<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.

A 2.36-gram sample of NaHCO3 was completely decomposed in an experiment.
enyata [817]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) The mass of the reactants is 2.36 grams, and the mass of the products is 1.57 grams plus the mass of the carbonic acid. Thus, using the law of conservation of mass, we get the mass of the carbonic acid is 2.36 - 1.57 =  0.79 grams.

b) The gram-formula mass of sodium bicarbonate is 84.006 g/mol, meaning that 2.36/84.006 = 0.028 moles were consumed. Thus, this means that in theory, 0.014 moles of carbonic acid should have been produced, which would have a mass of (0.014)(62.024)=0.868 grams. Thus, the percentage yield is (0.79)/(0.868) * 100 = 91%

Which of the following processes would you predict to have an increase in entropy?
Anna [14]
C. Melting ice. 
It is C because melting ice is a change of state from solid to liquid which requires an addition of energy(or entropy) into the system.
Condensation of water occurs from a gas to a liquid state, which takes energy out of the system(water) and gives it to the surroundings(air around it). Freezing water is the same as condensation except for the state change. Deposition is simply gas to a solid instantaneously so you can again see it as with the other two examples.

Explain how acid–base indicators can be used to determine the approximate pH of a substance.
mezya [45]
PH stands for potential hydrogen.
pH can be accurately tested using acid-based indicators since it is a part of the pH of something itself. (acid and bases) The indicators themselves work when the acidic properties of the indicator begins to dissolve and form ions which gives the color indicating the pH.

Calculate each of the following quantities:<br> (a) Total number of ions in 38.1 g of SrF₂
adelina 88 [10]

The total number of ions in 38.1 g of SrF₂ is 5.479 x 10²³.

<h3>What are ions?</h3>

Ions are the elements with a charge on them. It happens when they share electrons with other atoms to form a compound.

We have to calculate the total number of ions in 38.1 g of .

The molar mass of SrF₂ = 125.62 g/mol

The number of moles = 38.1 g of  1.0 mol / 125.62  = 0.30329 moles

Given that, total moles of SrF₂ ions in  = 1.0 mol of + 2.0 moles of  = 3.0 moles

Total moles of ions in 0.30329 moles of

= (0.30329 moles of SrF₂) x 3.0 / 1.0  = 0.90988 mol ions

We know that,

1.0 mole of ions = 6.023 x 10²³ ions

Thus, the number of total ions = ( 0.90988 mol ions) x  6.023 x 10²³ / 1.0 mol = 5.479 x 10²³ ions

Thus, the number of ions is in 38.1 g of 5.479 x 10²³ ions
