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.

Scoring Scheme: 3-3-2-1 Part I. How many mL of 6 M NaOH stock solution should be used to prepare the 500 mL of 0.2 M NaOH? Pleas
Orlov [11]

Answer : The volume of 6M NaOH stock solution is, 16.7 mL

Explanation :

To calculate the volume of NaOH stock solution, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where,

M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the molarity and volume of NaOH stock solution.

M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the molarity and volume of NaOH.

We are given:

M_1=6M\\V_1=?\\M_2=0.2M\\V_2=500mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

6M\times V_1=0.2M\times 500mL\\\\V_1=16.7mL

Thus, the volume of 6M NaOH stock solution is, 16.7 mL
