What would you predict to be the valence number and oxidation number of tin?

Chemistry

murzikaleks [220]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Tin exists in two oxidation states, +4 and +2. Elemental tin is readily oxidized to the dipositive ion in acidic solution, but this Sn2+ ion is converted to the Sn4+ ion by many mild oxidizing agents, including elemental oxygen. Oxidation under alkaline conditions normally gives the tetrapositive (Sn4+) state.

What can you conclude about these two reactions based on the chemical equations? Reaction A: 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) + sunlight ? C6H1
OlgaM077 [116]

Given reactions:

(A)   6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) + sunlight → C6H12O6(aq) + 6O2(g)

(B)  2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g) + energy

Exothermic reactions are those which proceed with the release of heat/energy. In contrast, endothermic reactions proceed with the absorption of energy in the form of heat or light.

Since reaction A required sunlight, it is endothermic. Reaction B releases energy, hence exothermic

Ans: (B)

A is endothermic

B is exothermic

Which of the following atoms could have an expanded octet when it is the central atom in a covalent compound?a) B
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

only chlorine can expand its octet.

Explanation:

An atom can expand its octet is it has empty d orbital

the electronic configuration of given elements will be:

B : 1s2 2s2 2p1 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

O :1s2 2s2 2p4 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

F : 1s2 2s2 2p5 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

Cl :1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 3d0 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

Out of given elements only chlorine has empty d orbitals in its valence shell

Thus only chlorine can expand its octet.

At a given temperature the vapor pressures of hexane and octane are 183 mmhg and 59.2 mmhg, respectively. Calculate the total va
Bas_tet [7]

Total vapor pressure can be calculated using partial vapor pressures and mole fraction as follows:

P=X_{A}P_{A}+X_{B}P_{B}

Here, X_{A} is mole fraction of A, X_{B} is mole fraction of B, P_{A} is partial pressure of A and P_{B} is partial pressure of B.

The mole fraction of A and B are related to each other as follows:

X_{A}+X_{B}=1

In this problem, A is hexane and B is octane, mole fraction of hexane is given 0.580 thus, mole fraction of octane can be calculated as follows:

X_{octane}=1-X_{hexane}=1-0.58=0.42

Partial pressure of hexane and octane is given 183 mmHg and 59.2 mmHg respectively.

Now, vapor pressure can be calculated as follows:

P=X_{hexane}P_{hexane}+X_{octane}P_{octane}

Putting the values,

P=(0.580)(183 mmHg)+(0.420)(59.2 mmHg)=131 mmHg

Therefore, total vapor pressure over the solution of hexane and octane is 131 mmHg.

EDTA EDTA is a hexaprotic system with the p K a pKa values: p K a1 = 0.00 pKa1=0.00 , p K a2 = 1.50 pKa2=1.50 , p K a3 = 2.00 pK
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

When,

pH = -log[H+] = 3.30

[H+] = 5.0 X 10^{-4} M

Ka1 = 1 ; Ka2 = 0.0316 ; Ka3 = 0.01 ; Ka4 = 0.002 ; Ka5 = 7.4 X 10^{-7} ; Ka6 = 4.3 X 10^{-11}

alpha[Y^-4] = [H+]^6 + Ka1[H+]^5 + Ka1Ka2[H+]^4 + Ka1Ka2Ka3[H+]^3 + Ka1Ka2Ka3Ka4[H+]^2 + Ka1Ka2Ka3Ka4Ka5[H+] + Ka1Ka2Ka3Ka4Ka5Ka6

= 1.56 X 10^{-20} + 3.12 X 10^{-17} + 2 X 10^{-15} + 4 X 10^{-14} + 1.6 X 10^{-13} + 2.34 X 10^{-16} + 2 X 10^{-23}

= 2.02 X 10^{-13}

When,

pH = -log[H+] = 10.15

[H+] = 7.08 X 10^{-11} M

Ka1 = 1 ; Ka2 = 0.0316 ; Ka3 = 0.01 ; Ka4 = 0.002 ; Ka5 = 7.4 X 10^{-7} ; Ka6 = 4.3 X 10^-11

alpha[Y^{-4}] = [H+]^6 + Ka1[H+]^5 + Ka1Ka2[H+]^4 + Ka1Ka2Ka3[H+]^3 + Ka1Ka2Ka3Ka4[H+]^2 + Ka1Ka2Ka3Ka4Ka5[H+] + Ka1Ka2Ka3Ka4Ka5Ka6

= 1.26 X 10^{-61} + 1.8 X 10^{-51} + 8.1 X 10^{-43} + 1.12 X 10^{-34} + 3.17 X 10^{-27} + 3.3 X 10^{-23} + 1.83 X 10^{-23}

= 5.12 X 10^{-23}

The molar mass of copper is 63.55 g/mol. How many moles of copper were reacted?
Oksana_A [137]
The moles of any substance are equal to the substance's mass divided by its molar mass. Therefore, in order to calculate the moles of copper, you would divide the reacted mass by 63.55
