Interpretation:
The oxidation number of the underlined species in
Concept introduction:
A species gain or loses electrons to form anions or cations respectively. To keep a track on the loss or gain of an electron, a number is assigned in the form of oxidation number. The rules used to determine oxidation number of an atom in a molecule is shown below.
• For each atom in its elemental state, the oxidation number is zero.
• For a monoatomic ion, the oxidation number is same as the charge on that species.
• The oxidation number of combined oxygen is
• The sum of oxidation numbers in a molecule or polyatomic ion or molecule is equal to the overall charge on the species.

- Decide whether a reaction occurs for each of the following. If it does not, write NR after the arrow. If it does, write the balanced molecular equation; then write the net ionic equation. a Al(OH)3 + HNO3 b NaBr + HClO4 c CaCl2 + NaNO3 d MgSO4 + Ba(NO3)2arrow_forwardThe mineral dolomite contains magnesium carbon-ate. This reacts with hydrochloric add. MgCO3(s) + 2 HCl(aq) CO2(g) + MgCl2(aq) + H2O() (a) Write the net ionic equation for this reaction and identify the spectator ions. (b) What type of reaction is this?arrow_forwardWrite the net ionic equation and identify the spectator ion or ions in the reaction of nitric acid and magnesium hydroxide. What type of reaction is this? 2 H3O+(aq) + 2 NO3(aq) + Mg(OH)2(s) 4 H2O() + Mg2+(aq) + 2 NO3(aq)arrow_forward
- Gold can be dissolved from gold-bearing rock by treating the rock with sodium cyanide in the presence of oxygen. 4 Au(s) + 8 NaCN(aq) + O2(g) + 2 H2O() 4 NaAu(CN)2(aq) + 4 NaOH(aq) (a) Name the oxidizing and reducing agents in this reaction. What has been oxidized, and what has been reduced? (b) If you have exactly one metric ton (1 metric ton = 1000 kg) of gold-bearing rock, what volume of 0.075 M NaCN, in liters, do you need to extract the gold if the rock is 0.019% gold?arrow_forwardSodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3, is used as a fixer in black-and-white photography. Suppose you have a bottle of sodium thiosulfate and want to determine its purity. The thiosulfate ion can be oxidized with I2 according to the balanced, net ionic equation I2(aq) + 2 S2O32(aq) 2 I(aq) + S4O62 (aq) If you use 40.21 mL of 0.246 M I2 in a titration, what is the weight percent of Na2S2O3 in a 3.232-g sample of impure material?arrow_forward
