Answer:

The identity of the gas is Cl₂ (chlorine)

Explanation:

STP conditions are:

1 atm → Pressure

273.15 K → T°

So, we must use the Ideal Gas Law to get the moles.

Before that, we will think density as data where 3.164 g of diatomic gas are contained in 1 L of volume.

P.V = n . R . T

1 atm . 1 L = n. 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 273.15K

1 L.atm / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 273.15K) = n

0.0446 mol = n

This quantity of diatomic gas, are 3.164 g so the molar mass will be:

Mass / mol = molar mass

3.164 g / 0.0446 mol = 70.9 g/m

The element (a diatomic molecule), which has that molar mass in the periodic table is the Cl₂.

1 Cl = 35.45 g/m

Cl₂. = 70.9 g/m

The coordination compound Co3[Cr(CN)6]2 contains Co2+ cations and a complex anion. What is the likely oxidation state for Cr in

otez555 [7]

Answer:

-3

Explanation:

The oxidation state or oxidation number of an atom is the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom.

The complex anion here is [Cr(CN)6]3-.

Now, as the oxidation state of CN or cyanide ligand is -1, and if we suppose the oxidation state of Cr to be 'x', then; x - 6 = -3 (overall charge on the anion),

so x= +3. Hence the oxidation state of Chromium in this complex hexacyanochromium (III) anion comes out to be -3.
