What is the oxidation state of an element that is not involved in bonding

Chemistry
1 answer:
masha68 [24]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

The oxidation state of an element that is not involved in bonding is zero. An atom in its free and uncombined state has zero oxidation number.

The extent of oxidation of each atom of the elements in a molecular formula or formula unit or an ionic radical is given by the oxidation number.

  • The formal charge assigned to an atom present in a molecule or a formula unit or ion based on some arbitrary rules is given by the oxidation number.
  • Elements in their uncombined state or one whose atom combine with themselves to form molecules  have zero oxidation number.

What would be the mass of 9.03*10^21 molecules of hydrobromic acid
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

2.11 g hydrobromic acid (correct to 3SF)

Explanation:

Molecular formula of hydrobromic acid = C2H5BrO2

mass of C2H5BrO2 = 140.96g

Beginning with what we're given, 9.03*10^21 we then make a conversion by using Avegadro's number which is 6.02*10^23 per mole (Oct. 23 at 6:02 am is national mole day :) Then, we need to convert out of moles, 140.96g hydrombromic acid per mole.

It looks like this:

9.03*10^21 molecules • (1 mol C2H5BrO2 / 6.02*10^23 molecules) • (140g C2H5BrO2 / 1 mol) = 2.1144 g C2H5BrO2

What is the pH of 0.10 M NaF(aq). The Ka of HF is 6.8 x 10-4
dsp73

<u>Given information:</u>

Concentration of NaF = 0.10 M

Ka of HF = 6.8*10⁻⁴

<u>To determine:</u>

pH of 0.1 M NaF

<u>Explanation:</u>

NaF (aq) ↔ Na+ (aq) + F-(aq)

[Na+] = [F-] = 0.10 M

F- will then react with water in the solution as follows:

F- + H2O ↔ HF + OH-

Kb = [OH-][HF]/[F-]

Kw/Ka = [OH-][HF]/[F-]

At equilibrium: [OH-]=[HF] = x and [F-] = 0.1 - x

10⁻¹⁴/6.8*10⁻⁴ = x²/0.1-x

x = [OH-] = 1.21*10⁻⁶ M

pOH = -log[OH-] = -log[1.21*10⁻⁶] = 5.92

pH = 14 - pOH = 14-5.92 = 8.08

Ans: (b)

pH of 0.10 M NaF is 8.08
