Answer:

a.  x = + 2

b.  x = + 3

c.  x = + 2

d.  x = + 3

Explanation:

The oxidation number is a formal charge assigned to an atom present in a molecule or formula unit or ion based on some arbitrary rules.

a.

<u>Hg</u>O

The oxidation number of Hg in HgO is:

x + (-2) = 0

x = +2

b.

<u>Al₄</u>C₃

The oxidation number of Al in Al<u>₄</u>C₃ is:

4x +(3 × -4) = 0

4x - 12 = 0

4x = +12

x = 12/4

x = +3

c. CrF₂

x + ( 2 × - 1) = 0

x - 2 = 0

x = + 2

d. Fe₂S₃

2x + ( 3 × - 2) = 0

2x + (-6) = 0

2x = 6

x = 6/2

x = +3

When 1.95 g of co(no3)2 is dissolved in 0.350 l of 0.220 m koh, what are [ co2+], [ co(oh)42−], and [ oh−] if kf of co(oh)42− =
Airida [17]
Mass of Co(NO₃)₂ = 1.95 g
V KOH = 0.350 L
[KOH] = 0.220 M
Kf = 5.0 x 10⁹
molar mass of Co(NO₃)₂ = 182.943 g/mol
so [Co(NO₃)₂] = 1.95 / (0.350 * 182.943) = 0.03045 M
[Co²⁺] = 0.03045 M
[OH⁻] = 0.22 M
chemical reaction:
             Co²⁺(aq) + 4 OH⁻    ⇄      Co(OH)₄²⁻
I (M)      0.03045      0.22                   0
C (M)   - 0.03045   - 4 (0.03045)      0.03045
E (M)       - x         0.22 - 4(0.03045)   0.03045
                              = 0.0982
Kf  = [Co(OH)₄²⁻] / [Co⁺²][OH⁻]⁴
5.0 x 10⁹ = (0.03045) / x (0.0982)⁴
x = 6.5489 x 10⁻⁸
at equilibrium:
[Co²⁺] = 6.54 x 10⁻⁸
[OH⁻] = 0.0982 M
[Co(OH)₄²⁻] = 0.03045 M
