<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.

vodka [1.7K]

The   number  of grams of  radon 222 did it have 15.2  ago was  49.6 grams( answer  C)

 <u>calculation</u>

  • calculate the number of half life it has covered    from   15.2  days to 3.8 days

             that is  divide 15.2/ 3.8 = 4 half life

  •  half  life is time taken for a radio activity  of a specified isotope to fall to half its original mass

therefore  3.8 days ago  it was  3.1 x2 =  6.2 grams

                  7.6 days ago  it was 6.2 x2 = 12.4 grams

                   11.4  days  ago it was 12.4  x2=  24.8  grams

                  15.2  days  ago  it was  24.8 x2=49.6 grams

). The molar mass of an organic acid, a compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, is 194.14 g/mol. Combustion of a 1.50
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The empirical formula is C₆H₁₀O₇.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculate the masses of C, H, and O from the masses given.

Mass of C =  2.0402 g CO₂ × (12.01 g C/44.01 g CO₂) = 0.5568  g C

Mass of H = 0.6955 g H₂O  × (2.016 H/18.02 g H₂O)  = 0.077 81 g H

Mass of O = Mass of compound - Mass of C - Mass of H = (1.500 – 0.5568 – 0.077 81) g = 0.8654 g O

=====

2. Convert these masses to moles.

Moles  C = 0.5568  × 1/12.01  = 0.046 36

Moles H = 0.077 81 × 1/1.008 = 0.077 19

Moles O = 0.8654   × 1/16.00 = 0.054 09

=====

3. Find the molar ratios.

Moles  C = 0.046 36/0.046 36 = 1

Moles H = 0.077 19/0.046 36   = 1.665

Moles O = 0.054 09/0.046 36 = 1.167

======

4. Multiply the ratios by a number to make them close to integers

C  = 1        × 6 = 6

H = 1.665 × 6 = 9.991

O = 1.167 × 6  = 7.001

=====

5. Round the ratios to integers

C:H:O =6:10:7

=====

6. Write the empirical formula

The empirical formula is C₆H₁₀O₇.

=======

7. Calculate the empirical formula mass

C₆H₁₀O₇ = 6×12.01 + 10×1.008 + 7×16.00

C₆H₁₀O₇ = 72.01 + 10.08+ 112.0

C₆H₁₀O₇ = 194.09

=====

8. Divide the molecular mass by the empirical formula mass.  

MM/EFM = 194.14/194.09 = 1.000 ≈ 1

=====

9. Determine the molecular formula

MF = (EF)ₙ = (C₆H₁₀O₇)₁ = C₆H₁₀O₇

Which phrase best describes the bond in H2?
Gala2k [10]

Answer and Explanation:

Two hydrogen atoms, each containing one electron, approach each other in the formation of a molecule of hydrogen. Each atom needs a total of two electrons to fill their outermost energy level and make them stable. The best choice is to share their single electrons. Hence, a pair of bonding electrons is shared between the hydrogen atoms in the molecules.

This constitutes a single covalent bond. Hence, the correct option is B)
