Minchanka [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer is: the oxidation number of oxygen must decrease.

Oxidizing agent is element (substance) that gain electrons in chemical reaction.

For example, balanced chemical reaction: C + O₂ → CO₂.

Oxygen change oxidation number from 0 to oxidation number -2 (reduction) and carbon change from 0 to +4 (oxidation)

A 365 L balloon is blown up inside at 283 K. It is then taken outside in the hot sun and Heated to 300K. What is the new volume?
asambeis [7]

V₁ = initial Volume of the balloon after it is blown up = 365 L

V₂ = new Volume of the balloon after it is taken outside = ?

T₁ = initial temperature of the balloon = 283 K

T₂ = new temperature of the balloon = 300 K

using the equation

V₁/V₂ = T₁/T₂

365/V₂ = 283/300

V₂ = 387 L

if you react 100g of ammonium chloride with excess calcium oxide, what Is the theoretical yeild (in grams) of ammonia? when you
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

31.78 grams

25.55%

Explanation:

The balanced reaction for ammonium chloride with calcium oxide will be:

2NH4Cl + Ca(OH)2 ---> CaCl2 + 2NH3 + 2H2O

The molecular weight for ammonium chloride(NH4Cl ) is 53.49g/mol, while the molecular weight for ammonium(NH3) is 17g/mol. The number of theoretical yield of ammonia from 100g of ammonium chloride will be:

100g / (53.49g/mol) * 2/2  * 17g/mol= 31.78 grams

If the actual yield is 8.12g, the percent yield will be: 8.12g/31.78g * 100% =25.55%

What is the difference between a mixture and compound
bonufazy [111]
A compound is made up of a single type of molecule. A mixture, on the other hand, is made up of different substances that can be distinguished from one another.
As an example:
Water (pure water) is a compound since it's only made up of water molecules
Seawater is a mixture since it is made up of water molecules and soluble salts
