Sophie [7]3 years ago

<span>Reaction: CI2 + H2O    ---->  HCIO + HCI

Oxidations states:

The oxitation state of Cl2 = 0, because the oxidation state of an atom alone or a molucule with one kind of atom is always 0.

The oxidation state of Cl in HClO is +1 because the oxidation state of H is + 1, the oxidation state of O is - 2, and the molecule is neutral, so  +1 + 1 - 2 = 0

The oxidation state of Cl in HCl is - 1, because the oxidation state of H is +1 and the molecule is neutral, so - 1 + 1 = 0.

Also, you shall remember that when an atom increases its oxidation state is is oxidized and when an atoms reduces its oxidations state it is reduced.

With that you conclude that the right option is the last statement: </span>Cl has an oxidation number of 0 in Cl2. It is then reduced to CI- with an oxidation number of –1 in HCl and is oxidized to Cl+ with an oxidation number +1 in HClO.

Why does water have a lopsided shape and act like a chemical magnet?
leva [86]

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Shape

The formula for water is H-O-H.

The central O atom has four electron pairs around it. They try to get as far from each other as possible, so they point toward the corners of a tetrahedron.

Only two of the pairs have a hydrogen atom attached, so water has a bent shape. The H-O-H bond angle is about 104°.

(b) Chemical magnet

The O atom has a greater attraction than H for the shared electrons in the O-H bonds, so the electrons spend more time near the O.

This gives the O atom a partial negative charge (pink in the diagram) and the H atoms a partial positive charge (blue).

The water molecule acts like a chemical magnet because its negative end attracts the positive ends of other molecules, while its positive ends attract the negative ends of other molecules.

Contrast a plant cell with an animal cell. How can you tell them apart
nlexa [21]
The main differences between a plant cell and animal cells is that plant cells have more of a rectangular shape because the cell wall is more rigid. While animal cells have more of a circular or irregular shape because they don't have a cell wall. Plant cells usually have one or more large vacuoles, while animal cells have smaller vacuoles if any are present.

Calculate how many moles of NH3 form when each quantity of reactant completely reacts according to the equation:
Leya [2.2K]
<span>1) Use the balanced chemical equation to find the molar ratios (proportions) of each product and reactant.

3N2H4(l)→4NH3(g)+N2(g)

=> molar ratios: 3 mol N2H4 : 4 mol NH3

2) Use the product to reactant molar ratio, and the quantity of reactant to determine the yield:

2.0 mol N2H4 * [4mol NH3] / [3mol N2H4] = 2*4/3 mol NH3 = 2.7 mol NH3

Answer: 2.7 mol

Use a sheet of paper to answer the following question. Take a picture of your answers and attach to this assignment. Predict the
romanna [79]

Answer:1-methoxy-2,4-dinitrobenzene

Explanation:

The nitro groups are strongly electron withdrawing and promote nucleophilic substitution reactions where one of the original substituents is removed and replaced by a strong nucleophile such as the methoxy group. The mechanism of the reaction is attached below. The electron withdrawing nitrogroup assists the formation of the intermediate in the reaction as shown.
