Chemistry

Rufina [12.5K]3 years ago

Redox reactions consist of reduction and oxidation reactions
oxidation reactions are the giving out of electrons, the oxidation number of the species giving out the electrons increases during oxidation 
reduction reactions are taking in electrons and the oxidation number of the species taking in electrons reduces after reduction
in the reaction Ca + Cl₂ --> CaCl₂
oxidation numbers of Ca in Ca - 0 and CaCl₂ - +2
oxidation numbers of Cl in Cl₂ - 0 and CaCl₂ - -1
oxidation number of Ca has increased from 0 to +2 therefore Ca is oxidised

How many nickel atoms are in a nickel coin with a mass of 3.95g
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

4.05 × 10²² atoms

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of nickel: 3.95 g

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 3.95 g of nickel

The molar mass of nickel is 58.69 g/mol.

3.95 g × (1 mol/58.69 g) = 0.0673 mol

Step 3: Calculate the atoms in 0.0673 moles of nickel

We will use Avogadro's number: there are 6.02 × 10²³ atoms of nickel in 1 mole of atoms of nickel.

0.0673 mol × (6.02 × 10²³ atoms/1 mol) = 4.05 × 10²² atoms
