In which of the following choices is the oxidation number incorrect?
Cl2(s); oxidation number = 1–
Fe3+(aq); oxidation number = 3+
Ni(s); oxidation number = 0 I–(aq); oxidation number = 1–
Cu+(aq); oxidation number = 1+

Cl2(s); oxidation number 1 is the incorrect choices in oxidation number.

Explanation:

In the elemental form oxidation state is zero. Here chlorine is present in elemental form so oxidation state is zero.

Oxidation number depends on the number of electrons gained or lost by an atom of the element say in compound formation.

If electron is gained oxidation number becomes negative.

If electron is lost then oxidation number is positive.

If the octet rule is fulfilled that valence shell is filled them atomic number gets zero. Since Cl2 is in neutral state the oxidation number is 0.

Oxidation number in general can be made out by checking the valency of the element as oxidation number is also equal to the valency.

1.consider the following balanced equation and answer parts a through. show calculations for each part.  

3 ag(s) + 4 hno3(aq) → 3 agno3(aq) + no(g) + 2 h2o(l)  

a. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 3 moles of ag with excess hno3. if the number to the left of the compound represents the number of moles of the compound which are present, then 3 moles of ag react with 4 moles hno3 to produce 3 moles agno3 (aq).

so the answer to a would be 3 moles.

b. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.  

i'm not sure how to plug in the grams of silver into an equation using moles to find how many moles are produced.

c. calculate the number of grams of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3  

d. calculate the number of moles of no produced as a byproduct of the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.  

e. calculate the number of grams of no produced as a byproduct starting with 108 grams of ag and excess hno3.  

explanation:

it would be a gas formation
