<span>To determine the oxidation state of a metal, like Fe (Iron) or anything else really, you generally won't know. But look at a periodic table and you'll see that most metals fall into the sort of "valley" section, and this part of the periodic table is called the "d-block" and it has 10 columns. These guys in the d-block of the periodic table have a special way of filling their orbitals, but everything on the left and right are a little simpler to understand. So we see that Br (Bromine) is one of the easier ones to find the oxidation state of, since it's on the right part of the periodic table (where there are 6 columns) and we know that they follow the octet rule, and since bromine is a halogen (That just means it's in the second to last column, which is next to the noble gasses) and things at the top right of the periodic table are highly electronegative, so they'll tend to gain another electron to have a complete octet to fill its orbitals and have a negative charge. Since it only had to gain one to have a complete octet, it's charge is now -1. We can now look at FeBr2 and see that overall the charge is 0. But it has two bromines which each have a charge of -1, so we see that we can set up a little algebra equation: (Charge of Iron) + (Charge of Bromines)=(Total Charge) So, we have: (Charge of Iron) + 2 (-1)=0 So then we can see that Iron is a +2 oxidation state, Iron (II) Bromide.

Stir the water continuously, this is the only logical answer. Adding powdered sugar, decreasing the volume, increasing the amount of suga, cooling, all don't make the sugar dissolve quicker.

which of the following testable questions will provide evidence that elements in the same group have similar properties?
Usimov [2.4K]

The testable question which will provide evidence that elements in the same group have similar properties is valency

<h3>What is the valency?</h3>

In essence, how many electrons are present in their outermost shell.

Valency and Groups in the periodic table, elements are arranged in order of their atomic numbers and hence, the periodic table is a systematic arrangement of elements in an array of vertical columns called Groups and horizontal arrays called Periods.

  • Complete question here:

which of the following testable questions will provide evidence that elements in the same group have similar properties A. Valency B. Orbit C. Group D. Period

Since, the reactive capacities of elements is dependent on the number of electrons on its outermost shell, we can conclude on this note that, Elements in the same group have similar properties.

B) How many kilojoules of heat will be released by the combustion of 22.52 g of this liquid at
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

You realize that C2H5OH releases -1277.3kJ/mol. We need to convert this to the amount based on the question. We that 22.52g of C2H5OH = 0.48884 mol.

This means that it will release (-1277.3)(0.48884) = 624.40 KJ of heat will be released. Note the negative sign is not necessary here (I think) because it says how much is released and not the change in heat of the system so it should be positive.
