Answer : The oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0).

Explanation :

Oxidation number or oxidation state : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers are :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

The given chemical reaction is:

$Mg(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)+H_2(g)$

In the given reaction, the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0) because it is a free element and the oxidation state of Mg in $Mg(OH)_2$ is (+2).

Hence, the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0).

At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure chloroform (CHCl3) is measured to be 91. torr. Suppose a solution is prepare

OleMash [197]

Answer:

$P_{CCl_4}=52.43torr$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, sine the solution of this problem require the application of the Raoult's law, assuming heptane is a nonvolatile solute, so we can write:

$P_{CCl_4}=x_{CCl_4}P_{CCl_4}^{vap}$

Thus, we first calculate the mole fraction of chloroform, by using the given masses and molar masses as shown below:

$x_{CCl_4}=\frac{140/153.81}{140/153.81+67.1/100.21}=0.576$

Therefore, the partial pressure of chloroform turns out to be:

$P_{CCl_4}=0.576*91torr\\\\P_{CCl_4}=52.43torr$

Regards!

Duncan takes a break from studying and goes to the gym to swim laps If swimming burns amount of time ? 85 * 10 ^ 5 cal per hour

Volgvan

When 6.85×10⁵ cal is converted to kilojoules, the result obtained is 2866.04 KJ

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>

Energy (cal) = 6.85×10⁵ cal
Energy (KJ) =?

<h3>Conversion scale </h3>

1 cal = 0.004184 KJ

<h3>How to convert 6.85×10⁵ cal to kilojoules</h3>

1 cal = 0.004184 KJ

Therefore,

6.85×10⁵ cal = 6.85×10⁵ × 0.004184

6.85×10⁵ cal = 2866.04 KJ

Thus, 6.85×10⁵ cal is equivalent to 2866.04 KJ
