Oxidation unit test

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.

Consider the following reactions and their respective equilibrium constants: NO(g)+12Br2(g)⇌NOBr(g)Kp=5.3 2NO(g)⇌N2(g)+O2(g)Kp=2

maxonik [38]

Answer:

Equilibrium constant of the given reaction is $1.3\times 10^{-29}$

Explanation:

$NO+\frac{1}{2}Br_{2}\rightleftharpoons NOBr$ .... $(K_{p})_{1}=5.3$

$2NO\rightleftharpoons N_{2}+O_{2}$ .... $(K_{p})_{2}=2.1\times 10^{30}$

The given reaction can be written as summation of the following reaction-

$2NO+Br_{2}\rightleftharpoons 2NOBr$

$N_{2}+O_{2}\rightleftharpoons 2NO$

......................................................................................

$N_{2}+O_{2}+Br_{2}\rightleftharpoons 2NOBr$

Equilibrium constant of this reaction is given as-

$\frac{[NOBr]^{2}}{[N_{2}][O_{2}][Br_{2}]}$

$=(\frac{[NOBr]}{[NO][Br_{2}]^{\frac{1}{2}}})^{2}(\frac{[NO]^{2}}{[N_{2}][O_{2}]})$

$=\frac{(K_{p})_{1}^{2}}{(K_{p})_{2}}$

$=\frac{(5.3)^{2}}{2.1\times 10^{30}}=1.3\times 10^{-29}$

Calculate the new boiling point of a solution if 10.00 g of a non-ionizing compound (C3H5(OH)3) is dissolved in 90.00 g of H2O.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Boiling T° of solution = 100.6

Explanation:

Formula for elevation of boiling point is:

ΔT = Kb . m . i

where ΔT means Boiling T° of solution - Boiling T° of pure solvent

Our solute is a non ionizing compound.

i = 1, because it is a non ionizing compound. i, indicates the ions dissolved in solution.

m = molality (moles of solute dissolved in 1 kg of solvent)

90 g of solvent = 0.09 kg of solvent

We convert mass of solute to moles (by the molar mass):

10 g . 1 mol /92.09 g = 0.108 moles

m = 0.108 mol /0.09 kg = 1.21 m

Let's replace data: Boiling T° of solution - 100°C = 0.51 °C/m . 1.21 m . 1

Boiling T° of solution = 0.51 °C/m . 1.21 m . 1 + 100°C

Boiling T° of solution = 100.6

How does a sugar solution become rock candy?

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A supersaturated solution is unstable—it contains more solute (in this case, sugar) than can stay in solution—so as the temperature decreases, the sugar comes out of the solution, forming crystals. The lower the temperature, the more molecules join the sugar crystals, and that is how rock candy is created.
