which atom has a change in oxidation number of -3 in the following redox reaction K2Cr2O7 + H2O +S --> KOH + Cr2O3 +SO2

yaroslaw [1]

You have to calculate the oxidation estates of the atoms in each compound.

I will start with K2Cr2O7 because I believe that Cr is the best candidate to reduce its oxidation number in 3 units.

In K2Cr2O7:

- K has oxidation state of 1+, then K2 has a charge of 2* (1+) = 2+.

- O has oxidation state of 2*, then O7 has a charge of 7* (2-) = 14-.

That makes that Cr2 has charge of 14 - 2 = +12, so each Cr has +12/2 = +6 oxidation state.

In Cr2O3:

- O has oxidation state of 2-, then O3 has charge 3 * (2-) = - 6

- Then, Cr2 has charge 6+, and each Cr has charge 6+ / 2 = 3+.

So, we have seen that Cr reduced its oxidation state in 3 units, from 6+ to 3+.

Answer: Cr has a change in oxidation number of - 3.

Even though so much energy is required to form a metal cation with a 2+ charge, the alkaline earth metals form halides with gene

nasty-shy [4]

The ∆Hrxn of the reaction is -394.5kJ/mol.

<h3>What is alkaline earth metal? </h3>

The alkaline earth metals are those elements which correspond to group 2 of the modern periodic table.

All elements of this group forms a cation of +2 charge.

The other elements of this group are:

Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium.

<h3>What is Halogen? </h3>

The Halogen elements are present in group 17 of the modern periodic table.

All elements of this groups forms anions of -1 charge.

The elements of this group are:

Fluorine, Chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.

∆Hrxn = ∆H(bond broken) - ∆H(bond formed)

We have following data of bond energy in kJ/mol:

Mg—Mg = 738

Cl—Cl = -349

Mg—Cl = 783.5

Since, one mole of Mg react with one mole of Cl atom to form one mole of MgCl

∆Hrxn = 738-349-783.5

∆Hrxn = -394.5kJ/mol.

Thus, we concluded that the ∆Hrxn of the reaction is -394.5kJ/mol.

Lakshmi has a sample of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) that has a mass of 40. 10 g. She knows that the molar mass of NH4NO3 is 80. 04

nexus9112 [7]

Moles are an estimation of the smallest unit of the molecules and the atoms in a sample. The moles of ammonium nitrate in a sample are 0.5010 moles.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

Moles are calculated by dividing the mass of the substance in gm by that of the molar mass in gram per mole.

Given.

Mass of ammonium nitrate = 40.10 gm

The molar mass of ammonium nitrate = 80. 0432 g/mol

Moles of ammonium nitrate are calculated as:

$\begin{aligned}\rm moles &= \rm \dfrac{mass}{molar\; mass}\\\\&= \dfrac{40.10}{80.0432}\\\\&= 0.5010 \;\rm mol\end{aligned}$
