Which element is oxidized in the reaction below? fe(co)5 (l) + 2hi (g) fe(co)4i2 (s) + co (g) + h2 (g)?

Oxidation state of I is (-1) and for CO it is zero. Let's assume that the oxidation state of Fe in Fe(CO)₄I₂<span> (s) is x. For whole compound, the charge is zero.

Sum of oxidation numbers in all elements = Charge of the compound.

Here we have 1Fe , 4CO and 2I
hence we can find the oxidation state as;
x + 4*0 + 2*(-1) = 0
x + 0 - 2 = 0
x = +2
Hence the oxidation state of Fe in product </span>Fe(CO)₄I₂ (s) is +2.

Same as we can find the oxidation state (y) of Fe in Fe(CO)₅(s).
y + 5*0 = 0
y = 0

Since oxidation state of Fe increased from 0 to +2, the oxidized element is Fe in the given reaction.

-BARSIC- [3]

Answers:

A) 2040 kg/m³; B) 58 600 km

Explanation:

A) Density

$V = \frac{ 4}{3 }\pi r^{3} = \frac{ 4}{3 }\pi\times (\text{1150 km})^{3} = 6.37 \times 10^{9} \text{ km}^{3}$

$\text{Density} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} = \frac{1.3\times 10^{22} \text{ kg} }{6.37 \times 10^{9} \text{ km}^{3}}\times (\frac{\text{1 km}}{\text{1000 m}})^{3} = \text{2040 kg/m}^{3}$

<em>B) Radius</em>

$\text{Volume} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}} = \frac{5.68\times 10^{26} \text{ kg} }{687 \text{ kg/m}^{3} }= 8.268 \times 10^{23} \text{ m}^{3}$

$V = \frac{ 4}{3 }\pi r^{3}$

$r^{3} = \frac{3V }{4 \pi }\$

$r= \sqrt [3]{ \frac{3V }{4 \pi } }$

$r= \sqrt [3]{ \frac{3\times 8.268 \times 10^{23} \text{ m}^{3}}{4 \pi } }= \sqrt [3]{ 1.974 \times 10^{23} \text{ m}^{3}}= 5.82 \times 10^{7} \text{ m}=\text{58 200 km}$

If an atom has an atomic number of 6 and and abdomens mass of 12 how many electrons does it have

Basile [38]

Atomic number refers to the proton number of the atom itself. Number of electrons in an atom (an atom that is not reacted with any other molecules / Just the atom alone), is the same as the number of protons, because each electron has 1 negative charge, and each proton 1 positive charge, where they cancel out on each other to become a neutral charge.

So, when atomic number is 6, proton number is also 6, and number of electrons will also be 6 in that atom.

Hope this helps! :)

11. If four gases in a cylinder each exert 6 atm, what is the total pressure exerted by the

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

24 atm is the total pressure exerted by the gases

Explanation:

We propose this situation:

In a vessel, we have 4 gases (for example, hydrogen, Xe, methane and chlorine)

Each of the gases has the same pressure:

6 atm → hydrogen

6 atm → xenon

6 atm → methane

6 atm → chlorine

To determine the total pressure, we sum all of them:

Partial pressure H₂ + Partial pressure Xe + Partial pressure CH₄ + Partial pressure Cl₂ = Total P

6 atm + 6 atm + 6 atm + 6 atm = 24atm
