Explain the following observations: (a) \(\mathrm{HNO}_{3}\) is a stronger oxidizing agent than \(\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}\) - b) Silicon can form an ion with six fluorine atoms, \(\mathrm{SiF}_{6}{ }^{2-}\), whereas carbon is able to bond to a maximum of four, \(\mathrm{CF}_{4}\). (c) There are three compounds formed by carbon and hydrogen that contain two carbon atoms each \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2}, \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4}\right.\), and \(\left.\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}\right)\), whereas silicon forms only one analogous compound \(\left(\mathrm{Si}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}\right)\).
Write the chemical formula for each of the following compounds, and indicate the oxidation state of the halogen or noble-gas atom in each: (a) chlorate ion, (b) hydroiodic acid, (c) iodine trichloride, (d) sodium hypochlorite, (e) perchloric acid, (f) xenon tetrafluoride.
Manganese silicide has the empirical formula MnSi and melts at \(1280^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). It is insoluble in water but does dissolve in aqueous HF. (a) What type of compound do you expect MnSi to be: metallic, molecular, covalent- network, or ionic? (b) Write a likely balanced chemical equation for the reaction of \(\mathrm{MnSi}\) with concentrated aqueous HF.
Write a balanced equation for the preparation of \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\) using (a) \(\mathrm{Mg}\) and an acid, (b) carbon and steam, (c) methane and steam.
Carbon forms an unusual unstable oxide of formula \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}\), called carbon suboxide. Carbon suboxide is made by using \(\mathrm{P}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{5}\) to dehydrate the dicarboxylic acid called malonic acid, which has the formula \(\mathrm{HOOC}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{COOH}\). (a) Write a balanced reaction for the production of carbon suboxide from malonic acid. (b) How many grams of carbon suboxide could be made from \(20.00 \mathrm{~g}\) of malonic acid? (c) Suggest a Lewis structure for \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) - (Hint: The Lewis structure of malonic acid suggests which atoms are connected to which.) (d) By using the information in Table 8.5, predict the \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C}\) and \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}\) bond lengths in \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}\). (e) Sketch the Lewis structure of a product that could result by the addition of \(2 \mathrm{~mol}\) of \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\) to \(1 \mathrm{~mol}\) of \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) -
