What is the oxidation state of selenium in SeO3?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
ra1l [238]2 years ago
8 0

Answer: The oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 is +6

Explanation:

SeO3 is the chemical formula for selenium trioxide.

- The oxidation state of SeO3 = 0 (since it is stable and with no charge)

- the oxidation number of oxygen (O) IN SeO3 is -2

- the oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 = Z (let unknown value be Z)

Hence, SeO3 = 0

Z + (-2 x 3) = 0

Z + (-6) = 0

Z - 6 = 0

Z = 0 + 6

Z = +6

Thus, the oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 is +6

The activation energy for the reaction NO2(g)+CO(g)⟶NO(g)+CO2(g) is Ea = 375 kJ/mol and the change in enthalpy for the reaction
HACTEHA [7]
Answer: 625 kj/mol

Explanation:

As shown below this expression gives the activation energy of the reverse reaction:

EA reverse reaction = EA forward reaction + | enthalpy change |

1) The activation energy, EA is the difference between the potential energies of the reactants and the transition state:

EA = energy of the transition state - energy of the reactants.

2) The activation energy of the forward reaction given is:

EA = energy of the transition state - energy of  [ NO2(g) + CO(g) ] = 75 kj/mol

3) The negative enthalpy change - 250 kj / mol for the forward reaction means that the products are below in the potential energy diagram, and that the potential energy of the products, [NO(g) + CO2(g) ] is equal to 375 kj / mol - 250 kj / mol = 125 kj/mol

4) For the reverse reaction the reactants are [NO(g) + CO2(g)], and the transition state is the same than that for the forward reaction.

5) The difference of energy between the transition state and the potential energy of [NO(g) + CO2(g) ] will be the absolute value of the change of enthalpy plus the activation energy for the forward reaction:

EA reverse reaction = EA forward reaction + | enthalpy change |

EA reverse reaction = 375 kj / mol + |-250 kj/mol | = 375 kj/mol + 250 kj/mol = 625 kj/mol.

And that is the answer, 625 kj/mol

Two students are working together to build two models. Both models will represent the molecular structure of sodium bicarbonate,
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Altogether for both models; two red jellybeans, two white jellybeans, two black jellybeans and six blue jellybeans.

<em>Note: Since no specific color was stated for oxygen atoms, the answer assigns blue colored jellybeans to represent oxygen atoms.J</em>

Explanation:

Sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO₃ is a compound composed of one atom of sodium, one atom of hydrogen, one atom of carbon and three atoms of oxygen.

Since red jellybeans represent sodium atoms, white jellybeans represent hydrogen atoms, black jellybeans represent carbon atoms and blue jellybeans represent oxygen atoms, each of the two students will require the following number of each jellybean for their model of sodium carbonate: One red jellybean, one white jellybean, one black jellybean and three blue jellybeans.

Altogether for both models; two red jellybeans, two white jellybeans, two black jellybeans and six blue jellybeans.

1) How many aluminum atoms are there in 3.50 grams of Al2O3?
drek231 [11]

Answer:

Aluminium atoms =  4.13 *10^22 aluminium atoms

The correct answer is E

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of Al2O3 = 3.50 grams

Molar mass of Al2O3 = 101.96 g/mol

Number of Avogadro = 6.022 * 10^23 /mol

Step 2: Calculate moles Al2O3

Moles Al2O3 = mass Al2O3 / molar mass Al2O3

Moles Al2O3 = 3.50 grams / 101.96 g/mol

Moles Al2O3 = 0.0343 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles Aluminium

In 1 mol Al2O3 we have 2 moles Al

in 0.0343 moles Al2O3 we have 2*0.0343 = 0.0686 moles Al

Step 4: Calculate aluminium atoms

Aluminium atoms =  moles aluminium * Number of Avogadro

Aluminium atoms =  0.0686 * 6.022 * 10^23

Aluminium atoms =  4.13 *10^22 aluminium atoms

The correct answer is E

Naturally occurring iodine has an atomic mass of 126.9045 amu. A 12.3849-g sample of iodine is accidentally contaminated with 1.
Oliga [24]

Answer:

127.0665 amu

Explanation:

Firstly, to answer the question correctly, we need to access the percentage compositions of the iodine and the contaminant iodine. We can do this by placing their individual masses over the total and multiplying by 100%.

We do this as follows. Since the mass of the contaminant iodine is 1.00070g, the mass of the 129I in that particular sample will be 12.3849 - 1.00070 = 11.3842g

The percentage abundances is as follows:

Synthetic radioisotope % = 1.0007/12.3849 * 100% = 8.1%

Since there are only two constituents, the percentage abundance of the 129I would be 100 - 8.1 = 91.9%

Now, we can use these percentages to get the apparent atomic mass. We get this by multiplying the percentage abundance’s by the atomic masses of both and adding together.

That is :

[8.1/100 * 128.9050] + [91.9/100 * 126.9045] = 10.441305 + 116.6252355 = 127.0665 amu
