Interpretation:
The oxidation state for each atom in the given compound is to be assigned.
Concept information:
The oxidation state of a substance is defined as the transfer of electrons in a chemical compound or as a charge which an atom of the element has in its ion or appears to have when present in the combined state with other atoms.
It can either be zero, positive or negative. An atom which gains electron has a negative value of oxidation state and atom which loses has a positive oxidation state.
The oxidation state of an atom in Free State is zero.
The oxidation state of a monatomic ion is equal to the charge on the ion.
In the compounds, the overall oxidation state of a neutral atom is zero.
Each group possess a particular oxidation state. The oxidation state of group I is +1, group II is +2, group 5A or group 15 is −3, group 6A or group 16 is −2 and group 7A or group 17 is −1.
In the compounds, the overall oxidation state of a neutral atom is zero.
In complex ions, the sum of oxidation numbers of all atoms in the ions is equal to the charge on the ion.

- The photolysis of H3C–N=N–C2H5 involves the breaking of the single bonds shown. According to this, in addition to N2, what products would be obtained primarily if the reaction were carried out in the gas phase or in solution in an inert solvent?arrow_forwardGiven a keto-enol tautomerization reaction, which is greatly influenced by the type of solvent, indicate which of the following solvent properties cannot be considered a "solvent effect"?(A) Dielectric constant(B) Polarity(C) Hydrogen bonding capacity(D) Temperaturearrow_forwardIn solution reactions, what does "solvent effect" mean?arrow_forward
- How to solvearrow_forwardIndicate the concentration and ionic strength ranges to which the Debye-Huckel equation can be applied. And the Davies equation?arrow_forwardIf the ionic strength (I) of a solution is very low, the Debye-Huckel equation is used. If I is higher, the Davies equation is used. What is the correct value for I to use one or the other?arrow_forward
- In both the Debye-Huckel equation and the Davies equation, there is a constant A. I see that sometimes it appears as 0.51 and other times as 1.02. Explain why one or the other value is used.arrow_forwardThe two equations are forms of the Davies equation, used in thermodynamics for activity coefficients: ال log Y₁ = -Az² - 0,31 log = Az² - 0,31 1 + √Ĩ 1 + √√ k These equations are consistent and imply that Yi = Is this last equation correct? karrow_forwardThe two equations are forms of the Davies equation, used in thermodynamics for activity coefficients: ال log Y₁ = -Az² - 0,31 log = Az² - 0,31 1 + √Ĩ 1 + √√ k These equations are consistent and imply that Yi = Is this last equation correct? karrow_forward
