Complete Question:

Suppose a cobalt atom in the +3 oxidation state formed a complex with two bromide (Br-) anions and four ammonia (NH3) molecules. write the chemical formula of this complex.

Answer:

[Co(NH₃)₄]⁺Br₂

Explanation:

The cobalt atom with +3 oxidation is represented as Co⁺³, and if it's bonded to two bromide ions, and four ammonia molecules. The molecules that are bonded to the metal atom (Co) are called complexing agents.

In the representation, we first put the molecules that surround the metal atom, forming an anion with the oxidation of the metal:

[Co(NH₃)₄]⁺³

Then, the ions are put in the formula. Because there are two bromides ion, each one with 1 minus charge, only 2 plus charged will be neutralized, and the complex will be:

[Co(NH₃)₄]⁺Br₂

2. A sample of table sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11) has a mass of 1.202 g.
Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

Given mass of sugar = 1.202 g

Molar mass of the sugar , C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} = 342.29 g/mol

a) Number of moles of sugar

\text{number of moles}=\frac{\text{given mass of sugar}}{\text{molar mass of sugar}}=\frac{1.202 g}{342.29g/mol}=0.0035 mol

Number of moles of sugar in 1.202 grams is 0.0035 moles

b)Moles of each element in C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}

In a molecular formula of sugar there are 12 carbon, 22 hydrogen and 11 oxygen atoms

Moles of an element in molecule =

number of atoms of that element in a molecular formula × number of moles of compound

Moles of carbon = 12 × 0.0035 = 0.042 moles

Similarly

Moles of hydrogen = 22  × 0.0035 = 0.077 moles

Moles of oxygen =11 × 0.0035 = 0.0385 moles

c) Number of atoms of each type in C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}

\text{Number of atoms}=\text{number of moles of that atom in a molecular formula}\times \text{Avogadro number}

Number of carbon atoms =0.042 mole\times 6.022 \times 10^{23}=2.52\times 10^{22} atoms

Number of hydrogen =0.077mole\times 6.022 \times 10^{23}=4.63\times 10^{22} atoms

Number of oxygen atoms = 0.0385 mole\times 6.022 \times 10^{23}=2.31\times 10^{22} atoms
