<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.

If 4.168 kJ of heat is added to a calorimeter containing 75.40 g of water, the temperature of the water and the calorimeter incr
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The value of  the heat capacity of the Calorimeter  C_c = 54.4 \frac{J}{c}

Explanation:

Given data

Heat added Q = 4.168 KJ = 4168 J

Mass of water m_w = 75.40 gm

Temperature change = ΔT = 35.82 - 24.58 = 11.24 ° c

From the given condition

Q = m_w C_w ΔT + C_c ΔT

Put all the values in above equation we get

4168 = 75.70 × 4.18 × 11.24 +  C_c × 11.24

611.37 =  C_c × 11.24

C_c = 54.4 \frac{J}{c}

This is the value of  the heat capacity of the Calorimeter.

What determines the strength of an arrhenius base? give one example each of an aqueous solution of a strong base and an aqueous
IceJOKER [234]
The strength of an Arrhenius base determines percentage of ionization of base and the number of OH⁻ ions formed. 
Strong base completely ionize in water and gives a lot of hydroxide ions (OH⁻), for example sodium hydroxide: NaOH(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
Weak  base partially ionize in water and gives a few hydroxide ions (OH⁻), for example ammonia: NH₃ + H₂O(l) ⇄ NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
