Answer

1) Percentage of mass of Re in the following Oxides are as: $ReO_{2}$ = $85.3358% Re$ $ReO_{3}$ = $79.5063% Re$ $Re_{2}O_{3}$ = $88.5833% Re$ $Re_{2}O_{7}$ = $76.8804% Re$ 2) The charge on Re in $ReO_{2}$ is +4 The charge on Re in $ReO_{3}$ is +6 The charge on Re in $Re_{2}O_{3}$ is +3 The charge on Re in $Re_{2}O_{7}$ is +7 3) The increasing Order of charge is : $Re_{2}O_{3}$ $\lt$$ReO_{2}$$\lt$$ReO_{3}$$\lt$ $Re_{2}O_{7}$ 4) As the charge on Re increased, the % of Re in Rhenium oxide decreased.

Work Step by Step

1) Percentage of Re in each Compound: $ReO_{2}$ : % of Re =[ (Atomic Weight of Re)$\div$( Formula Weight of $ReO_{2}$ )]$\times$ 100 % of Re = [ (186.207 g) $\div$(218.205g)]$\times$100 % of Re = 85.3358 $ReO_{3}$: % of Re =[ (Atomic Weight of Re)$\div$( Formula Weight of $ReO_{3}$ )]$\times$ 100 % of Re = [ (186.207 g) $\div$(234.204g)]$\times$100 % of Re = 79.5063 $Re_{2}O_{3}$: % of Re =[ (2$\times$Atomic Weight of Re)$\div$( Formula Weight of $Re_{2}O_{3}$ )]$\times$ 100 % of Re = [ (372.414 g) $\div$(420.411g)]$\times$100 % of Re = 88.5833 $Re_{2}O_{7}$: % of Re =[ (2$\times$Atomic Weight of Re)$\div$( Formula Weight of $Re_{2}O_{7}$ )]$\times$ 100 % of Re = [ (372.414 g) $\div$(484.407g)]$\times$100 % of Re = 76.8804 2) Each compound is neutral and charge on oxygen is taken as -2. $ReO_{2}$ : 0 = 1(Charge on Re) + 2(Charge on O) 0= x + 2(-2) x = +4 $ReO_{3}$ : 0 = 1(Charge on Re) + 3(Charge on O) 0= x + 3(-2) x = +6 $Re_{2}O_{3}$ : 0 = 2(Charge on Re) + 3(Charge on O) 0= 2x + 3(-2) x = +3 $Re_{2}O_{7}$ : 0 = 2(Charge on Re) + 7(Charge on O) 0= 2x + 7(-2) x = +7 3) The increasing Order of charge is: $Re_{2}O_{3}$ (Re=+3)$\lt$$ReO_{2}$(Re=+4)$\lt$$ReO_{3}$(Re=+6)$\lt$ $Re_{2}O_{7}$(Re=+7) 4) As the charge on Re increased, the % of Re in Rhenium oxide decreased.
