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.

erik [133]
We are given with the mass of  pure iron that reacts with oxygen to form an oxide which has a given mass as well. the mass of oxygen reacted is 8.15-6.25 g or 1.9 grams. THen we convert the mass of the reactants to moles. Iron is equal to 0.1119 moles and oxygen is equal to 0.1188. We divide each number to the less amount. Hence iron is 1 and oxygen is approx 1. The empirical formula hence is FeO or ferrous oxide or Iron (II) oxide.

Aqueous hydrobromic acid hbr will react with solid sodium hydroxide naoh to produce aqueous sodium bromide nabr and liquid water
Natalka [10]
 Balanced equation is

HBr + NaOH ----> NaBr + H2O

Using molar masses

80.912 g HBr reacts with  39.997 g of Naoh to give 18.007 g water

so 1 gram of NaOH reacts with 2.023 g of HBR   
and 5.7 reacts with 11.531 g HBr so we have excess HBr in this reaction

Mass  of water produced  =    (5.7 * 18.007 / 39.997  =  2.6 g to 2 sig figs
