Answer:+3
Explanation: You have to find the oxidation number of N which is +3.
The answer is Strontium(Sr). The reactive increase from right to left. And this element has two valence electrons. So Rb is not correct. Then the very reactive metal is Sr.
From the periodic table:
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of chlorine = 35.5 grams
Therefore,
molar mass of <span>c17h22clno4 = 17(12) + 22(1) + 35.5 + 14 + 4(16) = 339.5 grams
number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles = (23*10^-3) / (339.5)
number of moles = 6.77 * 10^-5 moles
number of atoms = number of moles * Avogadro's number
number of atoms = 6.77*10^-5 * 6.022*10^-23
number of atoms = 4.079 * 10^-27 atoms</span>
The answer is D) wood decaying
