There are 6 electrons in the atom of a carbon.
The first atomic level will be occupied by 2 electrons while the second will be occupied by 4 electrons.

Based on this, the outer valence shell of carbon (which is L shell) will be occupied by 4 electrons.

Helga [31]

Answer: 30.978

Explanation:

From the equation 2 moles of Fe will result in 3 moles copper

so .325 moles Fe will result in .4875 moles Cu

Cu weights 63.546 gm per mole

.4875 moles * 63.546 gm / mole = 30.978 gm of Cu

Given the reaction for the nickel-cadmium battery: 2NiOOH + Cd +2H2O -> 2Ni(OH)2 + Cd(OH)2 What species is oxidized during th
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Cd is oxidized during the discharge of the battery

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2 NiOOH + Cd + 2H₂O → 2Ni(OH)₂ + Cd(OH)₂

And knowing Oxygen and hydrogen never change its charge, we must to find oxidation state of Ni and Cd before and after the reaction:

<em>Ni:</em>

In NiOOH: 2 O = -2*2 = -4 + 1H = +1, = -4 + 1 = -3. And as the molecule is neutral, Ni is 3+

In Ni(OH)₂: OH = -1. As there are 2 OH = -2. That means Ni is +2

The Ni is gaining one electron, that means is been reduced

<em>Cd:</em>

Cd before reaction is as pure solid with oxidation state = 0

Cd after the reaction is as Cd(OH)₂: 2 OH = -2. That means Cd is +2

The Cd is loosing 2 electrons, that means is the species that is oxidized.
