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<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.

A water bottle has a mass of 14.0g. Given a density of 1.38g/cm^3, what is the volume of the plastic used to make the water bott

Kipish [7]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Volume \ of \ plastic \ used = 10.14 \ cm^3}$

Given:

Mass = 14.0 g

Density ( $\rho$ ) = 1.38 g/cm³

To Find:

Volume (V)of the plastic used to make water bottle

Explanation:

Formula:

$\boxed{ \bold{Density \ (\rho) = \frac{Mass \ (m)}{Volume \ (V)}}}$

Substituting value of m & density in the formula:

$\sf \implies 1.38 = \frac{14.0}{V} \\ \\ \sf \implies V = \frac{14.0}{1.38} \\ \\ \sf \implies V = 10.14 \ cm^3$

$\therefore$

Volume of the plastic used to make water bottle = 10.14 cm³

Which particle is J.J Thomson credited with discovering

Inessa [10]

Thomson in 1897 was the first to suggest that one of the fundamental units was more than 1,000 times smaller than an atom, suggesting the subatomic particle now known as the electron. Thomson discovered this through his explorations on the properties of cathode rays.

joja [24]

Answer:

(a) Increasing the temperature adds heat which is a reactant shifting the equilibrium rightwards.

(b) Pressure has no effect since the change in the number of moles is zero.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, one could represent the given reaction as:

$N_2(g)+O_2(g)+ \Delta _rH \leftrightarrow 2NO$

Since it is endothermic. Thus, solving the (a) statement, one identifies the heat as a reagent, that is why the reaction cools down as it progress, therefore, by increasing the temperature, heat is added, that is, a reagent is added, which shifts the equilibrium rightwards, in other words, more NO is produced so its concentration increases.

Furthermore, for the (b) statement, since the change in the number of moles is zero, based on the stoichiometric coefficients as shown below:

$\Delta \nu =2-1-1=0$

Such value implies that the pressure has no effect on the concentration, taking into account the following form of the law of mass action:

$Kp=Kc(RT)^{\Delta \nu }$

Thus, since $\Delta \nu =0$ , $Kp=Kc$ , so no effect in concentration is due to the pressure.

Best regards.
