Answer:
Explanation:
In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.
We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.
The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.
To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:
- The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
- The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to the charge on the ion.
For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻
This would be: 2x + 7(-2) = -2
x = +6
We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.
Answers:
(a) 30.55 °C
(b) 298 K and 77°F
(c) 204.44 °C and 477.44 K
(d) -320.8 °F and -196 °C
Explanation:
Converting °C into °F;
°F = °C × 1.8 + 32
Converting °F into °C;
°C = °F - 32 ÷ 1,8
Converting °C into K;
K = °C + 273
Converting K into °C;
°C = K - 273
Answer is: n-octane.
Octane is the straight-chain alkane (an acyclic saturated hydrocarbon) with eight carbon atoms.
Carbons in octane have sp3 hybridization (carbon’s 2s and three 2p orbitals combine into four identical sp3 orbitals).
Orbitals in sp3 hybridization have a tetrahedral arrangement and form single (sigma) bonds.
Burning octane fuel is very fast chemical reaction, it happens in immediately.
Main products of the combustion of fossil fuels are carbon(IV) oxide and water.
Chemical reaction: C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O; ΔH = -5500 kJ/mol.
