Oxana [17]3 years ago

The oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The oxidation number of an atom is the charge that atom would have if the compound was composed of ions. 1. The oxidation number of an atom is zero in a neutral substance that contains atoms of only one element. The oxidation number of simple ions is equal to the charge on the ion.

The oxidation number of a mono atomic ion equals the charge of the ion. The oxidation number of H is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electro negative elements. The oxidation number of O in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides. The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

motikmotik

Answer:

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

Explanation:

Zn + HCl → ZnCl2 +

The complete equation is given below:

Zn+ HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

Now we can balance the equation by doing the following:

There are 2 atoms of Cl and 2 atoms of H on the left. This can be balanced by putting 2 in front of HCl as shown below:

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

Describe the three steps of solution formation. be sure to include the details regarding the dissolving of the substance
Elza [17]

The three steps involve;

Step 1: Separation/expansion of the solute particles

Step 2: Separation/expansion of the solvent particles

Step 3; Combining the solute and solvent particles


The first two steps are usually endothermic. Step 3, nonetheless, can be either exothermic or endothermic and is significant in determining whether the dissolving process will be endothermic or exothermic.
