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.

Select the correct answer. What is the percent composition of silicon in silicon carbide (SiC)? A. 28% B. 50% C. 70% D. 142%
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

C. 70%

Explanation:

Atomic Mass of the silicon = 28 g.

Atomic mass of the Carbon = 12 g.

Total mass of the Silicon Carbide = 28 + 12

= 40 g.

Now, Using the formula.

% Composition = Mass of the silicon/Total mass of the compound × 100 %

= 28/40 × 100 %

= 70 %

Hence, % composition of the silicon in SiC is 70%

Borax (na2b4o7·10h2o; fw = 381.372 g/mol; density = 1.73 g/ml), a primary standard, was used to standardize a solution of hno3.
SashulF [63]
<span>0.06355391 mol The balanced equation for the reaction is Na2B4O7*10H2O + 2 HNO3 = 2 NaNO3 + 4 H3BO3 + 5 H2O So for each mole of Borax to neutralize, it takes 2 moles of HNO3. Calculate number of moles of Borax 0.2619 g / 381.372 g/mol = 0.0006867 mol Moles of HNO3 used = 0.0006867 mol * 2 = 0.0013734 mol Molarity is defined as moles per liter so divide the number of moles used by the volume in liters. So 0.0013734 / 0.02161 = 0.06355391 mol</span>
