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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Yuri [45]4 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>

A student must use 220 mL of hot water in a lab procedure. Calculate the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 220
Inessa [10]

Answer:

64,433.6 Joules

Explanation:

<u>We are given</u>;

  • Volume of water as 220 mL
  • Initial temperature as 30°C
  • Final temperature as 100°C
  • Specific heat capacity of water as 4.184 J/g°C

We are required to calculate the amount of heat required to raise the temperature.

  • We know that amount of heat is calculated by;

Q = mcΔT , where m is the mass, c is the specific heat, ΔT is the change in temperature.

Density of water is 1 g/mL

Thus, mass of water is 220 g

ΔT = 100°C - 30°C

    = 70°C

Therefore;

Amount of heat, Q = 220g × 4.184 J/g°C × 70°C

                               = 64,433.6 Joules

Thus, the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of water is 64,433.6 Joules
