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

Determine whether the following hydroxide ion concentrations ([OH−]) correspond to acidic, basic, or neutral solutions by estima
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

To do this, we will use the following expression to calculate the [H⁺]:

[H⁺] = Kw / [OH⁻]

[H⁺] is the same as [H₃O⁺]. So we have the [OH⁻] so, let's replace every value into the above expression to calculate the hydronium concentration and say if it's acidic, basic or neutral. This can be known because if the [H⁺] > 1x10⁻⁷ M the solution is acidic. If it's [H⁺] < 1x10⁻⁷ M the solution is basic, and if it's [H⁺] = 1x10⁻⁷ M the solution is neutral.

a) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 6x10⁻¹² = 1.67x10⁻³ M. Acidic.

b) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 9x10⁻⁹ = 1.11x10⁻⁶ M. Acidic.

c) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 8x10⁻¹⁰ = 1.25x10⁻⁵ M. Acidic.

d) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 7x10⁻¹³ = 0.0143 M. Acidic.

e) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 2x10⁻² = 5x10⁻¹³ M. Basic.

f) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 9x10⁻⁴ = 1.11x10⁻¹¹ M. Basic.

g) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 5x10⁻⁵ = 2x10⁻¹⁰ M. Basic.

h) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 1x10⁻⁷ = 1x10⁻⁷ M. Neutral.

Part B.

In this part, we'll use the following expression and replace the given values:

[OH⁻] = Kw / [H⁺]

Replacing the values:

[OH⁻] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 5.2x10⁻⁵

[OH⁻] = 1.92x10⁻¹⁰ M

PArt C:

In this case, we will use expression of part A, and replace the given values:

[H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 2.7x10⁻²

[H⁺] = 3.7x10⁻¹³ M
