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.

How many grams of carbon are contained in 2.25 g of potassium carbonate, K2CO3
romanna [79]

The mass of carbon contained in 2.25 g of potassium carbonate, K₂CO₃ is 0.196 g.

<h3>Molecular mass of potassium carbonate</h3>

The molecular mass of potassium carbonate, K₂CO₃ is calculated as follows;

M = K₂CO₃

M = (39 x 2) + (12) + (16 x 3)

M = 138 g

mass of carbon in potassium carbonate, K₂CO₃ is = 12 g

The mass of carbon contained in 2.25 g of potassium carbonate, K₂CO₃ is calculated as follows;

138 g ------------ 12 g of carbon

2.25 g ------------ ?

= (2.25 x 12) / 138

= 0.196 g

Thus, the mass of carbon contained in 2.25 g of potassium carbonate, K₂CO₃ is 0.196 g.

How does the appearance of<br> the protist differ from that of the onion sample?
lana [24]

The appearance of the protist differ from that of the onion sample due to the presence of motile structures.

<h3>What is a Protist?</h3>

This is an eukaryote which could be unicellular or multicellular and examples include protozoa etc.

The major difference between a protist and onion sample is that protists have motile structures such as flagella, cilia etc while plant cells such as onions don't have.
