55. What is total no of shared electrons in ethane?

Which substance is the oxidizing agent in the following reaction? Fe2S3 + 12HNO3 → 2Fe(NO3)3 + 3S + 6NO2 + 6H2O Which substance

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

HNO3 is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

Step 1:

The oxidizing agent is responsible to oxidize another. but itself undergoes a reduction .

Fe2S3:

Fe has an oxidation number of +3

S has an oxidation number of -2

HNO3:

O has an oxidation number of -2 ( we have 3 times O so this makes -6)

H has an oxidation number of +1

N has an oxidation number of +5

Fe(NO3)3

O has an oxidation number of -2 ( we have 3 times O so this makes -6)

Fe has an oxidation number of +3

Since NO3 has an oxidation number of -1; N has an oxidation number of +5

S alone has an oxidation number of 0

NO2:

O has an oxidation number of -2 (we have 2 times O, this makes -4)

N has an oxidation number of +4

Fe doesn't change from oxidation number. It stays +3

N goes from +5 to +4 → this is a reduction

S goes from -2 to 0 → this is an oxidation

The reducing agent is the compound that contributes the oxidized species (S).

The oxidizing agent contributes the reducing species (N)

The answer is HNO3

Another chem question I need help with (multiple choice)

Andreyy89

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter B, 2-methylhexane.

Explanation:

Remember that for naming organic compounds first, we need to look for the largest chain of carbons.

In your example, the largest chain is horizontal and has 6 carbons.

Later, we need to circle all the branches, in your example there is only one branch located close to the left side

After that, we number the carbons of the main chain, starting in the corner with more branches, in your example we start from the first carbon on the left.

Finally, start naming the number of the carbon branch, later hte name of the branch and finally the name of the main chain.

How does the arrangement of elements in periods relate to electron configuration

VashaNatasha [74]

Electronic Configuration of elements in a period is same because If you see the electronic Configuration of elements in a period you will notice that the valence shell electrons for all elements are present in the same Shell. For example, in first period consisting of Hydrogen and Helium, both the elements' valence electrons are present in the same Shell.
Electronic Configuration of Hydrogen,
1s^1
Electronic Configuration of Helium,
1s^2

Both elements' valance electrons are present in the 1st shell

(This is just a small example to understand the concept because other periods are long but the first period is short that's why I gave the example of the first period)

Please help I really appreciate it thank you ❤️

II. sulfur (S) and carbon (C)

and

III. fluorine (F) and oxygen (O)

will form covalent bonds, so the answer will be:

e. II and III

Explanation:

To know is what type of bond is formed between atoms we need to look at the electronegativity difference between the atoms.

If the electronegativity difference is less than 0.4 there is a nonpolar covalent bond.

If the electronegativity difference is between 0.4 and 1.8 there is a polar covalent bond. (if is a metal involved we consider the bond to be ionic)

If the electronegativity difference is greater then 1.8 there is an ionic bond.

We have the following cases:

I. lithium (Li) and sulfur (S)

electronegativity difference = 2.5 (S) - 1 (Li) = 1.5 but because there is a metal involved the bond will be ionic

II. sulfur (S) and carbon (C)

electronegativity difference = 2.5 (S) - 2.5 (C) = 0 so the bond will be nonpolar covalent

III. fluorine (F) and oxygen (O)

electronegativity difference = 4 (F) - 3.5 (O) = 0.5 so the bond will be polar covalent bond.
