Answer:

(a) [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ - Hexacyanoferrate(II) ion

Central metal atom -  Fe

Oxidation state of central metal Fe = +2

(b) [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ : Hexamminecobalt(III) ion

Central metal atom -  Co

Oxidation state of central metal Co = +3

(c) [Co(CN)₅(OH₂)]²⁻ : Aquapentacyanidocobalt(III) ion

Central metal atom -  Co

Oxidation state of central metal Co = +3

(d) [Co(NH₃)₅(SO₄)]⁺ :  Pentaamminesulfatocobalt(III) ion

Central metal atom -  Co

Oxidation state of central metal Co = +3

Explanation:

Oxidation number, also known as oxidation state, describes the number of electrons lost or gained by a chemical element.

(a) [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ - Hexacyanoferrate(II) ion

Central metal atom -  Fe

Let the oxidation state of Fe = x

Charge on CN⁻ ligand = (-1)

x + (-1) × 6 = -4

⇒ x = -4 + 6 = +2

<u>Oxidation state of Fe: x = +2</u>

(b) [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ : Hexamminecobalt(III) ion

Central metal atom -  Co

Let the oxidation state of Co = x

Charge on NH₃ ligand = 0

x + (0) × 6 = +3

⇒ x = +3

<u>Oxidation state of Co: x = +3</u>

(c) [Co(CN)₅(OH₂)]²⁻ : Aquapentacyanidocobalt(III) ion

Central metal atom -  Co

Let the oxidation state of Co = x

Charge on CN⁻ ligand = -1

Charge on H₂O ligand = 0

x + (-1) × 5 + 0 × 1 = -2

⇒ x = +3

<u>Oxidation state of Co: x = +3</u>

(d) [Co(NH₃)₅(SO₄)]⁺ :  Pentaamminesulfatocobalt(III) ion

Central metal atom -  Co

Let the oxidation state of Co = x

Charge on NH₃ ligand = 0

Charge on SO₄²⁻ ligand = -2

x + (0) × 5 + (-2) × 1 = +1

⇒ x = +3

<u>Oxidation state of Co: x = +3</u>

An atom of chlorine with a mass number of 37 contains __ protons and __ neutrons.
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Its in the Explanation

Explanation:

Here's what I got.

Aluminium-27 is an isotope of aluminium characterized by the fact that is has a mass number equal to  

27

.

Now, an atom's mass number tells you the total number of protons and of neutrons that atom has in its nucleus. Since you're dealing with an isotope of aluminum, it follows that this atom must have the exact same number of protons in its nucleus.

The number of protons an atom has in its nucleus is given by the atomic number. A quick looks in the periodic table will show that aluminum has an atomic number equal to  

13

.

This means that any atom that is an isotope of aluminum will have  

13

protons in its nucleus.

Since you're dealing with a neutral atom, the number of electrons that surround the nucleus must be equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.

Therefore, the aluminium-27 isotope will have  

13

electrons surrounding its nucleus.

Finally, use the known mass number to determine how many neutrons you have

mass number

=

no. of protons

+

no. of neutrons

no. of neutrons = 27 − 13 = 14

Boyle's law states that the pressure of a gas is always:
natka813 [3]

Answer:

d. inversely proportional to the volume of its container.

Explanation:

Boyle's law  states that at constant temperature and number of moles, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas.

Thus, P ∝ T

P is the pressure

T is the temperature

For two gases at same temperature, the law can be written as:-

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

<u>Thus, according to the question, the answer is:- d. inversely proportional to the volume of its container.</u>

What is a nuclear acid ​
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Nucleic acid is an important class of macromolecules found in all cells and viruses. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) encodes the information the cell needs to make proteins.

A related type of nucleic acid, called ribonucleic acid (RNA), comes in different molecular forms that participate in protein synthesis.
