To find the number of electrons, just subtract the amu and the atomic number (aka number of protons or electrons)...

so it is...

9-4=5 neutrons

Brainliest plz! :)

In which reaction does the oxidation number of hydrogen change? In which reaction does the oxidation number of hydrogen change?

dedylja [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is $2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2NaOH(aq.)+H_2(g)$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation number is defined as the number which is given to an atom when it looses or gains electron. When an atom looses electron, it attains a positive oxidation state. When an atom gains electron, it attains a negative oxidation state.

Oxidation state of the atoms in their elemental state is considered as 0. Hydrogen is present as gaseous state.

For the given chemical reactions:

<u>Reaction 1:</u> $2HClO_4(aq.)+CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow Ca(ClO_4)_2(aq.)+H_2O(l)+CO_2 (g)$

Oxidation state of hydrogen on reactant side: +1

Oxidation state of hydrogen on product side: +1

Thus, the oxidation state of hydrogen is not changing.

<u>Reaction 2:</u> $CaO(s)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2(s)$

Oxidation state of hydrogen on reactant side: +1

Oxidation state of hydrogen on product side: +1

Thus, the oxidation state of hydrogen is not changing.

<u>Reaction 3:</u> $HCl(aq.)+NaOH(aq.)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

Oxidation state of hydrogen on reactant side: +1

Oxidation state of hydrogen on product side: +1

Thus, the oxidation state of hydrogen is not changing.

<u>Reaction 4:</u> $2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2NaOH(aq.)+H_2(g)$

Oxidation state of hydrogen on reactant side: +1

Oxidation state of hydrogen on product side: 0

Thus, the oxidation state of hydrogen is changing.

<u>Reaction 5:</u> $SO_2(g)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq.)$

Oxidation state of hydrogen on reactant side: +1

Oxidation state of hydrogen on product side: +1

Thus, the oxidation state of hydrogen is not changing.

Hence, the correct answer is $2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2NaOH(aq.)+H_2(g)$

martha needs to determine the density of gasoline she has determined the mass to be 1250g and the volume to be 1500ml what is th

Dahasolnce [82]

We know that the equation for density is:

$D=\frac{m}{V}$

where D is the density, m is the mass in grams, and V is the volume.

Given two of the variables, we can then solve for density:

$D=\frac{1250g}{1500mL}=\frac{0.833g}{mL}$

Therefore, we now know that the density of the gasoline is 0.833g/mL.
