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.

A mixture of 454 kg of applesauce at 10 degrees Celsius is heated in a heat exchanger by adding 121300 kJ. Calculate the outlet

stira [4]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Mass of apple sauce mixture = 454 kg

Heat added (Q) = 121300 kJ

Heat capacity ( $C_{p}$ ) of apple sauce at $32.8^{o}C$ = 4.0177 $kJ/kg^{o}C$

So, Heat given by heat exchanger = heat taken by apple sauce

Q = $mC_{p} \Delta T$

or, Q = $mC_{p} (T_{f} - T_{i})$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

Q = $mC_{p} (T_{f} - T_{i})$

121300 kJ = $454 kg \times 4.0177 kJ/kg^{o}C \times (T_{f} - 10)$

$T_{f}$ = $76.5^{o}C$

Thus, we can conclude that outlet temperature of the apple sauce is $76.5^{o}C$ .

Consider the reaction.

N76 [4]

Answer: m = 50 g ZnSO4

Explanation: First is convert the moles of Zn to the moles of ZnSO4 by having their mole ratio which is 2:2 based from the balanced equation. Next is convert the moles of ZnSO4 to mass using its molar mass.

0.311 mole Zn x 2 moles ZnSO4 / 2 moles Zn

= 0.311 moles ZnSO4

0.311 moles ZnSO4 x 161 g ZnSO4 / 1 mole ZnSO4

= 50 ZnSO4
