Fixed vs Variable Oxidation is given below.

Explanation:

1.In its compounds, hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1, except. hydrides where the. oxidation number of hydrogen is -1. In their compounds, the metals with fixed oxidation states have the oxidation number that. corresponds with the fixed oxidation number.

A variable oxidation state is a value that determines the charge of the atom depending on certain conditions.

2. Oxidation state of elements is considered to be of the most important in the study of chemistry. For some elements, this figure is constant known as fixed oxidation , while for others it is variable is called variable oxidation state.

3. MgCl2 : magnesium is in Group IIA and all elements in Group IIA have fixed oxidation numbers of +2

FeCl2 : iron has a variable oxidation number of either +2 or +3 and is not fixed

An ideal gaseous reaction (which is a hypothetical gaseous reaction that conforms to the laws governing gas behavior) occurs at

Juli2301 [7.4K]

The total change in internal energy would simply be calculated using the formula:

ΔU = -P (V2 – V1) + ΔH

where ΔU is the change in internal energy; P is constant pressure = 30 atm = 3,039,750 Pa; V2 is final volume = 2 L = 0.002 m^3; V1 is initial volume = 7.20 L = 0.0072 m^3; while ΔH is the heat = -74,400 J (heat released so negative)

Therefore:

ΔU =-3,039,750 Pa * (0.002 m^3 - 0.0072 m^3) + (- 74,400 J)

What happens when sodium and cholorine are mixed

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The short of it is you would create salt.

Explanation:

If sodium metal and chlorine gas mix under the right conditions, they will form salt. The sodium loses an electron, and the chlorine gains that electron. This reaction is highly favorable because of the electrostatic attraction between the particles. In the process, a great amount of light and heat is released.
