Answer:

Oxidation number: +3

Coordination number: 4

Explanation:

In K[Co(C₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂], with C₂O₄²⁻ being oxalate, what are the oxidation and coordination numbers for Cobalt?

The overall charge equals the sum of charges and oxidation states of all components, which totals to zero here.

K + Co + 2. C₂O₄²⁻ + 2. H₂O = 0

+1 + Co + 2. (2-) + 2. 0 = 0

Co = +3

The coordination number refers to the total number of ligands directly bonded to the central metal. Since cobalt is bonded to 2 oxalate ions and 2 water molecules, the coordination number amounts to 2 + 2 = 4.

Let's represent molecules with symbols as follows:

                   C₂O₄  =  X
and
                    H₂O  =  Y
Then,
                                K [ Co (X)₂ (Y)₂ ]

Since Potassium (K) has an oxidation number of +1

To achieve neutrality, the oxidation number of the coordination sphere needs to equal -1.
Thus,
                                    [ Co (X)₂ (Y)₂ ]  =  -1
Given that,
           the O.N of X is -2
Therefore,
       O.N of (X)₂ equals -4

Additionally,
O.N of H₂O is zero since it remains neutral. Therefore,

                                    [Co - 4 + 0 ]  =  -1
Or,
                                    Co  =  -1 + 4

                                    Co  =  +3

Conclusion:
          The oxidation number for the coordination sphere is -1, and the oxidation state of copper is +3.

Hitesh wants to learn swimming. He brought swimming costumes and a cap. What kind of material should these be made of and why?
alisha [2963]

Answer:

Nylon and Spandex (Lycra).

Explanation:

These materials are designed to fit the body, with nylon drying more quickly than other types of fabrics, and Spandex being commonly found in swimming and sports apparel due to its elastic qualities. Both fabrics also wick moisture away and dry rapidly.

With high capacity and enhanced flexibility, nylon and Spandex provide a snug fit to the body and can retain their shape during various activities, making them ideal for swimming.

This explains why these materials are suitable based on the situation given.

A sample of helium gas has a volume of 0.180L, a pressure of 0.800a and a temperature of 29 C. What is the new temp or gas of vo
Anarel [2989]

Solution:

The gas's new temperature is 604K

Justification:

Assuming standard temperature and pressure, we can determine the gas's temperature using the ideal gas law;

Step 1: Formulate the general gas law equation

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Step 2: Insert the values, converting as needed to standard units.

P1 = 0.800 atm

V1 = 0.180 L

T1 = 29°C = 273 + 29 = 302K

P2 = 3.20 atm

V2 = 90 mL = 90 * 10^-3 L = 0.09 L

Step 3: Solve for T2

The new gas temperature T2 is calculated as:

T2 = P2V2T1/(P1V1)

T2 = 3.20 * 0.09 * 302 / (0.800 * 0.180)

T2 = 86.976 / 0.144

T2 = 604K

The gas's new temperature is 604K.

Select the atoms or ions drawn with valid Lewis dot structures. A) A carbon has a dot on top, right, bottom and to the left.a ni
KiRa [2933]
Answer:

B, C

Explanation:

The Lewis dot structures that are valid are for B and C.

Regarding A;

The Lewis representation of carbon is correct. Each of the four dots symbolizes the four valence electrons.

However, the nitrogen with a single dot above, to the left, and below and a -3 charge isincorrect. For it to have a -3 charge, it must possess 8 Lewis dots (two on each side).

The nitrogen showing four dots (on top, right, bottom and left) is incorrect.

In B;

An oxygen having two dots positioned above and below with one dot on both sides is correct , as the 6 dots indicate oxygen's valence electrons.

In C;

A carbon shows two dots at each position and has a charge of +4. This is correct because the charge reflects that it has gained four electrons giving it 8 valence electrons.

In D;

An oxygen shows two dots above, to the left and below, with a charge of -2. This is incorrect as not all Lewis dots are present. Two are missing.

Is the aqueous solution of each of these salts acidic, basic, or neutral? (a) cr(no3)3 acidic basic neutral (b) nahs acidic basi
KiRa [2933]
1) Chromium(III) nitrate is classified as acidic because it is derived from a weak base (chromium(III) hydroxide Cr(OH)₃) and a strong acid (nitric acid HNO₃). 2) Sodium hydrosulfide is considered basic because it results from a strong base (sodium hydroxide NaOH) and a weak acid (hydrogen sulfide H₂S). 3) Zinc acetate is slightly basic since zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)₂) is a stronger base than acetic acid (CH₃COOH).

If 32.0 g of MgSO4⋅7H2O is thoroughly heated, what mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate will remain?
alisha [2963]
To calculate the moles of MgSO4.7H2O, we find the molar mass equals 246, thus moles = 32 / 246 = 0.13 moles. Upon heating, all 7 H2O from one molecule will evaporate. The total moles of H2O present amount to 7 x 0.13 = 0.91, and the mass of that H2O is 0.91 x 18 = 16.38g. Therefore, the mass of the anhydrous MgSO4 that remains is 32 - 16.38 = 15.62 g.
