Answer:
Explanation:
1. Solubility of CaF_2
(a) Molar solubility
CaF₂ ⇌ Ca²⁺ + 2F⁻
(b) Mass solubility
2. pH
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log(3.0 × 10⁻⁴) = 3.52
3. Oxidizing and reducing agents
Zn + Cl₂ ⟶ ZnCl₂
The oxidation number of Cl has decreased from 0 to -1.
Cl has been reduced, so Cl is the oxidizing agent.
4. Oxidation numbers
(a) Al₂O₃
1O = -2; 3O = -6; 2Al = +6; 1Al = +3
(b) XeF₄
1F = -1; 4F = -4; 1 Xe = +4
(c) K₂Cr₂O₇
1K = +1; 2K = +2; 1O = -2; 7O = -14
+2 - 14 = -12
2Cr = + 12; 1 Cr = +6
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
In this case, let's see both molecules per separate:
In the case of SeO₂ the central atom would be the Se. The Se has oxidation states of 2+, and 4+. In this molecule it's working with the 4+, while oxygen is working with the 2- state. Now, how do we know that Se is working with that state?, simply, let's do an equation for it. We know that this molecule has a formal charge of 0, so:
Se = x
O = -2
x + (-2)*2 = 0
x - 4 = 0
x = +4.
Therefore, Selenium is working with +4 state, the only way to bond this molecule is with a covalent bond, and in the case of the oxygen will be with double bond. See picture below.
In the case of CO₂ happens something similar. Carbon is working with +4 state, so in order to stabilize the charges, it has to be bonded with double bonds with both oxygens. The picture below shows.
