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

1 answer:

5 0

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 (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 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.

A compound is found to be 63.6 % N and 36.4% O. What is the empirical formula?

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

NO2

Explanation:

Calculate moles of Nitrogen and oxygen (assume total mass is 100g as you only have percentages therefore there is 63.6g of N and 36.4g of O) This is the ratio that they are in but you need the ratio to be in whole numbers therefore divide each number of moles by 2.275 (the moles of oxygen) to calculate the empirical formula. Hope this helps!

A mixture of carbon dioxide and hydrogen gases is maintained in a 6.68 L flask at a pressure of 2.14 atm and a temperature of 19

matrenka [14]

Answer:

The mass of hydrogen gas in the mixture: w₂ = 0.433 g

Explanation:

According to the ideal gas equation:

for an ideal gas, $P.V = n_{total}.R.T$

and $n_{total}= n_{1}+n_{2}$

Here, P: total pressure of the gases = 2.14 atm

V: total volume of the gases = 6.68 L

T: temperature = 19 °C = 19+273.15 = 292.15K (∵ 0°C = 273.15K)

R: gas constant = 0.08206 L·atm·K⁻¹·mol⁻¹

$n_{total}$ : total number of moles of gases

To calculate the total number of moles of gases:

$n_{total} = \frac{P.V}{R.T} = \frac{2.14 atm\times 6.68 L}{0.08206 LatmK^{-}mol^{-}\times 292.15K}$ = 0.5963 moles

Let, the number of moles of carbon dioxide be n₁ and number of moles of hydrogen be n₂

Given: mass of carbon dioxide: w₁ = 16.8 g, mass of hydrogen: w₂ = ?g

molar mass of carbon dioxide: m₁ = 44.01 g/mol, molar mass of hydrogen: m₂= 2.016 g/mol

Therefore, $n_{total}$ = n_{1}+n_{2} = (w₁ ÷ m₁) + (w₂ ÷ m₂)

⇒ 0.5963 mol = (16.8 g ÷ 44.01 g/mol) + (w₂ ÷ 2.016 g/mol)

⇒ 0.5963 mol = (0.3817mol) + (w₂ ÷ 2.016 g/mol)

⇒ 0.5963 mol - 0.3817mol = (w₂ ÷ 2.016 g/mol)

⇒ 0.2146 mol = (w₂ ÷ 2.016 g/mol)

⇒ w₂ = 0.433 g

Therefore, the mass of hydrogen gas in the mixture: w₂ = 0.433 g

Write an equation for the hydrogenation of glyceryl trilinolenate, a fat formed from glycerol and three linolenic acid molecules

Tomtit [17]

Balanced chemical equation for the hydrogenation of glyceryl trilinolenate:

C₅₇H₉₂O₆ + 9H₂ → C₅₇H₁₁₀O₆.

Linolenic acid (octadecatrienoic acids ) is a type of fatty acid. It has 18 carbon atoms chain and three double bonds. So trilinolenate has nine double bonds.

Trilinolenate is the form of triglyceride esters of linolenic acid.

Hydrogenation is addition of hydrogen atoms at both sides of a double bond.

Explain how to use the periodic table to deduce the number of protons, neutrons and electrons of an atom of a specific element

Ksju [112]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The periodic table shows the atomic number and mass number of each element.

We know that the atomic number shows;

The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom
The number of electrons in the neutral atom of the element.

So we obtain the number of protons and electrons by looking at the atomic number shown in the periodic table.

We also know that;

Mass number = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Since number of protons = atomic number of the atom

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number

Hence we obtain the number of protons by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number given in the periodic table.
