Answer:

Explanation:

In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.

We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.

The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.

To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:

  • The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
  • The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to  the charge on the ion.

For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻

This would be:  2x + 7(-2) = -2

                          x = +6

We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.

Answer:

A bonding that occurs between high electronegative atoms such are N, F, O and H atoms, is called a hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bond is a very strong bond. (C)

If hydrogen bonds are not formed between H atoms and N, F, O atom, then the atoms interact through dispersion forces (also known as london dispersion forces). Dispersion forces are weak and they are temporary forces formed by overlapping of orbitals. (B)

Why doesn’t the KHP concentration have to be exactly 0.100M? Explain using complete sentences.
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The answer is in the explanation.

Explanation:

The KHP is an acid used as standard in titrations to find concentration of bases as NaOH.

The reaction that explain this use is:

KHP + NaOH → KNaP + H2O

<em>where 1 mole of KHP reacts per mole of NaOH</em>

That means, at equivalence point of a titration in which titrant is NaOH, the moles of KHP = Moles of NaOH added

With the moles of KHP = Moles of NaOH and the volume used by titrant we can find the molar concentration of NaOH.

The moles of KHP are obtained from the volume and the concentration as follows:

Volume(L)*Concentration (Molarity,M) = moles of KHP

If the concentration is more or less than 0.100M, the moles will be higher or lower. For that reason, we need to know the concentration of KHP but is not necessary to be 0.100M.

What is the density of an object that has a mass of 28.1g and a volume of 96.2mL? Select the correct answer below: 0.292g/mL 270
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

0.292 g/mL.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of object = 28.1 g

Volume of object = 96.2 mL

Density of object =..?

Density of an object is simply defined as the mass of the object per unit volume of the object. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Density = mass / volume

With the above formula, we can obtain the density of the object as follow:

Mass of object = 28.1 g

Volume of object = 96.2 mL

Density of object =..?

Density = mass / volume

Density = 28.1 / 96.2

Density of object = 0.292 g/mL

Thus the density of the object is 0.292 g/mL
