Answer:

Oxidation number: 3+

Coordination number: 4

Explanation:

<em>In the compound K[Co(C₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂] (where C₂O₄²⁻ = oxalate) the oxidation number and coordination number of Cobalt are, respectively?</em>

<em />

The sum of the oxidation numbers and charges of the species forming the complex is equal to the overall charge, in this case, zero.

K + Co + 2 . C₂O₄²⁻ + 2 . H₂O = 0

+1 + Co + 2 . (2-) + 2 . 0 = 0

Co = 3+

The coordination number is the number of ligands attached to the central atom. 2 oxalates and 2 water molecules are attached to the cobalt atom, so the coordination number is 2 +2 = 4.

Let's Assign Symbols to molecules like,

                    C₂O₄  =  X
and 
                    H₂O   =  Y
Then,
                                K [ Co (X)₂ (Y)₂ ]

As, Potassium (K) has a O.N  =  +1

To neutralize, the coordination sphere must have -1 oxidation number.
So,
                                    [ Co (X)₂ (Y)₂ ]  =  -1
As,
           O.N of X  = -2
Then 
       O.N of (X)₂  =  -4

Also,
O.N of H₂O is zero as it is neutral, So,

                                    [Co - 4 + 0 ]  =  -1
Or,
                                    Co  =  -1 + 4

                                    Co  =  +3

Result:
          Oxidation Number of Coordination Sphere is -1 and Oxidation Number of Cu is +3.

What is mole-to-mole stoichiometry.
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

https://youtu.be/3zmeVamEsWI

Explanation:

It is defined as the ratio of moles of one substance to the moles of another substance in a balanced equation. ... Mole ratios are the central step in performing stoichiometry because they allow us to convert moles of one substance to moles of another substance.

Which of these electron transitions correspond to absorption of energy and which to emission?
Keith_Richards [23]

The electron transitions representing absorption of energy are:

(a) n = 2 to n = 4

(d) n = 3 to n = 4

and those which represents emissions of energy are:

(b) n = 3 to n = 1

(c) n = 5 to n = 2

An electron emits energy when it jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level transitions.

An electron absorbs energy to jump from a lower energy level to a higher energy level transitions.

(a) n = 2 to n = 4

Here, the initial level (2) is lower than the final level (4).

Hence energy is absorbed.

(b) n = 3 to n = 1

Here, the initial level (3) is higher than the final level (1).

Hence energy is released.

(c) n = 5 to n = 2

Here, the initial level (5) is higher than the final level (2).

Hence energy is released.

(d) n = 3 to n = 4

Here, the initial level (3) is lower than the final level (4).

Hence energy is absorbed.

Magnesium oxide (MgO) forms when the metal burns in air. (a) If 1-25 9 of MgO contains 0.754 g of Mg, what is the mass ratio of
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

1.25 g MgO contains .754 g of Mg .Rest will be O

so oxide = 1.25 - .754 = 0.496 g

ratio of magnesium to oxide = .754/.496 = 1.52

b) 1.25 g of MgO contains .754 g of Mg

534 g of MgO contains .754 x 534 / 1.25 g = 322.11 g
