Answer:
Oxidation state shows the total number of electrons which have been removed from an element (a positive oxidation state) or added to an element (a negative oxidation state) to get to its present state
The oxidation number of elements in equation below are,
4NH₃ + 3Ca(ClO)₂ → 2N₂ + 6H₂O + 3CaCl₂
O.N of N in NH₃ = -3
O.N of Ca in Ca(ClO)₂ and CaCl₂ = +2
O.N of N in N₂ = 0
O.N of Cl in Ca(ClO)₂ = +1
O.N of Cl in CaCl₂ = -1
Oxidation:
Oxidation number of Nitrogen is increasing from -3 (NH₃) to 0 (N₂).
Reduction:
Oxidation number of Cl is decreasing from +1 [Ca(ClO)₂] to -1 (CaCl₂).
Result:
<span>N is oxidized and Cl is reduced.</span>
Answer:
THE VOLUME OF 0.200M CALCIUM HYDROXIDE NEEDED TO NEUTRALIZE 35 mL of 0.050 M NITRIC ACID IS 43.75 mL.
Explanation:
Using
Ca VA / Cb Vb = Na / Nb
Ca = 0.0500 M
Va = 35 mL
Cb = 0.0200 M
Vb = unknown
Na = 2
Nb = 1
Equation for the reaction:
Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 --------> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O
So therefore, we make Vb the subject of the equation and solve for it
Vb = Ca Va Nb / Cb Na
Vb = 0.0500 * 35 * 1 / 0.0200 * 2
Vb = 1.75 / 0.04
Vb = 43.75 mL
The volume of 0.02M calcium hydroxide required to neutralize 35 mL of 0.05 M nitric acid is 43.75 mL
Answer:
No.
Explanation:
The reason comes the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>.
In an ordinary chemical reaction, <em>you cannot create or destroy atoms</em>.
So, you must have as many atoms at the beginning of a reaction (in the reactants) as at the end (in the products)
We use this principle to balance chemical equations.
For example, the equation for the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen is
2H₂ + O₂ ⟶ 2H₂O
There are four atoms of H and two of O both before and after the reaction.
