The oxidation number of iodine is 5 in Mg(IO3)2 which can be calculated as
Mg(IO3)2
MgI2O6
As we know that
Mg has +2
O has -2
So,
(+2) + 2I + 6 (-2)=0
2 + 2I - 12 =0
10+ 2I =0
10 = 2I
I =5
You are beautiful just like me trust me i know<span />
The reaction between the magnesium, Mg, and the hydrochloric acid, HCl is given in the equation below,
Mg + 2HCl --> H2 + MgCl2
The number of moles of HCl that is needed for the reaction is calculated below.
n = (0.4681 g Mg)(1 mol Mg/24.305 g Mg)(2 mol HCl/1 mol Mg)
n = 0.0385 mols HCl
From the given concentration, we calculate for the required volume.
V = 0.0385 mols HCl/(0.650 mols/L)
V = 0.05926 L or 59.26 mL
<em>Answer: 59.26 mL of HCl</em>
C. Sulfuric acid is a strong oxidizing agent.
