What occurs when Cr^3+ ions are reduced to Cr^2+ ions?

1 answer:

7 0

D:

When electrons are gained, the charge of the atom decreases.

When you are given an atom with a charge, the oxidation of that atom is the charge. So by going from a Cr^3+ (Oxidation Number = 3) to a Cr^2+ (Oxidation Number = 2), the Oxidation Number thus decreases.

1. Calculate the RFM of Fe(NO3)2

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The Relative Formula Mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ is 179.8524 grams

Explanation:

The Relative Formula Mass is the mass of one mole of a compound expressed in grams, obtained by adding together the Relative Atomic Masses, RAM, of the elements which makes the compound

The Relative Formula Mass of a compound is the same as its Relative Molecular Mass

The relative formula mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ is given as follows;

The relative atomic mass of Fe = 55.845 amu

The relative atomic mass of nitrogen, N = 14.0067 amu

The relative atomic mass of oxygen, O = 15.999 amu

Therefore, we have;

The formula mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ = (55.845 + 2×(14.0067 + 3×15.999)) amu = 179.8524 amu

The Relative Formula Mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ = 179.8524 grams.

Please help, I really don’t understand this!!!

kap26 [50]

Analysing the Question:

We are given the balanced equation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂→ 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

from this equation, we can say that: for every 1 mole of Glucose, we need 6 moles of Oxygen

Moles of Glucose used in the reaction:

Molar mass of Glucose = 180 grams / mol

Given mass of Glucose = 1 gram

Mole of Glucose = Given mass / Molar mass

Moles of Glucose = 1 / 180 moles

Mass of Oxygen required:

We know that for every mole of Glucose, we need 6 moles of Oxygen

So, for 1/180 moles of Glucose, we need 6 / 180 = 1 / 30 moles of Oxygen

Mass of 1 / 30 moles of Oxygen:

Mass = Molar mass * number of moles

Mass of Oxygen = 32 * 1/30

Mass of Oxygen = 32 / 30

Mass of Oxygen = 1.06 grams

Breeder reactors are used to convert the nonfissionable nuclide U-238 to a fissionable product. Neutron capture by the U-238 is

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Pu-239

Explanation:

Beta decay moves the element which undergoes the decay one place to the right in the periodic table since to conserve charge and being beta radiations an electron we convert a neutron into a proton and an electron. In neutron capture we increase the atomic mas by one unit. We that in mind, lets solve the question:

U-238 + ₁⁰ n ⇒ U-239 ⇒ Np -239 + ₋₁⁰β ⇒ Pu-239 + ₋₁⁰β
