Oxidation unit test

1 answer:

8 0

In this case, according to the given information about the oxidation numbers anf the compounds given, it turns out possible to figure out the oxidation number of manganese in both MnI2, manganese (II) iodide and MnO2, manganese (IV) oxide, by using the concept of charge balance.

Thus, we can define the oxidation state of iodine and oxygen as -1 and -2, respectively, since the former needs one electron to complete the octet and the latter, two of them.

Next, we can write the following $x$ , since manganese has five oxidation states, and it is necessary to calculate the appropriate ones:

$Mn^xI_2^-\\\\Mn ^xO_2^{-2}$

Next, we multiply each anion's oxidation number by the subscript, to obtain the following:

$Mn^xI_2^-\rightarrow x-2=0;x=+2\\\\Mn ^xO_2^{-2}\rightarrow x-4=0;x=+4$

Thus, the correct choice is Manganese has an oxidation number of +2 in Mnl2 and +4 in MnO2.

Answer:

(D) Neither I nor II

Explanation:

The reagent potassium hydrogen phthalate is found in pure form and it is not partially hydrated .

The pallet form of NaOH ( solid form ) absorbs carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere but NaOH in solution form does not absorb carbon dioxide .

Hence option D ) is right choice .

HELP.....From the information presented in the activity series of metals below (4 metals included), answer the following questio

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

a)there would be no reaction

Explanation:

The activity series of metals has many functions. The one applicable to this problem is that it can be used to determine whether a reaction will occur or not. Also, based on the positions of metals in the series, we can know how reactive a metal is compared to another.

In a single displacement reaction, a metal replaces another metal based on their position on the activity series. Metals that are higher in the series are generally more reactive than others below them and so will displace them.

Would aluminum replace magnesium to form a new compound or would there be no reaction?

Magnesium is higher than aluminum in the activity series. Therefore it is more reactive than aluminum. No reaction will occur.
