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.

Convert 4.5 X 1022 molecules of H2O to moles.
noname [10]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.075 moles</h3>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L}  \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{4.5 \times  {10}^{22} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\  = 0.074750830...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.075 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

A student has a piece of aluminum metal what is the most reasonable assumption a student can make about the metal
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

<h2>- It could be stretched into a thin wire.</h2>

Explanation:

As per the question, the most rational claim that the student can make about the aluminum metal is that 'it could be stretched into a thin wire' without breaking which shows its ductility. It is one of the most significant characteristics of a metal. Metals can conduct electricity in any state and not only when melted. Thus, option A is wrong. Options C and D are incorrect as metals neither have the same shape always nor do they break on hitting with a hammer. Therefore, <u>option E</u> is the correct answer.
