Anonymous32 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 how do you form indium hydroxide using indium nitrate? the equation for fromation of indium nitrate is In +4HNO3 --> 2In(NO3)3 + NO +3H20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anonymous32 Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 I am very sorry that I did not give a full explanation. 1(a) (i) Oxidation state of indium: 3+ as indium is in group 3 ii)Equation for indium metal and dilute nitric acid: In(s) + 3HNO3 (aq) In(NO3)3 (aq) + 3/2H2 (g) (iii) Oxidised species: Reduced species: Oxidised: Indium Reduced: Hydrogen (iv) Equation for indium metal and conc. nitric acid: In(s) + 4HNO3 (aq) In(NO3)3 (aq) + NO + 2H2O(l) (v) Equation for formation of indium hydroxide: (vi) Equation for formation of indium oxide: (vii) Maximum mass of indium oxide: I have stated the whole question along with the answers for each part. From part v onwards, I am stuck. I believe this is a step-by-step process where we have to use the products from the previous reaction to solve the next part. However, I am confused how they expect us to write an equation using one compound. This question is from the Cambridge Chemistry Challenge. I am very sorry that I did not fully explain this question, but I hope this helps and any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypervalent_iodine Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I think you have still neglected to include context as some of those questions are not answerable as-is. Briefly: As written, your answer to 1 (a) i doesn’t make sense, or it is just incorrect. It doesn’t specify indium nitrate or metal, but I would read that to mean elemental indium. I assume there is more context here. Also, it is more correct to say it is in group 13 (group 3 is still accepted), but that does not mean the oxidation state is going to be 3+. In+ is also possible, for example. I would also add that saying hydrogen is reduced is not the best wording. Better to specify H+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floatingbook75 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 You need to neutralize a solution of nitrium nitrate or nitrium trichloride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
