<span>C. The number of electrons the element needs to lose or gain to have a full valence shell</span>
jekas [21]3 years ago
7 0

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation state is defined as the number which is given to an atom when it looses or gains electron. It is written as a superscript.

When an atom looses electron, it will attain a positive oxidation state and when an atom gains electron, it will attain a negative oxidation state.

An atom looses or gains electron to attain stability and to fill their valence shell.

<u>For Example:</u>

  • Oxygen atom will gain 2 electrons and will form O^{2-} ion having oxidation state of -2.
  • Sodium atom will loose 1 electron and form Na^+ ion having oxidation state of +1.

Thus, the correct answer is Option C.

You want to know how many moles of gas your lungs can hold. You start off with a balloon that has 1.4 moles of gas and occupies
Mrrafil [7]

Number of moles : n₂ = 1.775 moles

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Moles = n₁ = 1.4

Volume = V₁=22.4 L

V₂=28.4 L

Required

Moles-n₂

Solution

Avogadro's hypothesis, at the same temperature and pressure, the ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles  

The ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles

\tt \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{n_1}{n_2}

Input the values :

n₂ = (V₂ x n₁)/V₁

n₂ = (28.4 x 1.4)/22.4

n₂ = 1.775 moles

When the glucose solution described in part A is connected to an unknown solution via a semipermeable membrane, the unknown solu
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The unknown solution had the higher concentration.

Explanation:

When two solutions are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, depending on the concentration gradient between the two solutions, there is a tendency for water molecules to move across the semi-permeable in order to establish an equilibrium concentration between the two solutions. This movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane in response to a concentration gradient is known as osmosis. In osmosis, water molecules moves from a region of lower solute concentration or higher water molecules concentration to a region of higher solute concentration or lower water molecules concentration until equilibrium concentration is attained.

Based on the observation that when the glucose solution described in part A is connected to an unknown solution via a semipermeable membrane, the unknown solution level rises, it means that water molecules have passed from the glucose solution through the semipermeable membrane into the unknown solution. Therefore, the solution has a higher solute concentration than the glucose solution.
