Give the oxidation state of the metal species in each complex. ru(cn)(co)4 -

kogti [31]

The given complex ion is as follow,

[Ru (CN) (CO)₄]⁻

Where;
[ ] = Coordination Sphere

Ru = Central Metal Atom = Ruthenium

CN = Cyanide Ligand

CO = Carbonyl Ligand

The charge on Ru is calculated as follow,

Ru + (CN) + (CO)₄ = -1
Where;
-1 = overall charge on sphere

0 = Charge on neutral CO

-1 = Charge on CN

So, Putting values,

Ru + (-1) + (0)₄ = -1

Ru - 1 + 0 = -1

Ru - 1 = -1

Ru = -1 + 1

Ru = 0
Result:
Oxidation state of the metal species in each complex [Ru(CN)(CO)₄]⁻ is zero.

How many moles of hydrogen gas will be produced if 5.00 moles of zinc reactions with an excess amount of sulfuric acid

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Moles of Hydrogen produced is 5 moles

Explanation:

The balanced Chemical equation for reaction between zinc and sulfuric acid is :

$Zn(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)$

This equation tells that ; when 1 mole of Zn react with 1 mole of sulfuric acid, it produces 1 mole of zinc sulfate and 1 mole of hydrogen.

Since sulfuric acid is in excess so Zinc is the limiting reagent

(Limiting reagent : Substance which get consumed when the reaction completes, limiting reagent helps in predicting the amount of products formed)

Limiting reagent (Zn) will decide the amount of Hydrogen produced

$Zn(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)$

$1\ mole\ zinc\rightarrow 1\ mole\ H_{2}$
