Answer:

a). Coordination no. of $[Ni(en)_2(NH_3)_2]^2+$ = 6

b). Coordination no. of $[Fe(en)(ox)Cl_2]^2-$ = 6

Explanation:

Coordination number is defined as number of donar atoms bonded to the central atom of the complex ion.

a). Coordination no. of $[Ni(en)_2(NH_3)_2]^2+$ = 6

en or ethylenediamine is a bidentate ligand.

In bidentate ligand, two atoms directly bonded to the central atom.

NH3 is a unidentate ligand.

So, coordination no.= No. of bidentate ligand x 2 + No. of unidentate ligand

= $2\times 2 + 2 = 6$

b). Coordination no. of $[Fe(en)(ox)Cl_2]^2-$ = 6

Ethylenediamine (en) is a bidentate ligand.

oxalate ion (ox) is also a bidentate ligand.

Cl is a unidentate ligand

So, coordination no.= No. of bidentate ligand x 2 + No. of unidentate ligand

= $2\times 2 + 2 = 6$

For the reaction shown here, 3.5 mola is mixed with 5.9 molb and 2.2 molc. what is the limiting reactant?3a+2b+c→2d

Misha Larkins [42]

<span>For equation A + 3B + 2C ---> 2D, 1 mole of A will produce 2 moles of D 3 moles of B will produce 2 moles of D, so 1 mole of B will produce 2/3 moles of D 2 moles of C will produce 2 moles of D, so 1 mole of C will produce 1 mole of D If only 1 mole of B is present, only 2/3 moles of D can be produced. This is regardless of the number of moles of A and C. B is the limiting reactant and the maximum number of moles of D expected is 2/3.</span>

The ostwald process is used commercially to produce nitric acid, which is, in turn, used in many modern chemical processes. in t

Debora [2.8K]

The complete balanced chemical equation is:
4 NH3 (g) + 5 O2 (g) → 4 NO (g) + 6 H2O (g)

In statement form: 4mol NH3 reacts with 5 mol O2 to produce 6 mol H2O

First let us find for the limiting reactant:
>molar mass NH3 = 17 g/mol
moles NH3 = 54/17 = 3.18 mol NH3
This will react with 3.18*5/4 = 3.97 mol O2

>molar mass O2 = 32g/mol
moles O2 = 54/32 = 1.69 mol O2
We have insufficient O2 therefore this is the limiting reactant

From the balanced equation:
For every 5.0 mol O2, we get 6.0 mol H2O, therefore

moles H2O formed = 1.69 mol O2 * 6/5 = 2.025 mol
Molar mass H2O = 18g/mol
<span>mass H2O formed = 2.025*18 = 36.45 grams H2O produced</span>

How do you know the number of valence electrons for those elements?

salantis [7]

Answer:

For neutral atoms, the number of valence electrons is equal to the atom's main group number. The main group number for an element can be found from its column on the periodic table. For example, carbon is in group 4 and has 4 valence electrons. Oxygen is in group 6 and has 6 valence electrons.
