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.

Determine the molar mass of a compound that has a density of 0.1633 g/L at STP.<br> (show work)

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

M.Mass = 3.66 g/mol

Data Given:

M.Mass = M = ??

Density = d = 0.1633 g/L

Temperature = T = 273.15 K (Standard)

Pressure = P = 1 atm (standard)

Solution:

Let us suppose that the gas is an ideal gas. Therefore, we will apply Ideal Gas equation i.e.

P V = n R T ---- (1)

Also, we know that;

Moles = n = mass / M.Mass

Or, n = m / M

Substituting n in Eq. 1.

P V = m/M R T --- (2)

Rearranging Eq.2 i.e.

P M = m/V R T --- (3)

As,

Mass / Volume = m/V = Density = d

So, Eq. 3 can be written as,

P M = d R T

Solving for M.Mass i.e.

M = d R T / P

Putting values,

M = 0.1633 g/L × 0.08205 L.atm.K⁻¹.mol⁻¹ × 273.15 K / 1 atm

M = 3.66 g/mol

Methane gas reacts with oxygen in a gas stove.

nekit [7.7K]

Hey there!

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

carbon dioxide: product

methane: reactant

oxygen: reactant

water: product

Methane and oxygen are reactants because they are the substances we start with. They are on the side of the equation that the arrow is pointing away from.

Carbon dioxide and water are products because they are the new substances that are the yields of the equation. They are on the side of the equation that the arrow is pointing towards.

Hope this helps!
