.

∴ 3.622 mol H₂SO₄ produces → 3.662 mol of Na₂SO₄.

  • Now, we can get the theoretical mass of Na₂SO₄:

∴ mass of Na₂SO₄ =  no. of moles x molar mass = (3.662 mol)(142.04 g/mol) = 514.5 g.
