Answer: The oxidation state of iodine atom in the given compound is +5.

Explanation:

Oxidation state is the number that is assigned to an element when it gains or looses electrons. If an element gains electron, it will attain a negative oxidation state and if the element looses electrons, it will attain a positive oxidation state.

For the given chemical compound: $Mg(IO_3)_2$

We take the oxidation state of iodine atom be 'x'

Oxidation state of magnesium atom = +2

Oxidation state of oxygen atom = -2

Evaluating the oxidation state of iodine atom:

$+2+2x+6(-2)=0\\\\x=+5$

Hence, the oxidation state of iodine atom in the given compound is +5.

The oxidation number of iodine is 5 in Mg(IO3)2 which can be calculated as
Mg(IO3)2
MgI2O6
As we know that
Mg has +2
O has -2
So,
(+2) + 2I + 6 (-2)=0
2 + 2I - 12 =0
10+ 2I =0
10 = 2I
I =5

Quinine, an antimalarial drug, is 8.63% nitrogen. There are two nitrogen atoms per molecule. What is the molecular weight of qui

Furkat [3]

Answer:

324.18 g/mol

Explanation:

Let the molecular mass of the antimalarial drug, Quinine is x g/mol

According to question,

Nitrogen present in the drug is 8.63% of x

So, mass of nitrogen = $\frac {8.63}{100}\times x$

Also, according to the question,

2 atoms are present in 1 molecule of the drug.

Mass of nitrogen = 14.01 amu = 14.01 g/mol (grams for 1 mole)

So, mass of nitrogen = 14.01×2 = 28.02

These 2 must be equal so,

$\frac {8.63}{100}\times x=28.02$

solving for x, we get:

x = 324.18 g/mol

Suppose you need 7.0 m of Grade 70 tow chain, which has a diameter of 38" and weighs , 2.16/kgm to tow a car. How would you calc

STatiana [176]

Answer : The mass of 7.0 m chain is, 15.12 kg

Explanation :

As we are given that,

The weight of the chain per unit length = 2.16 kg/m

Now we have to determine the mass of chain for 7.0 m length.

As, the mass of 1 m length of chain = 2.16 kg

So, the mass of 7.0 m length of chain = $\frac{7.0m}{1m}\times 2.16kg$

= 15.12 kg

Therefore, the mass of 7.0 m chain is, 15.12 kg
