Answer:- 29.6 moles of carbon.
Solution:- We have been given with 3.7 moles of 
and asked to calculate the moles of C.
Looking at the formula of the compound, there are 8 carbons in it means 1 mol of he compound has 8 moles of C. So, if we multiply the given moles of the compound by 8 then we get the moles of C.
= 29.6 mol C
Hence. there are 29.6 moles of C in 3.7 moles of .
The given complex ion is as follow,
[Ru (CN) (CO)₄]⁻
Where;
[ ] = Coordination Sphere
Ru = Central Metal Atom = <span>Ruthenium
CN = Cyanide Ligand
CO = Carbonyl Ligand
The charge on Ru is calculated as follow,
Ru + (CN) + (CO)</span>₄ = -1
Where;
-1 = overall charge on sphere
0 = Charge on neutral CO
-1 = Charge on CN
So, Putting values,
Ru + (-1) + (0)₄ = -1
Ru - 1 + 0 = -1
Ru - 1 = -1
Ru = -1 + 1
Ru = 0
Result:
<span>Oxidation state of the metal species in each complex [Ru(CN)(CO)</span>₄]⁻ is zero.
Protons is the number of the element on the periodic table. Electrons are the same number of protons and i'm sorry I do not know neutrons, I hope I helped!
Determining on the temperature, ice could melt, water could freeze or evaporate. Just an example.
