What is the oxidation number of pt in k2ptcl6?

1 answer:

4 0

Your compound is $K_{2}PtCl_{6}$ .

Remember that the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound must add up to zero. Cl has an oxidation number of -1 because it is a halogen K has an oxidation number of +1 because it is an alkali metal, which exhibits an oxidation state of +1 in compounds.

Since you have 6 atoms of Cl, you have -1(6) = -6 for the Cl. Since you 2 atoms of K, you have +1(2) = +2 for the K. The oxidation number of Pt must make all the oxidation numbers add up to zero:
+2 + (-6) + oxidation number of Pt = 0
-4 + oxidation number of Pt = 0
Oxidation number of Pt = 4

Which of the following types of molecules always has a dipole moment? Linear molecules with two identical bonds. Trigonal pyrami

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Trigonal pyramid molecules (three identical bonds)

Explanation:

In trigonal pyramidal molecule like molecule of ammonia , the vector some of intra- molecular dipole moment is not zero because the bonds are not symmetrically oriented . In other molecules , bonds are symmetrically oriented in space so the vector sum of all the internal dipole moment vectors cancel each other to make total dipole moment zero.

The lab question is “Based on a substance’s properties, how can you determine whether its bonds are ionic or covalent?” Fill in

AleksandrR [38]

If the substance has high melting/boiling point, if it requires high temperature to dissociate into simpler particles, if it's structure is hard and if it conducts heat and electricity quite frequently, then it would be "Ionic compound" otherwise, it will be covalent compound. (compound with covalent bonds).

Substance with ionic bonds, would include... (mentioned in first sentence)

Hope this helps!

What is the mass of solute in 200.0 L of a 1.556-M solution of KBr

sergejj [24]

The molarity of KBr solution is 1.556 M
molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in volume of 1 L solution.
the number of KBr moles in 1 L - 1.556 mol
Therefore in 200.0 L - 1.556 mol/L x 200.0 L = 311.2 mol
Molar mass of KBr - 119 g/mol
mass of Kbr - 311.2 mol x 119 g/mol = 37 033 g
mass of solute therefore is 37.033 kg

Standard Thermodynamic Quantities for Selected Substances at 25 ∘C Reactant or product ΔHf∘(kJ/mol) Al(s) 0.0 MnO2(s) −520.0 Al2

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

-1815.4 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Starting with standard enthalpies of formation you can calculate the standard enthalpy for the reaction doing this simple calculation:

∑ n *ΔH formation (products) - ∑ n *ΔH formation (reagents)

This is possible because enthalpy is state function meaning it only deppends on the initial and final state of the system (That's why is also possible to "mix" reactions with Hess Law to determine the enthalpy of a new reaction). Also the enthalpy of formation is the heat required to form the compound from pure elements, then products are just atoms of reagents organized in a different form.

In this case:

ΔH rxn = [(2 * -1675.7) - (3 * -520.0)] kJ/mol = -1815.4 kJ/mol
