<u>Answer:</u> The oxidation state of chromium in the given compound is +4

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation state is the number that is assigned to the element when it gains or looses electrons.

If an element gains electron, it will attain a negative oxidation state and if the element looses electrons, it will attain a positive oxidation state.

We take the oxidation state of chromium atom be 'x'.

Oxidation state of sulfate ion $(SO_4^{2-})$ = -2

Evaluating the oxidation state of chromium atom:

$x+2(-2)=0\\\\x=+4$

Hence, the oxidation state of chromium in the given compound is +4

Answer:
SO4= is -2 each, and there are 2 of them,so 2 x -2 = -4, and Cr must be +4.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

64 kg

Explanation:

The computation of the number of kg need to ordered is shown below:

As we know that

$CaC_2 + 2H_2O \rightarrow Ca(OH)^2 + C_2H_2$

Now as we know that

1 mole of $C_2H_2$ generated from 1 mole of $CaC_2$

Now

26g of $C_2H_2$ generated from 64g of $CaC_2$

And,

26kg of $C_2H_2$ generated from

= $\frac{64g\times26Kg}{26g}$

= 64kg $CaC_2$

Hence, the number of kg that required for ordering the calcium carbide is 64 kg

Ammonia, nh3, for fertilizer is made by causing hydrogen and nitrogen to react at high temperature and pressure. How many moles

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

$0.30molNH_3$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the reaction for the formation of ammonia is:

$3H_2+N_2\rightarrow 2NH_3$

We can evidence the 1:2 mole ratio of nitrogen gas to ammonia; therefore, the appropriate stoichiometric setup for the calculation of the moles of the latter turns out to be:

$0.15molN_2*\frac{2molNH_3}{1molN_2}$

And the result is:

$0.30molNH_3$

Best regards!

Convert mass to moles for both reactants. (round to 2 significant figures.) 2.50 g cuci2 equals moles e 0.25 g Al equals moles D

Marat540 [252]

To convert a mass of a substance to units of moles, we would need the molar mass of the substance since is it describes the mass of one mole of that substance. For CuCl2, the molar mass is 134.45 g/mol. For Al, the atomic mass is 26.98 g/mol.

2.50 g CuCl2 ( 1 mol / 134.45) = 0.019 mol CuCl2
0.25 g Al ( 1 mol / 26.98 g ) = 0.0093 mol Al
