Could someone explain what oxidation numbers are and what these questions are asking of me?

Chemistry

Oxana [17]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Covalent compounds are generally not very hard. Justify the statement.
Eduardwww [97]

Covalent compounds are generally not very hard because they are formed by two or more nonmetallic atoms.

<h3>COVALENT COMPOUNDS:</h3>

Covalent compounds are compounds whose constituent elements are joined together by covalent bonds.

Covalent bonding occurs when two or more nonmetallic atoms of an element share valence electrons. This means that covalent compounds will not be physically hard since they constitute non-metals.

Examples of covalent compounds are:

  1. H2 - hydrogen
  2. H2O - water
  3. HCl - hydrogen chloride
  4. CH4 - methane

Why is it difficult to determine earth's inner structure
Lesechka [4]
It is hard because we can't get past the crust, Our machines will burn up at the mantle and so will we. The layers go: crust, mantle, outer core, inner core.

A water sample has a pH of 8.2 and a bicarbonate concentration of 97 mg/L. What is the alkalinity of the sample in moles/L and i
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:6.94

Explanation:

Molar mass of CaCO3=40+12+16×3

=40+12+48=100g/mol

Moles=mass of substance/molar mass

=97mg/100g=0.097/100=0.00097moles/L.

PH=-log[CaCo3]=-log(0.00097)=6.94

P.s it's log to base e

when 45 grams of copper (ii) carbonate are decomposed with heat how many grams of carbon dioxide will be produced
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

16.02 g

Explanation:

the balanced equation for the decomposition of CuCO₃ is as follows

CuCO₃ --> CuO + CO₂

molar ratio of CuCO₃ to CO₂ is 1:1

number of CuCO₃ moles decomposed - 45 g / 123.5 g/mol = 0.364 mol

according to the molar ratio

1 mol of CuCO₃ decomposes to form 1 mol of CO₂

therefore 0.364 mol of  CuCO₃ decomposes to form 0.364 mol of CO₂

number of CO₂ moles produced - 0.364 mol

therefore mass of CO₂ produced - 0.364 mol x 44 g/mol = 16.02 g

16.02 g of CO₂ produced
