In Na2O, what is the oxidation state of oxygen? In Na2O oxidation state of Na is 1+
I would think that the answer would be three
Because of the prefix tri- in "tigonal"
Tri- means 3, as in tricycle or triangle
So, it would make sense for the answer to be 3
Explanation:
Yes, a chemical reaction can happen with only one substance.
A typical example of such reaction is the radioactive decay.
Radioactive decay is the loss of elementary particles from an unstable nucleus, ultimately changing the unstable element into another more stable element. .
When radioactive elements are let alone, they decompose to form stable harmless elements.
An example of radioactive decay is attached in the image below;
Answer:
mass of water in hydrate = 2.37 grams
Explanation:
The mass of the hydrated cobalt (III) chloride is the summation of the salt and the water it contains.
This means that:
Total mass of sample = mass of salt + mass of water
Now, we are given that:
total mass of sample = 5.22 grams
mass of salt = mass of sample after heating = 2.85 grams
Substitute to get the mass of water as follows:
5.22 = mass of water in hydrate + 2.85
mass of water in hydrate = 5.22 - 2.85
mass of water in hydrate = 2.37 grams
Hope this helps :)
