What is the oxidation state of each element in the species Mn(ClO4)3?

2 answers:

7 0

The oxidation state of the compound Mn (ClO4)3 is to be determined in this problem. For oxygen, the charge is 2-, the total considering its number of atoms is -24. Mn has a charge of +3. TO compute for Mn, we must achieve zero charge overall hence 3+3x-24=0 where x is the Cl charge. Cl charge, x is +7.

Answer:

Mn: 3+

Cl: 7+

O: 2-

Explanation:

1) Compound given: Mn [ClO₄]₃

2) Initially you only know the oxidation state of O, since it is always 2-, except when it form peroxides, which is not the case.

3) So, you do not know the oxidation states neither of the Mn nor of the Cl, and you need some more information.

You might start from the ion [ClO₄] but you do not know its charge.

This ion comes from one of the oxoacids formed by Cl. Those are four different acids. These are them:

i) Oxidation state 1+: Cl₂O + H₂O → H₂Cl₂O₂ = HClO ⇒ ion ClO⁻

ii) Oxidation state 3+: Cl₂O₃ + H₂O → H₂Cl₂O₄ = HClO₂ ⇒ ion ClO₂⁻

iii) Oxidation state 5+: Cl₂O5 + H₂O → H₂Cl₂O₆ = HClO₃ ⇒ ion ClO₃⁻

iv) Oxidation state 7+: Cl₂O₇ + H₂O → H₂Cl₂O₈ = HClO₄ ⇒ ion ClO₄⁻

Finally, we have that our ion is ClO₄⁻ and the oxidation state of Cl is 7+.

4) Now you just have to find the oxidation state of Mn, for which you make a balance of charges:

Mn [ClO₄]₃

Since, the ion ClO₄⁻ has 1 negative charge, and there are 3 ions the total negative charge is 3-. Since the compound is neutral, you conclude that Mn has oxidation state 3+.

That according to this balance: 1(3+) + 3(1-) + 3 - 3 = 0.

5) Summarizing, the oxidation states are:

Mn: 3+

Cl: 7+

O: 2-

Calculate the moles of calcium chloride (CaCl2) needed to react in order to produce 85.00 grams of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). us

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

0.85 mole

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction of CaCl2 to produce CaCO3. This is illustrated below:

When CaCl2 react with Na2CO3, CaCO3 is produced according to the balanced equation:

CaCl2 + Na2CO3 -> CaCO3 + 2NaCl

Step 2:

Conversion of 85g of CaCO3 to mole. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + (16x3) = 40 + 12 + 48 = 100g/mol

Mass of CaCO3 = 85g

Moles of CaCO3 =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mole of CaCO3 = 85/100

Mole of caco= 0.85 mole

Step 3:

Determination of the number of mole of CaCl2 needed to produce 85g (i.e 0. 85 mole) of CaCO3.

This is illustrated below :

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CaCl2 reacted to produced 1 mole of CaCO3.

Therefore, 0.85 mole of CaCl2 will also react to produce 0.85 mole of CaCO3.

From the calculations made above, 0.85 mole of CaCl2 is needed to produce 85g of CaCO3

(Q014) Silicates a. are classified on the basis of what kind of metals they contain. b. form through the evaporation of water. c

Leni [432]

Answer: d. have the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron as their structural unit.

Explanation:

Silicates are anions that have both Oxygen and Silicon as the basis of their structure. These two form a tetrahedron type structure that enable them to be useful for a whole lot of things.

Silicates are very abundant on Earth as they comprise around 95% of the Earth's crust as well as the upper mantle which explains why they are mostly found in igneous rocks.

Which organism would have the most variation in the DNA of its offspring?

Arada [10]

The organism that would have the most variation in the DNA of its offspring is the cat (Option C). Meiosis is a type of cell division that generates more genetic variability than asexual types of reproduction.

Meiosis is a type of reductional cell division by which a parental cell produces 4 daughter cells (gametes), each containing half of the genetic material.

Animals (e.g., cats) generate gametes by meiosis which fuse during fertilization to produce new offspring.

Both amoeba and bacteria reproduce by a type of asexual reproduction called binary fission. Moreover, yeasts also reproduce asexually by a process called budding and fission.

Both asexual and sexual types of reproduction generate genetic variability by the emergence of new mutations in daughter cells.

Meiosis generates much more genetic variability than asexual types of reproduction due to two different processes:

Random assortment of chromosomes, which produces new allele combinations.

Recombination, i.e., by the exchange of genetic material (DNA) between non-sister chromatids during Prophase I.

Caffeine (C8H10N4O2) is a stimulant found in coffees and teas. When dissolved in water, it can accept a proton from a water mole

Olenka [21]

Answer:

See figure 1

Explanation:

If we want to find the acid and the Brønsted-Lowry base, we must remember the definition for each of these molecules:

-) Acid: hydrogen donor

-) Base: hydrogen acceptor

In the caffeine structure, we have several atoms of nitrogen. These nitrogen atoms have the ability to accept hydronium ions ( $H^+$ ). Therefore the caffeine molecule will be the base since it can accept

If caffeine is the base, the water must be the acid. So, the water in this reaction donated a hydronium ion.

Thus, caffeine is the base and water the acid. (See figure 1)
