Answer:
No 1 is fission
while no 2 is fusion
Fission is splitting on nucleus while fusion is forming heavier nucleus with nuclei
15.63 mol. You need 15.63 mol HgO to produce 250.0 g O_2.
<em>Step 1</em>. Convert <em>grams of O_2 to moles of O_2</em>
Moles of O_2 = 250.0 g O_2 × (1 mol O_2/32.00 g O_2) = 7.8125 mol O_2
<em>Step 2</em>. Use the molar ratio of HgO:O_2 to convert <em>moles of O_2 to moles of HgO
</em>
Moles of HgO = 0.8885 mol O_2 × (2 mol HgO/1 mol O_2) = <em>15.63 mol HgO</em>
You have to calculate the oxidation estates of the atoms in each compound.
I will start with K2Cr2O7 because I believe that Cr is the best candidate to reduce its oxidation number in 3 units.
In K2Cr2O7:
- K has oxidation state of 1+, then K2 has a charge of 2* (1+) = 2+.
- O has oxidation state of 2*, then O7 has a charge of 7* (2-) = 14-.
That makes that Cr2 has charge of 14 - 2 = +12, so each Cr has +12/2 = +6 oxidation state.
In Cr2O3:
- O has oxidation state of 2-, then O3 has charge 3 * (2-) = - 6
- Then, Cr2 has charge 6+, and each Cr has charge 6+ / 2 = 3+.
So, we have seen that Cr reduced its oxidation state in 3 units, from 6+ to 3+.
Answer: Cr has a change in oxidation number of - 3.
