. zinc + nitrogen → zinc nitride

What is the oxidation number for zinc? How does zinc's electron configuration account for this oxidation number?

IRINA_888 [86]

+2 is the oxidation number for Zinc
<span>Oxidation Number for a Transition metal = Number of Unpaired d-electrons + Two s-electrons
</span>[Ar]4s2 3d10 is the electron configuration for zinc. The d-block is full with 10 electrons meaning there are no unpaired d-electrons, so the oxidation number is 0 unpaired d-electrons + 2 s-electrons = +2

A mothball, composed of naphthalene (c10h8), has a mass of 1.64 g . part a how many naphthalene molecules does it contain?

OLga [1]

The molar mass of Naphthalene is 128g/mol
Therefore; a mass of 1.64 g of Naphthalene contains'
= 1.64g/128 g
= 0.0128 moles
But, from the Avogadro's law 1 mole of a substance contains 6.022 × 10^23 particles
Therefore 1 mole of Naphthalene contains 6.022×10^23 molecules
Hence; 0.0128 moles × 6.022 ×10^23 molecules
= 7.716 × 10^21 molecules

Using the equation below, if you have 4.3 mol of nitrogen tribromide and

ankoles [38]

Answer:

sodium hydroxide is the limiting reactant

Explanation:

The first step is usually to put down the balanced reaction equation. This is the first thing to do when solving any problem related to stoichiometry. The balanced reaction equation serves as a guide during the solution.

2NBr3 + 3NaOH = N2 + 3NaBr + 3HOBr

Let us pick nitrogen gas as our product of interest. Any of the reactants that gives a lower number of moles of nitrogen gas is the limiting reactant.

For nitrogen tribromide

From the balanced reaction equation;

2 moles of nitrogen tribromide yields 1 mole of nitrogen gas

4.3 moles of nitrogen tribromide will yield 4.3 ×1/ 2 = 2.15 moles of nitrogen gas

For sodium hydroxide;

3 moles of sodium hydroxide yields 1 mole of nitrogen gas

5.9 moles of sodium hydroxide yields 5.9 × 1/ 3= 1.97 moles of nitrogen gas

Therefore, sodium hydroxide is the limiting reactant.

Compound X has a molar mass of 416.48 g mol

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

P₂Cl₁₀

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Molar mass of compound X = 416.48 g/mol

Percentage of phosphorus (P) = 14.87%

Percentage of Chlorine (Cl) = 85.13%

Molecular formula of X =?

Next, we shall determine the empirical formula of compound X. This can be obtained as follow:

P = 14.87%

Cl = 85.13%

Divide by their molar mass

P = 14.87 / 31 = 0.480

Cl = 85.13 / 35.5 = 2.398

Divide by the smallest

P = 0.480 / 0.480 = 1

Cl = 2.398 / 0.480 = 5

Empirical formula of compound X is PCl₅

Finally, we shall determine the molecular formula of compound X. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of compound X = 416.48 g/mol

Empirical formula = PCl₅

Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula= [Empirical formula]ₙ

[PCl₅]ₙ = 416.48

[31 + (35.5 × 5)]ₙ = 416.48

[31 + 177.5]n = 416.48

208.5n = 416.48

Divide both side by 208.5

n = 416.48 / 208.5

n = 2

Molecular formula = [PCl₅]ₙ

Molecular formula = [PCl₅]₂

Molecular formula = P₂Cl₁₀

Therefore, the molecular formula of compound X is P₂Cl₁₀
