As a sodium atom is oxidized the number of protons in its nucleus

Chemistry

lara31 [8.8K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The proton remains the same.

Explanation:

Oxidation is simply defined as the loss of electron(s) during a chemical reaction either by an atom, molecule or ion.

Oxidation is strictly on the transfer of electron(s) and not proton.

A metal that undergoes oxidation still has its protons intact otherwise it will not be called the ion of the metal since atomic number is called the proton number.

Sodium (Na) undergoes oxidation as follow:

Na —> Na+ + e-

Na is called sodium metal.

Na+ is called sodium ion.

Na has 11 electrons and 11 protons

Na+ has 10 electrons and 11 protons

From the above illustration, we can see that the protons of Na and Na+ are the same why their electrons differ because Na+ indicates that 1 electron has been loss or transferred.

Can someone help? I wasn't at school the day we did this and I don't understand.
Anton [14]
1) 2700 kg/l
2) 13.6 kg/l
3) 0.1578 kg
4) 8921.5 kg/m3
5) 1.59 kg/l
6) 1.84 kg/l
7) 0.21965 kg
8) 11331.9 kg/m3
9) 7.9167 kg/l
10) 238.095 cm3

Just divide the masses by volume to find out the density, multiply the volume with density to find out the mass and divide the mass by density to find out the volume.
To turn the result into SI unit (kg/l), divide the g by 1000 and ml by 1000.

33.23 grams of a thin sheet of iron is completely oxidized in 7 days. How would you express the rate of conversion of the silver
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

A. 0.0440 moles/day

Explanation:

First, let's figure out how many moles 33.23 grams of silver is. We do this by dividing the number of grams by the molar mass of silver, which is 107.87 g/mol:

33.23 g Ag ÷ 107.87 g/mol = 0.3081 mol Ag

Now, let's divide this by 7 to get the rate per day:

0.3081 mol Ag ÷ 7 days = 0.0440 mol/day

Thus, the answer is A.
