Answer is (2) - hydrogen carbonate


<em>Explanation:</em>


NaHCO₃ is an ionic compound which is made from Na⁺ and HCO₃⁻ ions. The decomposition is

NaHCO₃ → Na⁺ + HCO₃⁻


Among the resulted ions, Na⁺ is a monatomic ion while HCO₃⁻ is a polyatomic ion.


<em>Polyatomic ions mean ions which are made of two or more different atoms.</em>


HCO₃⁻ is made from 3 atoms as H, C and O. The name of HCO₃⁻ ion is bicarbonate or hydrogen carbonate.

The half-reaction occurring at the cathode in the balanced reaction shown below is __________?2Ag(s) + 1/2 O2(g) + 2H+(aq) → 2Ag
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Correct choice are C and D (they are both, the same).

Explanation:

Cathode is the positive(+) electrode where a reduction occurs.

Reduction is the chemical reaction where the oxidation state is reduced.

2Ag(s) + 1/2 O2(g) + 2H+(aq) → 2Ag+(aq) + H2O (l)

A. 2H2O (l) → O2 (g) + 4H+ (aq) + 4e-

B. 2Ag (s) → 2Ag+ (aq) + 2e-

C. 1/2 O2 (g) + 2H+ (aq) + 2e- → H2O (l)

D. 1/2 O2 (g) + 2H+ (aq) + 2e- → H2O (l)

C or D, are ok. They are the same equation.

Oxygen from ground state reduce the oxidation state from 0 to -2

Which one of the following represents an acceptable set of quantum numbers for an electron in an atom? (arranged as n, l, ml, an
vfiekz [6]
First, since l = n-1,
5,4,-5,1/2 and 2,1,0,1/2 are the only answer choices left.
Next, since ml = -l to l,
2,1,0,1/2
is the answer because in 5,4,-5,1/2, the ml value of -5 is not in the range of -4 to 4, as notes by the value 4 for l.
