nikklg [1K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The oxidation state of sulfur, S, is +6, and the oxidation state of oxygen, O, is - 2:

  • S: 6+
  • O: 2-

Explanation:

Application of rules

1. <u>Ion SO₄²⁻</u>

In a neutral compound, the sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms that constitute the compound is equal to zero. In ions the sum of the oxidation states of the atoms is equal to the charge of the ion.

  • In this case, the ion SO₄²⁻ has charge negative 2: - 2

<u>2. Oxygen</u>

With the exception of the peroxides, when oxygen is combined with other elements, it always has oxidation state - 2.

Hence, the total charge of the four atoms of oxygen in SO₄²⁻ is 4×(-2) = - 8.

<u>3. Sulfur</u>

Therefore, naming x the unknown oxidation state of S, you can set this equation:

  • x + ( - 8) = - 2
  • ⇒ x = - 2- ( - 8) = - 2 + 8 = + 6

Conclusion

  • In SO₄²⁻, the oxidation state of sulfur, S, is +6, and the oxidation state of oxygen, O, is - 2.

Assume that all of this fossil fuel is in the form of octane (C8H18) and calculate how much CO2 in kilograms is produced by worl
AnnZ [28]

The given question is incomplete. the complete question is:

The world burns the fossil fuel equivalent of approximately 9.50\times 10^{12} kg of petroleum per year. Assume that all of this petroleum is in the form of octane. Calculate how much CO2 in kilograms is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year.( Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion of octane.)

Answer: 29\times 10^{12}kg

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

2_C8H_{18}+17O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of octane}=\frac{9.50\times 10^{12}\times 10^3g}{114g/mol}=0.083\times 10^{15}moles

According to stoichiometry :

As 2 moles of octane give = 16 moles of CO_2

Thus 0.083\times 10^{15}moles of octane give =\frac{16}{2}\times 0.083\times 10^{15}=0.664\times 10^{15}moles  of CO_2

Mass of CO_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.664\times 10^{15}moles\times 44g/mol=29.2\times 10^{15}g=29.2\times 10^{12}kg

Thus 29\times 10^{12}kg of CO_2 is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year.

A compound with molecular formula C6H15N exhibits a singlet at d 0.9 ppm (1H), a triplet at 1.10 ppm (3H), a singlet at 1.15 ppm
Triss [41]

Answer:

CH3 - CH2 - NH - C(CH3)3

Explanation:

The 1HNMR is the acronym for Proton nuclear magnetic resonance and it is used in chemistry or Chemical laboratory for the analysis and identification of compounds.

In order to be able to answer the question accurately you have to have the tables containing all the values for chemical shift. The Chemical shift is measured in ppm and it occur due to Resonance frequency variation.

From the table, a singlet at 1.15 ppm (9H) is - C(CH3)3.

A singlet at d 0.9 ppm (1H) shows the presence of a secondary amine group, that is -R2NH group.

A triplet at 1.10 ppm (3H) shows that we have;

CH3- CH2-

A quartet at 2.6 ppm (2H) shows that we have;

-CH2 - CH3.

Therefore, joining all together we have;

CH3 - CH2 - NH - C(CH3)3.

Kindly check attached file for the picture of the structure.

List 2 extensive properties and 3 intensive properties of a 5.0g, 1 cm3 cube of silver
jeka57 [31]

Properties of matter can be broadly classified into two categories:

Physical properties which usually involve a change in the state of matter and Chemical properties which involve a change in the chemical composition of matter.

Now, physical properties can be further classified as:

Extensive: these depend on the amount of the substance, eg: mass, volume  

Intensive: these do not depend on the amount of the substance eg: density, color, melting point, boiling point

Here we are given a 5.0 g and 1 cm3 silver cube :

Therefore:

Extensive properties are-

1) Mass of silver = 5.0 g

2) Volume of silver = 1 cm3

Intensive properties are:

1) Density of silver = mass/volume = 5.0 g/ 1 cm3 = 5.0 g/cm3

2) Melting point of silver = 962 C

3) Color = white/gray

Consider the reaction.
N76 [4]

Answer: m = 50 g ZnSO4

Explanation: First is convert the moles of Zn to the moles of ZnSO4 by having their mole ratio which is 2:2 based from the balanced equation. Next is convert the moles of ZnSO4 to mass using its molar mass.

0.311 mole Zn x 2 moles ZnSO4 / 2 moles Zn

= 0.311 moles ZnSO4

0.311 moles ZnSO4 x 161 g ZnSO4 / 1 mole ZnSO4

= 50 ZnSO4
