Which particle of the atom has a negative charge?

which atom has a change in oxidation number of -3 in the following redox reaction K2Cr2O7 + H2O +S --> KOH + Cr2O3 +SO2

yaroslaw [1]

You have to calculate the oxidation estates of the atoms in each compound.

I will start with K2Cr2O7 because I believe that Cr is the best candidate to reduce its oxidation number in 3 units.

In K2Cr2O7:

- K has oxidation state of 1+, then K2 has a charge of 2* (1+) = 2+.

- O has oxidation state of 2*, then O7 has a charge of 7* (2-) = 14-.

That makes that Cr2 has charge of 14 - 2 = +12, so each Cr has +12/2 = +6 oxidation state.

In Cr2O3:

- O has oxidation state of 2-, then O3 has charge 3 * (2-) = - 6

- Then, Cr2 has charge 6+, and each Cr has charge 6+ / 2 = 3+.

So, we have seen that Cr reduced its oxidation state in 3 units, from 6+ to 3+.

Answer: Cr has a change in oxidation number of - 3.

How many moles of chlorine are in 6.67x10^40 chlorine molecules?

sweet-ann [11.9K]

To solve for the number of moles, we simply have to use the Avogadros number which states that there are 6.022 x 10^23 molecules per mole. Therefore:

number of moles = 6.67 X 10^40 chlorine molecules / (6.022 x 10^23 molecules / mole)
number of moles = 1.108 x 10^17 moles

Given the equation representing a reversible reaction:which formula represents the h+ acceptor in the forward reaction?

AnnyKZ [126]

Question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below
.............................................................................................................................

Answer: Option A: HCO3-(aq.)

Reason:
From the reaction, it can be seen that following reaction occurs in forward direct

HCO3-(aq) + H2O(l) → H2CO3(aq) + OH-(aq)

In above forward reaction, HCO3- accepts proton from H2O to generate H2CO3. Thus, according to Lowry and Bronsted theory of acid-base, HCO3- is a base, while H2CO3 is a conjugate acid.

Write and balance the equation for the combination of ammonia gas with solid copper (II) oxide to produce copper metal, nitrogen

Katena32 [7]

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$3CuO(s)+2NH_3(g)\rightarrow 3Cu(s)+N_2(g)+3H_2O(l)$

By the stiochiometry, 3 moles of solid copper(II)oxide react with 2 moles of ammonia gas to give 3 moles of copper metal, 1 mole of nitrogen gas and 3 moles of liquid water.

The states of matter of each elements and compound is,

Copper(II)oxide is in solid state

Ammonia is in gaseous state

Copper metal is in solid state

Nitrogen is in gaseous state

Water is in liquid state
