Calculate the oxidation number of each atom in the following: CrO42−, NO3−, CaO, Zn, H2O, Sr2+
How do oxidation numbers of each element of the following reactions change?
1. Ag(s) + CN-(aq) + O2(g) → Ag(CN)2-(aq) + H2O(l)
2. NaI(aq) + 3HOCl(aq) → NaIO3(aq) + 3HCl(aq).
Which statement is true for the following reaction?
CH4 (g) + 2 O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (l)
Identify element being reduced and element being oxidized in the following reaction:
1. Cl2 (aq) + 2NaI (aq) → I2 (aq) + 2NaCl (aq)
2. 3 Fe(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 AI (s) → 3 Fe (s) + 2 AI(NO 3)3 (aq)
Label the following as a non-redox or redox reaction. Determine the reducing agent and the oxidizing agent for the identified redox reaction.
I. Mg (s) +Cl2 (g) → MgCl2 (s)
II. Cu (s) + 2 Ag+ (aq) → Cu2+ (aq) + Ag (s)
III. 2 K (s) + F2 (g) → 2 KF (s)
IV. N2O3 (g) + H2O (l) → HNO2 (aq)
A 0.350 g sample of a certain semimetal M heated in air yielded the matching oxide M2O3. The reaction needed 7.67 mL of 0.125 M Cr2O72− when the oxide was dissolved in aqueous acid and titrated with K2Cr2O7. The unbalanced equation for the titration is H3MO3(aq) + Cr2O72−(aq) → H3MO4(aq) + Cr3+(aq) (in acid).
How many moles of semimetal were present in the initial 0.350 g sample and how many moles of oxide were formed?
A sample contains palladium, cadmium, and other impurities. The mass percent of palladium and cadmium can be determined using a process that starts with the sample being dissolved in hot nitric acid. Aqueous ammonia is used to lessen the acidity of the resulting solution of Cu2+ and Pd2+ ions, and then sodium thiocyanate (NaSCN) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) are added to precipitate palladium thiocyanate (PdSCN). The collected solid PdSCN is dissolved in water, treated with potassium iodate (KIO3) to produce iodine, and then titrated with aqueous sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3). After PdSCN is removed, the filtrate is neutralized by adding aqueous ammonia. Then, a solution of diammonium hydrogen phosphate ((NH4)2HPO4) is added, resulting in a precipitate of cadmium ammonium phosphate (CdNH4PO4). The precipitate is transformed into cadmium pyrophosphate (Cd2P2O7) by heating it to 900 °C, which is then weighed. The equations involved in the process are:
(1) Pd(s) + NO3—(aq) → Pd4+(aq) + NO(g) (in acid)
(2) Pd4+(aq) + SCN—(aq) + HSO3—(aq) → Pd(SCN)2(s) + HSO4—(aq) (in acid)
(3) Pd2+(aq) + IO3—(aq) → Pd4+(aq) + I2(aq) (in acid)
(4) I2(aq) + S2O32—(aq) → I—(aq) + S4O62—(aq) (in acid)
(5) CdNH4PO4(s) → Cd2P2O7(s) + H2O(g) + NH3(g)
