Answer:

1.06 atm

Explanation:

We are given the following variables to work with:

Initial pressure (P1): unknown

Initial temperature (T1): 348 K

Final temperature (T2): 506 K

Final pressure (P2): 1.55 atm

We are asked to find the initial pressure (P1). We want to choose a gas law equation that relates initial pressure and temperature to final pressure and temperature. Gay-Lussac's law does this:

\frac{P_{1}}{T_1} =\frac{P_{2}}{T_2} \\

We can rearrange the law algebraically to solve for P_{1}.

{P_{1}} =\frac{(T_1)(P_{2} )}{T_2} \\

Substitute your known variables and solve:

{P_{1}} =\frac{(348 K)(1.55 atm )}{506 K} \\ = 1.06 atm

How is the oxidation state of a transition metal determined from the chemical formula ?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.

We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.

The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.

To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:

  • The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
  • The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to  the charge on the ion.

For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻

This would be:  2x + 7(-2) = -2

                          x = +6

We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.

For the chemical reaction , I identify the reactant and the products .
svetlana [45]

The reactant is Mercury (II) Oxide while the products are Mercury and Oxygen separately.

This is because the reactants are typically always on the left side of the yields symbol. In this decomposition reaction, it would still be the same as at the end of the reaction, there were to products produced: Mercury and Oxygen.

Products tend to always be on the right side of the yields symbol, they're what comes out of a reaction no matter what type.

Hope this helps!

URGENT!!!What volume of a 0.88 M solution can be made using 130. Grams of FeCI^2?
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

1.16L can be made

Explanation:

Molarity = Mol / Volume

Volume = Mol / Molarity

Let's determine the moles of salt, with that mass:

130 g FeCl₂ . 1mol / 126.75 g = 1.02 moles of FeCl₂

Volume = 1.02 mol / 0.88 mol/L → 1.16L
