Oxygen always has an oxidation number of -2 unless it is combined with fluorine or found in the compound peroxide. When in the c

Tpy6a [65]

When oxygen is found is peroxide, it has an oxidation number of -1.

The chemical formula of hydrogen peroxide is H2O2. We know that hydrogen always has +1 oxidation state until it forms metal hydrides. So in H2O2, the oxidation state ofhydrogen is +1.

Now, let oxidation state of oxygen be x. So,

2 * (+1) + 2*x = 0

2 + 2x = 0

2x = -2

x = -2 / 2

x = -1

Hence, the oxidation number of oxygen in peroxides is -1

Why is Jon Dalton’s discovery important to science? Help please

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Dalton expressed his assumption in A Modern Model of Chemical Theory that atoms of various elements should be uniformly differentiated, based on their differing atomic weights. In doing so, he became the first scientist to explain atom behavior as regards weight measurement.

Determine whether or not the mixing of each of the two solutions indicated below will result in a buffer.

WARRIOR [948]

Part A

75.0 mL of 0.10 M HF; 55.0 mL of 0.15 M NaF

This combination will form a buffer.

Explanation

Here, weak acid HF and its conjugate base F- is available in the solution

Part B

150.0 mL of 0.10 M HF; 135.0 mL of 0.175 M HCl

This combination cannot form a buffer.

Explanation

Here, moles of HF = 0.15 x 0.1 = 0.015 moles

Moles of HCl = 0.135 x 0.175 = 0.023

Since HCl is a strong acid and the number of HCl is higher than HF. This prevents the dissociation of HF and the conjugate base F- will not be available in the solution

Part C

165.0 mL of 0.10 M HF; 135.0 mL of 0.050 M KOH

This combination will form a buffer.

Explanation

Moles of HF = 0.165 x 0.1 = 0.0165 moles

Moles of KOH = 0.135 x 0.05 = 0.00675 moles

Moles of KOH is not sufficient for the complete neutralization of HF. Thus weak acid HF and its conjugate base F- is available in the solution and form a buffer

Part D

125.0 mL of 0.15 M CH3NH2; 120.0 mL of 0.25 M CH3NH3Cl

This combination will form a buffer

Explanation

Here, weak acid CH3NH3+ and its conjugate base CH3NH2 is available in the solution and form a buffer

Part E

105.0 mL of 0.15 M CH3NH2; 95.0 mL of 0.10 M HCl

This combination will form a buffer

Explanation

Moles of CH3NH2 = 0.105 x 0.15 = 0.01575 moles

Moles of HCl = 0.095 x 0.1 = 0.0095 moles

Thus the HCl completely reacts with CH3NH2 and converts a part of the CH3NH2 to CH3NH3+. This results weak acid CH3NH3+ and its conjugate base CH3NH2 is in the solution and form a buffer

A sample of substance X that has a mass of 326. 0 g releases 4325. 8 cal when it freezes at its freezing point. If substance X h

solmaris [256]

The molar heat of fusion of X has been 775.6 cal/mol. Thus, option C is correct.

The molar heat of fusion has been defined as the energy absorbed or released by a mole of substance in converting between solid and liquid state.

<h3>Computation for the molar heat of fusion</h3>

The given mass of substance X has been, 326 g.

The molar mass of substance X has been 58.45 g/mol.

The moles of sample have been given as:

$\rm Moles=\dfrac{Mass}{Molar\;mass}\\\\ Moles\;X=\dfrac{326\;g}{58.45\;g/mol}\\\\ Moles\;X=5.58\;mol$

Thus, the amount of heat absorbed by 5.58 mol of sample has been 4325.8 cal.

The amount of heat absorbed by a mole of sample has been:

$\rm 5.58\;mol=4325.8\;cal\\\\1\;mol=\dfrac{4325.8\;cal}{5.58\mol} \\\\1\;mol=775.6\;cal/mol$

The amount of heat absorbed by a mole of sample in meting has been the molar heat of fusion.

Thus, the molar heat of fusion of X has been 775.6 cal/mol. Thus, option C is correct.
