Explain the difference between fixed and variable oxidation

Chemistry
1 answer:
dem82 [27]3 years ago
7 0

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

Vanyuwa [196]
Chemical Reactions and Moles of Reactants and Products
That is, it requires 2 moles of magnesium and 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of magnesium oxide. If only 1 mole of magnesium was present, it would require 1 ÷ 2 = ½ mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 ÷ 2 = 1 mole magnesium oxide.

What is the difference between physical and chemical properties? Give 3 examples of each.
IceJOKER [234]

Explanation:

1.A physical property is an aspect of matter that can be seen or measured without changing its chemical composition. Examples of physical properties include color, molecular weight, and volume.

A chemical property is observed only by changing the chemical identity of a substance. In other words, the only way to detect a chemical is to perform a chemical reaction.

2.This property measures the ability of chemical change. Examples of chemical properties are reactivity, flammability, and oxidation state.

The physical properties of a substance do not involve any chemical reaction. These include density, color, mass, hardness, freezing points, electrical properties, and the like.

Chemical properties include the reaction of chemicals with other substances. These reactions lead to the disappearance of the raw material and the appearance of new materials that have different physical and chemical properties.

3.Chemical properties can be compared to physical properties; On the contrary, they are recognizable without changing the structure of matter. However, for many properties in the field of physical chemistry and other disciplines at the boundary between chemistry and physics, the distinction can be a matter for the researcher's point of view. The properties of materials, both physical and chemical, can be seen as metaphysical; This means that it is secondary to the principle of tangible reality. Multiple metamorphic layers are also possible.
