Answer:

A) CH4 and C8H18

Explanation:

General Formula for an Alkane = CnH2n+2

This means for every number of Carbon (C) atoms, there are twice as many Hydrogen (H) atoms with an additional two added onto that.

Therefore, if there is one Carbon Atom, and we multiply that by two, and then add an additional two, we get 4 Hydrogen atoms, so CH4, which is our first Formulae

Secondly, if we have eight Carbon Atoms, and we multiple that by two (16), and then add an additional two, we get 18 Hydrogen atoms, so C8H18, which is our second Formulae

The other Formulas do not follow this 'General Formula'

How many atoms of oxygen are represented in 3Fe(NO3)2?

nexus9112 [7]

There are 18. In each molecule of Fe(NO3)2 there are 6 oxygen atoms because you have 2 nitrate (NO3) components which each contain 3 oxygen atoms. 2 x 3 = 6. Because you have 3 molecules of Fe(NO3)2, you need to multiply 6 by 3, which gives you 18 oxygen atoms.

Which balanced equation represents a redox reaction? a. AgNO3(aq) +NaCl(aq) →AgCl(s) +NaNO3(aq) b. H2CO3(aq) →H2O() + CO2(g) c.

Aleks [24]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) $Mg(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(s)+H_2(g)$

Explanation :

(A) $AgNO_3(aq)+NaCl(aq)\rightarrow AgCl(s)+NaNO_3(aq)$

This reaction is a double displacement reaction in which the cation and anion of two reactants are exchange their places to give two different products.

(B) $H_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$

This reaction is a decomposition reaction in which the larger molecule decomposes to give two or more products.

(C) $NaOH(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(s)+H_2O(aq)$

This reaction is a neutralization reaction in which an acid and a base react to give a salt and water as a product.

(D) $Mg(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(s)+H_2(g)$

This reaction is a redox reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this oxidation state increases.

Reduction reaction is the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this oxidation state decreases.

In this reaction, magnesium shows oxidation due to change in oxidation number from (0) to (+2) and hydrogen shows reduction due to change in oxidation number from (-1) to (0).

Hence, the correct option is, (D)
