(a)
Interpretation:
The oxidation state of all atoms in methane should be assigned.
Concept introduction:
The
Oxidation is the process in which either loss of electrons, oxidation number increases, or loss of hydrogen atoms takes place. An element is oxidized, when oxidation number increases.
Reduction is the process in which either gain of electrons, oxidation number decreases, or gain of hydrogen atoms takes place. An element is reduced, when oxidation number decreases.
Oxidation state is also known as oxidation number. It is defined as the numbers which are assign to the elements in a chemical combination and number represents the electrons which an atom can share, lose or gain to form
Therefore, transfer of electrons refers to the oxidation state.
(b)
Interpretation:
The oxidation state of all atoms in carbonate ion (
Concept introduction:
The chemical reaction in which both oxidation and reduction process takes place is known as redox reaction. In this reaction, transfer of electrons takes place among the elements.

- 4.112 A metallurgical firm wishes to dispose of 1300 gallons of waste sulfuric acid whose molarity is 1.37 M. Before disposal, it will be reacted with calcium hydroxide (slaked lime), which costs $0.23 per pound. (a) Write the balanced chemical equation for this process. (b) Determine the cost that the firm will incur from this use of slaked lime.arrow_forwardCalcium in blood or urine can be determined by precipitation as calcium oxalate, CaC2O4. The precipitate is dissolved in strong acid and titrated with potassium permanganate. The equation for reaction is 2MnO4(aq)+6H+(aq)+5H2C2O4(aq)2Mn2+(aq)+10CO2(g)+8H2O A 24-hour urine sample is collected from an adult patient, reduced to a small volume, and titrated with 26.2 mL of 0.0946 M KMnO4. How many grams of calcium oxalate are in the sample? Normal range for Ca2+ output for an adult is 100 to 300 mg per 24 hour. Is the sample within the normal range?arrow_forwardThe iron content of hemoglobin is determined by destroying the hemoglobin molecule and producing small water-soluble ions and molecules. The iron in the aqueous solution is reduced to iron(II) ion and then titrated against potassium permanganate. In the titration, iron(ll) is oxidized to iron(III) and permanganate is reduced to manganese(II) ion. A 5.00-g sample of hemoglobin requires 32.3 mL of a 0.002100 M solution of potassium permanganate. The reaction with permanganate ion is MnO4(aq)+8H+(aq)+5Fe2+(aq)Mn2+(aq)+5Fe3+(aq)+4H2O What is the mass percent of iron in hemoglobin?arrow_forward
- The vanadium in a sample of ore is converted to VO2+. The VO2+ ion is subsequently titrated with MnO4 in acidic solution to form V(OH)4+ and manganese(II) ion. The unbalanced titration reaction is MnO4(aq)+VO2++(aq)+H2O(l)V(OH)4+(aq)+Mn2+(aq)+H+(aq) To titrate the solution, 26.45 mL of 0.02250 M MnO4 was required. If the mass percent of vanadium in the ore was 58.1 %, what was the mass of the ore sample?
