<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation state is the number which is assigned to an element when it gains or looses electrons. If the element gains electron, it will attain a negative oxidation state and if the element looses electrons, it will attain a positive oxidation state.

We take the oxidation state of iron atom be 'x'.

Oxidation state of oxygen atom = -2

Evaluating the oxidation state of iron atom in Fe_2O_3:

2x+3(-2)=0\\\\x=+3

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

Determine how many millilitres of a 4.25 M HCl solution are needed to react completely with 8.75 g CaCO3?
Helen [10]

Answer:

41 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Milliliter of HCl required = ?

Molarity of HCl solution = 4.25 M

Mass of CaCO₃ = 8.75 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2HCl + CaCO₃      →    CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

Number of moles of CaCO₃:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 8.75 g / 100.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.087 g /mol

Now we will compare the moles of  CaCO₃ with HCl.

                      CaCO₃         :          HCl

                          1               :            2

                      0.087           :         2/1×0.087 = 0.174 mol

Volume of HCl:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in L

4.25 M = 0.174 mol / volume in L

Volume in L = 0.174 mol /4.25 M

Volume in L = 0.041 L

Volume in mL:

0.041 L×1000 mL/ 1L

41 mL

The teacher made a 0.5M solution. How is this number read/said?
lukranit [14]

Answer:

It reads as follows: 0.5 moles of solute per liter of solution.

Explanation:

Molarity is the most frequent way of expressing the concentration of solutions in chemistry, and it indicates the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of solution; is represented by the letter M.

How important is the resonance structure shown here to the overall structure of carbon dioxide?
Tcecarenko [31]

1. Resonance structures are a better description of a Lewis dot structure .

2. Best resonance structure is the one with the least formal charge.


<u>EXPLAINATION OF RASONANCE STRUCTURE OF CARBON DIOXIDE</u>

1.Carbon dioxide has three resonance structures .

2. The CO2 molecule has a total of 16 valence electrons ,

  1C = 4 electrons

  2O= 12 electrons

<u>three resonance structures for  CO2</u>

1. The atoms in all three resonance structures have full octets;

 structure 1 will be more stable because it has no separation of charge.

2. Structures 2 and 3 show charge separation caused by the presence of formal charges on both oxygen atoms.
