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

1. A 250g chunk of metal is heated with 400 joules of energy and the temperature goes from 20 °C to 25°C. What is its specific h

Paha777 [63]

The specific heat capacity of this chunk of metal is equal to 0.32 J/g°C.

Given the following data:

Mass of metal = 250g

Quantity of energy = 400 Joules

Initial temperature = 20°C

Final temperature = 20°C

To determine the specific heat capacity of this chunk of metal:

<h3>The formula for quantity of heat.</h3>

Mathematically, quantity of heat is given by the formula;

$Q = mc\theta$

Where:

Q represents the quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity.

∅ represents the change in temperature.

Making c the subject of formula, we have:

$c = \frac{Q}{m\theta}$

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$c = \frac{400}{250 \times (25-20)}\\\\c = \frac{400}{250 \times 5}\\\\c = \frac{400}{1250 }$

Specific heat, c = 0.32 J/g°C.

Mixtures of benzene and cyclohexane exhibit ideal behavior. A solution was created containing 1.5 moles of liquid benzene and 2.

goblinko [34]

Answer:

Vapour pressure of cyclohexane at 50°C is 490torr

Vapour pressure of benzene at 50°C is 90torr

Explanation:

Using Raoult's law, pressure of a solution is defined by the sum of the product sbetween mole fraction of both solvents and pressure of pure solvents.

$P_{solution} = X_{A}P^0_{A}+X_{B}P^0_{B}$
