The oxidation state of the Ru metal in the complex {\left[{{\text{Ru}}\left({{\text{CN}}}\right){{\left({{\text{CO}}}\right)}_4}}\right]^-} is \boxed{{\text{zero}}} .

Further explanation:

Oxidation number:

The oxidation number is used to represent the formal charge on an atom. It also shows that gain or loss of electrons by the atom. Oxidation number can be a positive or negative number but cannot be fractional.

The rules to identify the oxidation state:

(1) The oxidation state of an atom in the elemental form is zero.

(2) The total charge on the species is equal to the sum of the oxidation state of individual atoms.

(3) The oxidation state of halides is -1. For example, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine have -1 oxidation state.

(4)Hydrogen has a +1 oxidation state.

(5) Oxygen has an oxidation state -2.

(6) In a coordination compound, neutral ligands have zero oxidation state and negative ligands such as CN have -1 oxidation.

The given compound is {\left[{{\text{Ru}}\left({{\text{CN}}}\right){{\left({{\text{CO}}}\right)}_4}}\right]^-}

Here, CN is a negative ligand thus oxidation state is -1 and CO is a neutral ligand thus it has 0 oxidation state. Also, the complex has -1 negative charge.

The expression to calculate the oxidation state in {\left[{{\text{Ru}}\left({{\text{CN}}}\right){{\left({{\text{CO}}}\right)}_4}}\right]^-} is,

\left[{\left({{\text{oxidation state of Ru}}}\right)+\left({{\text{oxidation state of CN}}}\right)+4\left({{\text{oxidation state of CO}}}\right)}\right]=-1

…… (1)

Rearrange equation (1) for the oxidation state of Ru.

{\text{Oxidation state of Ru}}=\left[{-\left({{\text{oxidation state of CN}}}\right)-4\left({{\text{oxidation state of CO}}}\right)-1}\right]

…… (2)  

Substitute -1for the oxidation {\text{state}}  of CN and 0 for the oxidation state of CO in equation (2).

\begin{aligned}{\text{Oxidation state of Ru}}&=\left[{-\left({-{\text{1}}}\right)-4\left({\text{0}}\right)-1}\right]\\&=0\\\end{aligned}

The oxidation state of Ru is zero.

The given complex ion is as follow,

                                              [Ru (CN) (CO)₄]⁻

Where;
            [ ]  =  Coordination Sphere

            Ru  =  Central Metal Atom  =  <span>Ruthenium

            CN  =  Cyanide Ligand

            CO  =  Carbonyl Ligand

The charge on Ru is calculated as follow,

                               Ru + (CN) + (CO)</span>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:
          <span>Oxidation state of the metal species in each complex [Ru(CN)(CO)</span>₄]⁻ is zero.

a 108ml sampl of gas has a mass of 77.96mg at a pressure of 1140mmhg and temperature of 183°c .what is the molar mass of the gas
madam [21]

Answer:

146.85 g/mol

Explanation:

PV=nRT

n=mass/molar mass

covert from mmhg to atm = 0.184 atm

convert from ml to L= 0.108 L

convert from degree C to K= 456.15 K

convert from mg to g= 0.07796g

then rearrange the formula:

n=PV/RT

=(0.184)(0.108)/(0.08206)(456.15)

n= 5.308*10^(-4)

rearrange the n formula interms of molar mass:

Molar mass= mass/n

=0.07796/(5.308*10^-4)

molar mass= 146.85g/mol

In a chemical equation, changing the subscript in a chemical formula for a substance changes what aspect?
Citrus2011 [14]
The subscript in a chemical formula is the number written next to the element at the bottom part. For example, the chemical formula of water is H₂O. The subscript of H is 2, while the subscript of O is 1. The subscript represents the number of a certain element in one particle of the compound. So, if you change the subscript, you also change the number of a certain element per compound. In other words, you change the ratio.
