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 gas has a temperature of 273.15 K and a pressure of 101.325 kPa. What can be concluded about the gas? It has reached standard
Mandarinka [93]

Explanation:

A gas has a temperature of 273.15 K and a pressure of 101.325 kPa. It can be concluded that this gas has reached standard temperature and pressure.

Standard temperature is zero degree celcius which corresponds to 273.15 degree kelvin.

Standard pressure is 760 mmHg which corresponds to 101.325 kPa.

Count the total number of atoms in sio2:
grigory [225]
Atoms are the basic units of matter and the defining structure of elements. We count the number of atoms by the total number of elements present in the compound. In this case, we have 1 atom of Si and 2 atoms of oxygen which would have 3 total number of atoms.

Explanation:

I think because ca^+2

It’s loses the ion and if u look back u would see that a cation is a t charge but it’s not Goan that electron it’s losing that electron
