Answer:
C. Its oxidation number increases.
Explanation:
- <em><u>Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons by an atom while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom</u></em>.
- Atoms of elements have an oxidation number of Zero in their elemental state.
- When an atom looses electrons it undergoes oxidation and its oxidation number increases.
- For example, <em><u>an atom of sodium (Na) at its elemental state has an oxidation number of 0. When the sodium atom looses an electrons it becomes a cation, Na+, with an oxidation number of +1 , the loss of electron shows an increase in oxidation number from 0 to +1.</u></em>
Answer:
D. Strong nuclear force, electrostatic force, weak nuclear force, gravitational force
Answer:
The activation energy for an endothermic reaction is quite large and usually takes extra energy from the environment, it is normally not a natural spontaneous process.
Explanation:
- Endothermic reactions require absorbing energy of the surrounding mainly in the form of heat.
- Chemical energy needs energy input to break the bonds.
- Examples of endothermic reactions: Photosynthesis
, melting of ice
, and evaporating liquid water.
The combustion reaction of octane is as follow,
C₈H₁₈ + 25/2 O₂ → 8 CO₂ + 9 H₂O
According to balance equation,
8 moles of CO₂ are released when = 114.23 g (1 mole) Octane is reacted
So,
6.20 moles of CO₂ will release when = X g of Octane is reacted
Solving for X,
X = (114.23 g × 6.20 mol) ÷ 8 mol
X = 88.52 g of Octane
Result:
88.52 g of Octane is needed to release 6.20 mol CO₂.
