Answer : The oxidation-reduction reactions are:

I. reaction of a metal with a nonmetal

II. synthesis

III. combustion

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

I. Reaction of a metal with a nonmetal :

When sodium react with chlorine gas then it react to give sodium chloride.

2Na+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl

In this reaction, the oxidation state of sodium changes from (0) to (+1) and shows oxidation and the oxidation state of chlorine changes from (0) to (-1) and shows reduction. So, It is an oxidation-reduction reaction.

II. Synthesis reaction :

A chemical reaction where multiple substances or reactants combine to form a single product.

When hydrogen react with oxygen then it react to give water.

2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

In this reaction, the oxidation state of hydrogen changes from (0) to (+1) and shows oxidation and the oxidation state of oxygen changes from (0) to (-2) and shows reduction. So, It is an oxidation-reduction reaction.

III. Combustion reaction :

A chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reaction with the oxygen to give product as carbon dioxide and water.

When methane react with oxygen gas then it react to give carbon dioxide and water.

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

In this reaction, the carbon of methane gain oxygen and shows oxidation and the oxygen gas gain hydrogen and shows reduction. So, It is an oxidation-reduction reaction.

IV. Precipitation reaction :

It is defined as the reaction in which an insoluble salt formed when two aqueous solutions are combined.

The insoluble salt that settle down in the solution is known an precipitate.

It is a double displacement reaction. So, it is not an oxidation-reduction reaction.

V. Decomposition reaction :

A chemical reaction in which the the larger molecule decomposes to give two or more smaller molecules.

The oxidation state remains same on reactant and product side. So, it is not an oxidation-reduction reaction.

You are performing an experiment in a lab to attempt a new method of producing pure elements from compounds. The only problem is
Verdich [7]

You need to calculate the atomic weight of that element.

number of moles = mass / atomic weight

atomic weight = mass / number of moles

atomic weight = 209.1 / 3 = 69.7 g/mol

The element produced will be gallium, Ga.

How many molecules are present in 1 teaspoon of sucrose if its mass is 4.10g? show your work
frozen [14]
4.10 g C12H22O11 * ( 1 mol / 342.2965 g ) * ( 6.022x10^23 / 1 mol ) = <span>7.2107077x10^21 molecules = 7.21x10^21 molecules

Convert grams to moles using the molar mass ( g/mol ).

Use Avogadro's constant ( 6.022x10^23 ) to get the quantity of molecules from the amount of moles.

Revise answer to have the correct number of significant figures ( the smallest amount of digits in any number in the problem is the amount of significant figures your answer should have ).</span>

How many carbon atoms are present in a 10.0g sample of C3H8
balu736 [363]

Answer:

4.09ₓ10²³ atoms are contained in 10g of C₃H₈

Explanation:

1 mol of C₃H₈ has 3 mol of carbon and 8 mol of hydrogen.

1 mol of C₃H₈ weighs 44 g

In 44 g of C₃H₈ we have 3 mol of C

In 10 g of C₃H₈ we'll have (10 . 3)/ 44 = 0.681 mol

1 mol of C has NA (6.02x10²³) particles

0.681 mol will have (0.681 . 6.02x10²³) = 4.09ₓ10²³ atoms
