Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Fluorine do not follow this trend. The noble gas electron configuration will be close to zero because they will not easily gain electrons.
Oxidation number of an atom is the charge that atom would have if the compound is composed of ions. In neutral substances that contains atoms of one element the oxidation number of an atom is zero. Thus atoms in O2, Ni2, and aluminium all have oxidation number of zero.
In this case, Ni2, the oxidation number of Ni atom is zero,
for NiO4-, assuming oxidation number of Ni is x
(x ×1) + (-2 × 4) = -1
x = + 7
Therefore, the oxidation number goes from 0 to +7
Answer:
The correct answer is 146 g/mol
Explanation:
<em>Freezing point depression</em> is a colligative property related to the number of particles of solute dissolved in a solvent. It is given by:
ΔTf = Kf x m
Where ΔTf is the freezing point depression (in ºC), Kf is a constant for the solvent and m is the molality of solution. From the problem, we know the following data:
ΔTf = 1.02ºC
Kf = 5.12ºC/m
From this, we can calculate the molality:
m = ΔTf/Kf = 1.02ºC/(5.12ºC/m)= 0.199 m
The molality of a solution is defined as the moles of solute per kg of solvent. Thus, we can multiply the molality by the mass of solvent in kg (250 g= 0.25 kg) to obtain the moles of solute:
0.199 mol/kg benzene x 0.25 kg = 0.0498 moles solute
There are 0.0498 moles of solute dissolved in the solution. To calculate the molar mass of the solute, we divide the mass (7.27 g) into the moles:
molar mass = mass/mol = 7.27 g/(0.0498 mol) = 145.9 g/mol ≅ 146 g/mol
<em>Therefore, the molar mass of the compound is 146 g/mol </em>
