Answer:

sorry

Explanation:

i'm not a chemistry student

but let me try

it is because the neutron of an atom is -

why the proton and electron is +and- (positive and negative)

so + and - = 0

(part 1 of 3) Copper reacts with silver nitrate through a single replacement. If 1.29 g of silver are produced from the reaction

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the described chemical reaction, we first write the corresponding equation to obtain:

$Cu+2AgNO_3\rightarrow 2Ag+Cu(NO_3)_2$

Thus, we proceed as follows:

Part 1 of 3: here, since the molar mass of silver and copper (II) nitrate are 107.87 and 187.55 g/mol respectively, and the mole ratio of the former to the latter is 2:1, we can set up the following stoichiometric expression:

$m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=1.29gAg*\frac{1molAg}{107.87gAg}*\frac{1molCu(NO_3)_2}{2molAg}*\frac{187.55gCu(NO_3)_2}{1molCu(NO_3)_2} \\\\m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=1.12gCu(NO_3)_2$

Part 2 of 3: here, the molar mass of copper is 63.55 g/mol and the mole ratio of silver to copper is 2:1, the mass of the former that was used to start the reaction was:

$m_{Cu}=1.29gAg*\frac{1molAg}{107.87gAg}*\frac{1molCu}{2molAg}*\frac{63.55gCu)_2}{1molCu} \\\\m_{Cu}=0.380gCu$

Part 3 of 3: here, the molar mass of silver nitrate is 169.87 g/mol and their mole ratio 2:2, thus, the mass of initial silver nitrate is:

$m_{AgNO_3}=1.29gAg*\frac{1molAg}{107.87gAg}*\frac{2molAgNO_3}{2molAg}*\frac{169.87gAgNO_3}{1molAgNO_3} \\\\m_{AgNO_3}=2.03gAgNO_3$

Best regards!

The coordination compound Co3[Cr(CN)6]2 contains Co2+ cations and a complex anion. What is the likely oxidation state for Cr in

otez555 [7]

Answer:

-3

Explanation:

The oxidation state or oxidation number of an atom is the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom.

The complex anion here is [Cr(CN)6]3-.

Now, as the oxidation state of CN or cyanide ligand is -1, and if we suppose the oxidation state of Cr to be 'x', then; x - 6 = -3 (overall charge on the anion),

so x= +3. Hence the oxidation state of Chromium in this complex hexacyanochromium (III) anion comes out to be -3.

Calculate the ph of the solution resulting by mixing 20.0 ml of 0.15 m hcl with 20.0 ml of 0.10 m koh

Aliun [14]

Answer:

1.60.

Explanation:

The no. of millimoles of HCl = MV = (0.15 M)(20.0 mL) = 3.0 mmol.

The no. of millimoles of KOH = MV = (0.10 M)(20.0 mL) = 2.0 mmol.

Since the no. of millimoles of HCl is larger than that of KOH. The solution is acidic.

∴ M of remaining HCl [H⁺] remaining = (NV)HCl - (NV)KOH/V total = (3.0 mmol) - (2.0 mmol) / (40.0 mL) = 0.025 M.

∵ pH = - log[H⁺]

∴ pH = - log[H⁺] = - log(0.025) = 1.602 ≅ 1.60.
