The amount of moles in 3.34 x10³⁴ formula unit of Cu(OH)₂ is 5.55 × 10¹⁰ moles

calculation

The amount of moles is calculated using the Avogadro's law constant

That is 1 moles = 6.02 × 10²³ formula units

? moles = 3.34 × 10³⁴ formula units

by cross multiplication

= {1 mole ×3.34 ×10³⁴ formula units ] / 6.02 × 10²³ formula units} = 5.55 ×10¹⁰ moles

Write the oxidation and reduction half reactions;

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

$Fe^{2+}$ ⇒ $Fe^{3+}+e^-$

$Br_2+2e^-$ ⇒ $2Br^-$

$Mg$ ⇒ $Mg^{2+}+2e^-$

$Cr^{3+}+e^-$ ⇒ $Cr^{3+}$

Explanation:

Remember that positive number superscripts mean electrons lack and negative numbers mean electrons 'excess' (if we compare it with the neutral element). So, for the case of Fe2+ which is converted to Fe3+, we know that in Fe2+ there is a two electrons lack, while in Fe3+ there is a 3 electrons lack; it means that Fe2+ was converted to Fe3+ but releasing one electron:

$Fe^{2+}$ ⇒ $Fe^{3+}+e^-$

The same analysis is applied to Br2; Br2 is a molecule which is said to have a zero superscript because it is an apolar covalent bond; and it is converted to Br-, which, according to what I wrote above, means that there is a one electron excess. So, Br2 must have received an electron in order to change to Br-; but Br2 can't change to Br- as simple as that because Br2 is a molecule, not an atom; it is a molecule that has two Br atoms, so, Br2 must give two Br- ions as products, but receiving one electron for each one:

$Br_2+2e^-$ ⇒ $2Br^-$

Applying the same, in Mg2+ there is a 2 electrons lack, and in Mg is not electron lack (its superscript is zero), so Mg must have released two electrons in order to change to Mg2+:

$Mg$ ⇒ $Mg^{2+}+2e^-$

Cr3+ has a 3 electrons lack, and Cr2+ a two electrons one, so, Cr3+ must receive an electron to convert to Cr2+:

$Cr^{3+}+e^-$ ⇒ $Cr^{3+}$

Zinc phosphide, Zn3P2, is often used as a rat poison. Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. How many valence electrons does each z

Helen [10]

The choices that should have accompanied this question were:
A. 1
B. 2 
C. 3 
D. 4

My answer is B. 2.
Below is an explanation, I found while doing the research.

Phosphate needs 3 electrons each totaling 6 electrons so each zinc will need to give up 2 electrons.

Phosphate wants to imitate the electron configuration of Argon because noble configurations are the most stable. With P getting the extra electrons the valence shell will be 3s2 3p6, which is the same as Argon. Without the extra electrons, the P valence shell looks like this 3s2 3p3, now you can see why each phosphorus wants 3 more electrons, that will make it 3s2 3p6, just like Argon.
