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.

2.00 L of 0.800 M NaNO3 must be prepared from a solution known to be 2.50 M in concentration.How many mL are required? Plus don'
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

1.36 × 10³ mL of water.

Explanation:

We can utilize the dilution equation. Recall that:

\displaystyle M_1V_1= M_2V_2

Where <em>M</em> represents molarity and <em>V</em> represents volume.

Let the initial concentration and unknown volume be <em>M</em>₁ and <em>V</em>₁, respectively. Let the final concentration and required volume be <em>M</em>₂ and <em>V</em>₂, respectively. Solve for <em>V</em>₁:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (2.50\text{ M})V_1 &= (0.800\text{ M})(2.00\text{ L}) \\ \\ V_1 & = 0.640\text{ L} \end{aligned}

Therefore, we can begin with 0.640 L of the 2.50 M solution and add enough distilled water to dilute the solution to 2.00 L. The required amount of water is thus:
\displaystyle 2.00\text{ L} - 0.640\text{ L} = 1.36\text{ L}

Convert this value to mL:
\displaystyle 1.36\text{ L} \cdot \frac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}} = 1.36\times 10^3\text{ mL}

Therefore, about 1.36 × 10³ mL of water need to be added to the 2.50 M solution.

How is an isotope different from the standard form of a chemical element?
velikii [3]

Answer:

  • The standard form of a chemical element is the natural mixture of several isotopes of the same element, which is atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons, while an isotope is a particular kind of atom with a definite number of neutrons.

Explanation:

A <em>chemical element</em> is a pure substance formed by atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons). This is because it is the number of protons what identifies an element.

For example: oxygen is a chemical element, so oxygen is formed by only atoms of oxygen, and the atomic number of those atoms is 8, because every oxygen atom has 8 protons.

Nevertheless, some atoms of oxygen, may have different number of neutrons. Isotopes are different kind of atoms of the same element, which only differ in the number of neutrons. So, some atoms of oxygen will have 8 neutrons, other 9 neutrons, and other 10 neutrons (those are the stable isotopes of oxygen).

That difference in neutrons, is generally accepted that, does not modifiy substantially the chemical properties of the element, but the mass number. So, the isotopes with more neutrons wil be heavier, and the isotopes with less neutrons will be lighter.

  • Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.

In general a chemical element is formed by a mixutre of isotopes of the same element.
