Determine the oxidation states of the elements in the compounds listed. None of the oxygen-containing compounds are peroxides or

Ahat [919]

Answer :

Oxidation number or oxidation state : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers are :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.
The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.
The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.
The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2.
The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.
The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.
The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

Now we have to determine the oxidation state of the elements in the compound.

(a) $H_2SO_4$

Let the oxidation state of 'S' be, 'x'

$2(+1)+x+4(-2)=0\\\\x=+6$

Hence, the oxidation state of 'S' is, (+6)

(b) $Ca(OH)_2$

Let the oxidation state of 'Ca' be, 'x'

$x+2(-2+1)=0\\\\x=+2$

Hence, the oxidation state of 'Ca' is, (+2)

(c) $BrOH$

Let the oxidation state of 'Br' be, 'x'

$x+(-2)+1=0\\\\x=+1$

Hence, the oxidation state of 'Br' is, (+1)

(d) $ClNO_2$

Let the oxidation state of 'N' be, 'x'

$-1+x+2(-2)=0\\\\x=+5$

Hence, the oxidation state of 'N' is, (+5)

(e) $TiCl_4$

Let the oxidation state of 'Ti' be, 'x'

$x+4(-1)=0\\\\x=+4$

Hence, the oxidation state of 'Ti' is, (+4)

(f) $NaH$

Let the oxidation state of 'Na' be, 'x'

$x+(-1)=0\\\\x=+1$

Hence, the oxidation state of 'Na' is, (+1)

Do you<br> think a colony on Mars should be nearer the northern or southern<br> polar cap? Explain.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:Hola TvT

Explanation:When the Martian polar caps were first viewed through telescopes, most scientists believed that they were made of water ice, like the polar caps on Earth. Like Earth, Mars has a North and South Pole. But while Earth's polar ice caps consist solely of water ice, Mars' polar caps are a combination of water ice and carbon dioxide ice. As the Martian seasons change, the carbon dioxide ice sublimates (vaporizes) in summer, revealing the surface, and freezes again in winter. As fall approaches, in each respective hemisphere, clouds begin to form over the polar region and the ice cap begins to grow. In spring, the polar caps recede...........Aside from ice, Mars' polar regions have some interesting geologic features. The north polar dune field is a vast concentration of sand dunes that stretches around the entire north polar cap. In some areas, the sand measures up to 500 km (300 miles) across. When the dunes begin to thaw in spring, dark spots form on their surfaces. The north polar dunes were first seen during the 1972 mapping of Mars by Mariner 9, and they are identical to dunes in Earth's desert regions..

What volume will water vapor form when 40 liters of hydrogen completely reacts with 25 liters of oxygen? Assume the temperature

Brut [27]

2H2 + O2 ---->2H2O
number of moles in reaction 2 mol 1 mol 2 mol
number of liters in the reaction 2*22.4 L 1*22.4 L 2*22.4L
We can see that volumes of the gases are proportional to coefficients in the reaction ( if gases are under the same conditions), so we can write

2H2 + O2 ---->2H2O
2 L 1 L 2 L
given 40 L ( 25 L) 40 L

We can see that we have excess of O2,
because if 2 L H2 are needed 1 L O2, then 40 L of H2 are needed 20 L O2.

So, limiting reactant is H2, and we will need to calculate Volume of H2O using H2.
2L H2 give 2L H2O(gas), so 40 L H2 give 40 L H2O.
