The oxidation numbers for Nitrogen are respectively -3, +5, +4
julia-pushkina [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The oxidation number are

NH₃: -3

HNO₃ : +5

NO₂ : +4

Explanation:

The oxidation number is calculated considering that

a) oxidation number of hydrogen is +1 in all compounds except hydrides

b) oxidation number of oxygen is -2 in all compound except peroxides, superoxides and compound of fluorine.

a) NH₃ : let the oxidation number of nitrogen is "x"

x + 3 (+1) = 0

Therefore x = -3

b) HNO₃

Let the oxidation number of nitrogen is "x"

+1 + x +3(-2) = 0

x = -5.

c) NO₂

Let oxidation number of nitrogen ix "x"

x + 2(-2)= 0

x = +4

How much thermal energy is in 100 grams of water at 50 degrees Celsius
Ymorist [56]
when the thermal energy is the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature.  

and when the thermal energy  is can be determined by this formula:

q = M * C *ΔT

when q  is the thermal energy

and M is the mass of water = 100 g 

and C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 joules/gram.°C

and T is the difference in Temperature = 50 °C

So by substitution:

∴ q = 100 g * 4.18 J/g.°C * 50

   = 20900 J  = 20.9 KJ
