Answer:

C. Its oxidation number increases.

Explanation:

  • <em><u>Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons by an atom while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom</u></em>.
  • Atoms of elements have an oxidation number of Zero in their elemental state.
  • When an atom looses electrons it undergoes oxidation and its oxidation number increases.
  • For example, <em><u>an atom of sodium (Na) at its elemental state has an oxidation number of 0. When the sodium atom looses an electrons it becomes a cation, Na+, with an oxidation number of +1 , the loss of electron shows an increase in oxidation number from 0 to +1.</u></em>

Answer:

When oxidation occurs, an element loses electrons and its oxidation number increases (becomes more positive). When reduction occurs, an element gains electrons and its oxidation number decreases or is reduced (becomes more negative).

The boiling point elevation of an aqueous sucrose solution is found to be 0.39°C.
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

130.4 grams of sucrose, would be needed to dissolve in 500 g of water.

Explanation:

Colligative property of boiling point elevation:

ΔT = Kb . m . i

In this case, i = 1 (sucrose is non electrolytic)

ΔT = Kb . m

0.39°C = 0.512°C/m . m

0.39°C /0.512 m/°C = m

0.762 m (molality means that this moles, are in 1kg of solvent)

If in 1kg of solvent, we have 0.712 moles of sucrose, in 500 g, which is the half, we should have, the hallf of moles, 0.381 moles

Molar mass sucrose = 342.30 g/m

Molar mass . moles = mass

342.30 g/m . 0.381 m = 130.4 g

MrMuchimi

Answer: the answer would be D

Explanation:In passive solar building design, windows, walls, and floors are made to collect, store, reflect, and distribute solar energy in the form of heat in the winter and reject solar heat in the summer. an example of this would be a green house in the winter the sun is still out but the windows keep out the cold air so the sun just heats up the air inside
