Elemental composition

Find the elemental composition for hydrochloride sesquihydrate in terms of the atom and mass percents: atom percent = N_i/N_atoms × 100% mass percent = (N_im_i)/m × 100% Plan: • Write the chemical formula and gather atomic masses from the periodic table. • Determine values for N_i, m_i, N_atoms and m using these items. • Finally, compute the percents and check the results. Write the chemical formula: Cl_2H_8O_3 Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element and find the total number of atoms, N_atoms, per molecule:  | number of atoms  O (oxygen) | 3  Cl (chlorine) | 2  H (hydrogen) | 8  N_atoms = 3 + 2 + 8 = 13 Divide each N_i by N_atoms to calculate atom fractions. Then use the property that atom fractions must sum to one to check the work:  | number of atoms | atom fraction  O (oxygen) | 3 | 3/13  Cl (chlorine) | 2 | 2/13  H (hydrogen) | 8 | 8/13 Check: 3/13 + 2/13 + 8/13 = 1 Compute atom percents using the atom fractions:  | number of atoms | atom percent  O (oxygen) | 3 | 3/13 × 100% = 23.1%  Cl (chlorine) | 2 | 2/13 × 100% = 15.4%  H (hydrogen) | 8 | 8/13 × 100% = 61.5% Look up the atomic mass, m_i, in unified atomic mass units, u, for each element in the periodic table:  | number of atoms | atom percent | atomic mass/u  O (oxygen) | 3 | 23.1% | 15.999  Cl (chlorine) | 2 | 15.4% | 35.45  H (hydrogen) | 8 | 61.5% | 1.008 Multiply N_i by m_i to compute the mass for each element.

Elemental oxidation states

The first step in finding the oxidation states (or oxidation numbers) in hydrochloride sesquihydrate is to draw the structure diagram. Next set every oxidation number equal to the atom's formal charge:  In hydrochloride sesquihydrate hydrogen is not bonded to a metal with lower electronegativity, so it will have an oxidation state of +1. Any element bonded to hydrogen gains the bonding electrons, decreasing their oxidation state by 1 for every bond:  Now summarize the results: Answer: |   | oxidation state | element | count  -2 | O (oxygen) | 3  -1 | Cl (chlorine) | 2  +1 | H (hydrogen) | 8
