Answer:
Nitrogen (ii) oxide
Explanation:
To know the IUPAC name for NO, we shall determine the oxidation number of N in NO.
NOTE: The oxidation number of oxygen (O) is always – 2.
Thus the oxidation number of N in NO can be obtained as follow:
N + O = 0 (ground state)
N + (– 2) = 0
N – 2 = 0
Collect like terms
N = 0 + 2
N = +2
Thus, the oxidation number of Nitrogen (N) in NO is +2.
Therefore, the IUPAC name for NO is Nitrogen (ii) oxide
Answer:
K = 0.5
Explanation:
Based on the reaction:
PCl₃ + Cl₂ ⇄ PCl₅
The equilibrium constant, K, is defined as:
K = P PCl₅ / P PCl₃ * P Cl₂
<em>Where P represent the pressure at the equilibrium for each one of the gases involved in the equilibrium.</em>
<em />
As:
P PCl₅ = 1.0atm
P PCl₃ = 1.0atm
P Cl₂ = 2.0atm
K = 1.0atm / 1.0atm * 2.0atm
<h3>K = 0.5</h3>
Answer: D
Explanation:
A reducing agent is a species that reduces other compounds, and is thereby oxidized. The whole compound becomes the reducing agent. In other words, of a compound is oxidized, then they are the reducing agent. On the other hand, if the compound is reduced, it is an ozidizing agent.
Since we have established that a reducing agent is the compound being oxidized, we know that A is not our answer. An oxidized compound is losing electrons. Choice A states exactly this.
For B, this is true as we have established this already.
C is also correct. Since a reducing agent loses electrons, it becomes more positive. This makes the oxidation number increase.
D would be our correct answer. It is actually a good oxidizing agent is a metal in a high oxidation state, such as Mn⁷⁺.
