Answer:

Explanation:

Neutral atoms can be turned into positively charged ions by removing one or more electrons. A neutral sodium atom, for example, contains 11 protons and 11 electrons. By removing an electron from this atom we get a positively charged Na+ ion that has a net charge of +1.

Calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO3)2) Ca:H:C:O = 1:2:2 ___ Lithium sulfide (Li:2s) Li:S = 2:__
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: The ratio of atoms in calcium bicarbonate ; Ca : H : C : O = 1:2:2:6.

The ratio of atoms in lithium sulfide; Li : S = 2 : 1

Explanation:

In calcium bicarbonate:Ca(HCO_3)_2

In a molecular formula of calcium carbonate there are:

Number of Calcium atoms = 1

Number of Hydrogen atom = 1 × 2 = 2

Number of Carbon atoms = 1 × 2 = 2

Number of Oxygen atoms = 3 × 2 = 6

So, Ca : H : C : O = 1 : 2 : 2 : 6

In lithium sulfide :Li_2S

In a molecular formula of lithium sulfide there are:

Number of Lithium atoms =  1 × 2 = 2

Number of Sulfur atoms = 1

So, the Li : S = 2 : 1

which atom has a change in oxidation number of -3 in the following redox reaction K2Cr2O7 + H2O +S --> KOH + Cr2O3 +SO2
yaroslaw [1]
You have to calculate the oxidation estates of the atoms in each compound.

I will start with K2Cr2O7 because I believe that Cr is the best candidate to reduce its oxidation number in 3 units.

In K2Cr2O7:

- K has oxidation state of 1+, then K2 has a charge of 2* (1+) = 2+.

- O has oxidation state of 2*, then O7 has a charge of 7* (2-) = 14-.

That makes that Cr2 has charge of 14 - 2 = +12, so each Cr has +12/2 = +6 oxidation state.

In Cr2O3:

- O has oxidation state of 2-, then O3 has charge 3 * (2-) = - 6

- Then, Cr2 has charge 6+, and each Cr has charge 6+ / 2 = 3+.

So, we have seen that Cr reduced its oxidation state in 3 units, from 6+ to 3+.

Answer: Cr has a change in oxidation number of - 3.

Determine the volume, in liters, of 3.2 mol of CO2 gas at STP.
Allushta [10]

Answer:

71.7 L

Explanation:

Using the ideal gas equation;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/Kmol)

T = temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question;

P = 1 atm (STP)

V = ?

n = 3.2mol

T = 273K (STP)

Using PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 3.2 × 0.0821 × 273/1

V = 71.7 L
