It is much better to use baking soda. Any acid that reacts with baking soda gives off carbon dioxide. Hence, you can see an endpoint through the fizzing. With this, you will know when to stop adding. If you use NaOH, you might add it to an acid that creates an exothermic reaction. For example, if the acid was sulfuric acid, it will create more heat which will lead to more unfortunate events. To be safe, you add baking soda to neutralize, then mix it with a bit of water.

Answer:

b.) Br and Br

Explanation:

A covalent bond occurs when electrons are shared between two atoms causing them to form a bond.

A "pure" covalent bond refers to a nonpolar covalent bond. In these bonds, the electrons are shared equally between two atoms as a result of the absence of an (or very small) electronegativity difference. The purest covalent bond would therefore be between two atoms of the same electronegativity. Two bromines (Br) have the same electronegativity, thus making it the purest covalent bond.

Polar covalent bonds occur when electrons are shared unequally between two atoms. There is a larger electronegativity difference between the two atoms, but not large enough to classify the bonds as ionic. In this case, a.) and c.) are polar covalent bonds and d.) is an ionic bond.

2NO + 3MnO2 + 4H â 2NO3- + 3Mn2 + 2H2O For the above redox reaction, assign oxidation numbers and use them to identify the eleme
mixer [17]

Answer:

Manganese decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and nitrogen increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given redox reaction, we rewrite it as a convenient first step:

2NO + 3MnO_2 + 4H^+ \rightarrow 2NO_3^- + 3Mn^{2+} + 2H_2O

Next, we assign the oxidation numbers as follows:

2N^{2+}O^{2-} + 3Mn^{4+}O^{-2}_2 + 4H^+ \rightarrow 2(N^{5+}O^{2-}_3)^- + 3Mn^{2+} + 2H^+_2O^{2-}

Thus, we can see that both manganese and nitrogen undergo a change in their oxidation number, the former decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and the latter increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).

Regards!

I have five less protons than the least massive metalloid in<br> the fourth period. Who am I?
exis [7]

Answer:

You are the Cobalt

Explanation:

The least massive metalloid in the fourth period is Germanium, and it have 32 protons. If you have 5 less protons: 32 - 5 = 27 protons. The element with 27 protons is Cobalt
