Oil is less dense than water, so the difference would be its density. Water is a good solvent, which means It can dissolve other substances.
Oxidation state of I is (-1) and for CO it is zero. Let's assume that the oxidation state of Fe in Fe(CO)₄I₂<span> (s) is x. For whole compound, the charge is zero.
Sum of oxidation numbers in all elements = Charge of the compound.
Here we have 1Fe , 4CO and 2I
hence we can find the oxidation state as;
x + 4*0 + 2*(-1) = 0
x + 0 - 2 = 0
x = +2
Hence the oxidation state of Fe in product </span>Fe(CO)₄I₂ (s) is +2.
Same as we can find the oxidation state (y) of Fe in Fe(CO)₅(s).
y + 5*0 = 0
y = 0
Since oxidation state of Fe increased from 0 to +2, the oxidized element is Fe in the given reaction.
It's 18 (the same as the number of protons:)
Yes, they can be separated by using a funnel. In the separating funnel, they are kept for resting. After they are separated they are filtered one by one.
