Oxidation number of Fe in Fe2(CO3)2

+2

Explanation:

Oxidation number of an element, also called its oxidation state, is the number of electrons its atoms lost or gain in the process of forming a chemical compound.

To determine the oxidation state of an element or compound;

- The sum of all the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound must equal zero (0).

In the compound: Fe2(CO3)2

This compound is a neutral one, hence, its oxidation state is equal to zero (0).

It contains a polyatomic ion (carbonate ion) i.e. CO3 2-, whose net charge is -2.

Hence, to find the oxidation number of Iron (Fe), which is represented by X, in the compound, we say;

X(2) + -2(2) = 0

2X + -4 = 0

2X - 4 = 0

2X = 4

X = +2

Therefore, the oxidation number of Fe in Fe2(CO3)2 is (+2)

The compound Fe2(CO3)2 is called Iron (II) carbonate

explanation:

answer: the value of enthalpy change will be -152.80 kj.

solution:

pressure = 1atm , temperature = = 298 k

given that pressure and temperature are same in both gases , the number of moles of both gases can be determined by the ideal gas equation.

according to reaction 3 moles no are reacting with 1 mol of ,then 0.49 mol of no will react with moles of ozone that is 0.16 moles of ozone. since, no is limiting reagent and is an excessive reagent.

enthalpy change for the reaction between the given volumes of the gases is :
