What is the oxidation number of cl− in the perchlorate ion

Chemistry
1 answer:
Yuri [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer is: +7

Explanation:

Oxidation state or oxidation number of an element is the hypothetical charge on an element that forms completely ionic bonds. The oxidation number represents the number of electrons lost or gained by that element.

Perchlorate ion is a molecule with a chemical formula: ClO₄⁻

The oxidation state of oxygen in ClO₄⁻ = -2,

the total charge on the ClO₄⁻ molecule = -1,

let the oxidation state of chlorine be x

<u><em>As the sum of oxidation states of all elements in a molecule is equal to the total charge on the molecule.</em></u>

⇒ oxidation state of chlorine + oxidation state of oxygen × 4 = total charge on the molecule

⇒ x + (-2) × 4 = -1

⇒ x + (-8) = -1

⇒ x = -1 + 8 = +7

⇒<u> </u><u>x = +7</u>

<u>Therefore, the oxidation state of chlorine in the perchlorate ion (ClO₄⁻): x = +7</u>

if 0.3 moles of carbon reacts completely with 0.3 moles of molecular oxygen, what is the yield in Percent of 6.6 g of CO2 are fo
Anettt [7]
Answer is:<span>the yield is 50%.
</span>
Chemical reaction: C + O₂ → CO₂.
n(C) = 0.3 mol; amount of substance.
n(O₂) = 0.3 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(C) : n(CO₂) = 1 : 1.
n(CO₂) = 0.3 mol.
M(CO₂) = 44 g/mol; molar mass of caron(IV) oxide.
m(CO₂) = n(CO₂) · M(CO₂).
m(CO₂) =0.3 mol · 44 g/mol.
m(CO₂) = 13.2 g; mass of carbon(IV) oxide.
the yield = 6.6 g ÷ 13.2 g · 100%.
the yield = 50%.

What is the equation for "acid dissociation constant" of "carbonic acid"
Margaret [11]

Answer:

H2CO3 = 2H+ + CO3-

Explanation:

It is simply what carbonic acid breaks down into when placed in water. Since carbonic acid is made up of H and CO3, these are the products.
