Determine the oxidation number of each atom in \(\mathrm{COCl}_{2} .\)
What name is given to an electrode at which oxidation occurs? at which reduction occurs?
Using a voltmeter from home or one bor- rowed from your teacher, devise a method of measuring the voltage of a flashlight battery while it is delivering power to the bulb. Compare that voltage with that of a new bat- tery. Also record the voltage as the battery "runs down." Write a report on your results.
Carpentry nails are steel, but some are plated with a second metal. Obtain a variety of nails and evaluate their tendency to rust by laying them on a piece of cloth moistened by water containing salt and vinegar, so they are exposed both to the liquid and to air. After two weeks, report your findings.
How does the oxidation number of an atom of Mn change in the reaction below? $$\begin{array}{r}{4 \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}(a q)+\mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-}(a q)+8 \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}(a q)+} \\ {15 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{P}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{7}^{2-}(a q) \rightarrow 12 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)+} \\\ {\quad 5 \mathrm{Mn}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{P}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{7}\right)_{3}^{3-}(a q)}\end{array}$$
