Answer:
paramagnetic
Explanation:
The complex ion is : [Cr(CN)₆]³⁻
Oxidation state of Cr in [Cr(CN)₆]³⁻ is:
x + (-1)6 = -3
x = +3
CN⁻ is a strong field ligand which can result in pairing of the electrons.
The electronic configuration of Cr is:
1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁵4s¹
The electronic configuration of Cr³⁺ is:
1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d³
<u>These 3 electrons will be singly present in the 3 degenerate t₂g orbitals and per Hund's rule, pairing will not occur in the same level energy orbitals. So , no. of unpaired electrons will be 3 and the complex will be paramagnetic.</u>
B. the number 3.
there are 2Al's on both sides and 6 Cl's on the right side so to balance it, you multiply Cl2 by 3 to get 6 Cl's.
The given formula for heat, Q=mc(Tf-Ti), is the best way to solve such problems with changes in temperature. It can be said that m is the mass of the substance. C is the specific heat of the substance. The term (Tf-Ti) is the change in temperature.
Q = mc(Tf-Ti) = 480g(0.96 J/g-C)(234-22) = 97689.6 Joules of heat
Correct Question: what is the oxidizing agent in the reaction.
2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)
Answer: MnO4-is the oxidizing agent
Explanation:
In the reaction 2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)
Oxidizing agent oxidizes other molecules while the themselves get reduced.
oxidizing agents give away Oxygen to other compounds.
MnO4-is the oxidizing agent because
On the reactants side
Oxidation number of Mn in 2MnO4- is +7
Oxidation number of Cl- is -1
On the products side
Oxidation number of Mn is +2
While oxidation number of Cl is zero
Therefore the oxidizing agent is 2MnO4 because is oxidizes Chlorine from -1 to 0 while itself got reduced from oxidation state of +7 to +2
