Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
The new temperature will be equal to 4 K.
<h2>
Why?</h2>
We are given the volume, the first temperature and the new volume after the gas is compressed. To calculate the new temperature after the gas was compressed, we need to use Charles's Law.
Charles's Law establishes a relationship between the volume and the temperature at a gas while its pressure is constant.
Now, to calculate the new temperature we need to assume that the pressure is kept constant, otherwise, the problem would not have a solution.
From Charle's Law, we have:
So, we are given the following information:
Then, isolating the new temperature and substituting the given information, we have:
Hence, the new temperature will be equal to 4 K.
Have a nice day!
Good luck with your assignment :)
First let's find out the oxidation number of Fe in K₄[Fe(CN)₆] compound.
The oxidation number of cation, K is +1. Hence, the total charge of the anion, [Fe(CN)₆] is -4. CN has charge has -1. There are 6 CN in anion. Let's assume the oxidation number of Fe is 'a'.
Sum of the oxidation numbers of each element = Charge of the compound
a + 6 x (-1) = -4
a -6 = -4
a = +2
Hence, oxidation number of Fe in [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ is +2.
Now Fe has the atomic number as 26. Hence, number of electrons in Fe at ground state is 26.
Electron configuration = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁶ 4s² = [Ar] 3d⁶ 4s²
When making Fe²⁺, Fe releases 2 electrons. Hence, the number of electrons in Fe²⁺ is 26 - 2 = 24.
Hence, the electron configuration of Fe²⁺ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁶
= [Ar] 3d⁶
Hence, the number of 3d electrons of Fe in K₄[Fe(CN)₆] compound is 6.
