The oxidation state of a pure element is always zero.

The oxidation state for a pure ion is equivalent to its ionic charge.

What is oxidation state?

The oxidation state or oxidation number, is the hypothetical charge of an atom if all of its bonds to different atoms were fully ionic. The oxidation state may be positive, negative or zero.

What are the rules to write the oxidation number?

1. The atoms in pure elements have oxidation number of ZERO.

2. The more-electronegative element in a binary molecular compound is assigned the number equal to the negative charge it would have as an anion. The less-electronegative element is assigned the number equal to the positive charge it would have as a cation.

3. Fluorine always has an oxidation number of -1 in compounds because it is the most electronegative element.

4. Oxygen is usually -2 unless in peroxides (then it is -1) or with fluorine.

5. Hydrogen has +1 in all compounds containing elements that are more electronegative than it, and is -1 in compounds with metals.

6. The algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

7. The algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

8. Although rules 1-7 apply to covalently bonded atoms, oxidation numbers can also be assigned to atoms in ionic compound. Monoatomic ions have oxidation numbers equal to their ionic charge.

How many Joules of heat would be required
mote1985 [20]

Heat would be required  : 1,670 J

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass of H₂O=5 g

Required

Heat to melt

Solution

The heat to change the phase can be formulated :

Q = m.Lf (melting/freezing)

Lf=latent heat of fusion

The heat of fusion for water at 0 °C : 334 J/g

Input given values in formula :

\tt Q=5\times 334=\boxed{\bold{1,670~J}}

How many molecules of O2 are in 153.9 g O2?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

2.895*10^24

Explanation:

mass of Oxygen give = 153.9g

molar mass of O2 molecule = 16*2=32g/mol

n= mole

To find the mole

n= mass/ molar mass

n= 153.9/32

n=4.81mol.

To find the number of molecules of o

Nm= number of molecule

Nn = Number of mole

NA = number of Avogados

Nm= Nn * NA

Nm= 4.81 *6.02*10^23

Nm= 2.895*10^24

Need help please it must be right thank u
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

13. c) Net

14. a) Gravity

15. d) Watt

16. b) the speed will suddenly decrease.

Explanation:

13. The <u>net </u> force is combination of all individual forces.

14. When we sit on the chair , then <u>gravitational force</u> acts on our body due to our mass.

F = mg

here, F = force due to gravity , g = acceleration due to gravity  and m= mass of the body

15.Power : It is the force acting per unit area .It is discovered by James Watt

Power =\frac{force}{area}

Power =\frac{N}{m^{2}}

Its unit is Nm^{-2} .In honor of the Scientist , its unit is Watt.

Watt = Nm^{-2}

16. When the parachute first opens , the <u>speed of the skydiver suddenly decreases</u> because of the resistance offered by the air particles.(For more details look at the figure attached)

17. Transfer of momentum from one object to other is t<u>he law of conservation of momentum</u><u> </u>(NOT ENERGY).So the answer is<u> </u><u>False</u>

<u> Law of Conservation of Momentum : </u> Total momentum of a system is conserved if no external force attack on it. Momentum can neither be created nor destroyed but transferred from one form to other.
