Answer:

Explanation:

The oxidation number is an integer that represents the number of electrons that an atom receives or makes available to others when it forms a given compound.

The oxidation number is positive if the atom loses electrons, or shares them with an atom that has a tendency to accept them. And it will be negative when the atom gains electrons, or shares them with an atom that has a tendency to give them up.

Chemical compounds are electrically neutral. That is, the charge that all the atoms of a compound contribute must be globally null. That is, when having positive or negative charges in a compound, their sum must be zero.

There are some rules for determining oxidation numbers in compounds. Among them it is possible to mention:

  • Hydrogen (H) has an oxidation number +1 with nonmetals and - 1 with metals.
  • Oxygen (O) presents the oxidation number -2
  • Fluorine F has a unique oxidation state -1

Then:

  • NOF: N+(-2)+(-1)=0 → N=3 → oxidation number of  nitrogen (N) is +3, oxidation number of oxygen (O) is -2 and oxidation number of  fluorine (F) is -1.
  • ClF₅: Cl + 5*(-1)=0 → Cl= 5 → oxidation number of  chlorine (Cl) is +5 and oxidation number of  fluorine (F) is -1.
  • H₂SO₃: 2*(+1)+S+3*(-2)=0 → S=4 → oxidation number of hydrogen (H) is +1, oxidation number of oxygen (O) is -2 and oxidation number of sulfur (S) is +4.

Is air an element, compound or mixture? explain your answer
emmainna [20.7K]

It is a mixture because the compounds that make up air e.g. oxygen (o2), Carbon dioxide (co2) and the most important Nitrogen which is an element and makes up 78.09% of air are not chemically bound in the way that compounds are because they can be separated easily and there has been no change in state to any of the compounds or elements in air!hope this helpful!

Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides that have the same chemical formula, C6H12O6. However, they do not react the same chemi
wariber [46]
Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates. Although glucose and fructose have the same molecular formula they have different structures or the atoms are arranged differently from each other and this is evident in the way they react, behave and in their properties.

Element x reacts with oxygen to produce x2o3 in an experiment it is found that 1.0000 g of x produces 1.1xxx g of x2o3 what is t
8_murik_8 [283]

Since X is 1 g, therefore O must be 0.1 g. Therefore:

moles O = 0.1 g / (16 g / mol) = 0.00625 mol

 

We can see that for every 3 moles of O, there are 2 moles of X, therefore:

moles X = 0.00625 mol O (3 moles X / 2 moles O) = 0.009375 mol

 

Molar mass X = 1 g / 0.009375 mol

<span>Molar mass X = 106.67 g/mol</span>
