1. An oxide of chromium is found to have the following % composition: 68.4% Cr

Chemistry
1 answer:
abruzzese [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Empirical formula is Cr₂O₃.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of Cr = 68.4%

Percentage of O = 31.6%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of Cr = 68.4 / 52 = 1.3 2

Number of gram atoms of O = 31.6 / 16 = 1.98

Atomic ratio:

                            Cr               :         O

                           1.32/1.32     :       1.98/1.32

                               1              :        1.5

Cr : O = 1 :  1.5

Cr : O = 2(1 : 1.5)

Empirical formula is Cr₂O₃.

Atoms of the same element can have different forms; for example, carbon-12 and carbon-14.
cricket20 [7]
A carbon-12 atom has 6 protons (6P) and 6 neutrons (6N). But some types of carbon have more than six neutrons. We call forms of elements that have a different number of neutrons, isotopes. For example, carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon that has six protons and eight neutrons in its nucleus.

Write the overall, balanced molecular equation and indicate which element is oxidized and which is reduced for the following rea
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Cd(s) + AgNO₃(aq)  → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ag(s)

Oxidized: Cd

Reduced: Ag

Explanation:

Cd(s) + AgNO₃(aq)  → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ag(s)

Cd → Cd²⁺  +  2e⁻      Half reaction oxidation

1e⁻ + Ag⁺ → Ag           Half reaction reduction

Ag changed oxidation number from +1 to 0

Cd changed oxidation number from 0 to +2

Let's ballance the electrons

( Cd → Cd²⁺  +  2e⁻ ) .1

( 1e⁻ + Ag⁺ → Ag ) .2

Cd + 2e⁻ + 2Ag⁺  → 2Ag +  Cd²⁺  +  2e⁻

Finally the ballance equation is:

Cd(s) + 2AgNO₃(aq)  → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2Ag(s)

Write the formula for a compound of manganese (IV) hydroxide.?
Oxana [17]
You first add the manganese and exchange the number of electrons needed with the hydroxide. While the hydroxide needs only 1 electron the manganese needs 4, so after you exchange the electrons the manganese will be just 1 atom while the hydroxide is 4. Mn(OH)4
