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).

Which of the following is a characteristic of mixtures? A. Mixtures can only be in solid and liquid form. B. Substances that are
Taya2010 [7]

The correct choice is B.  

Mixtures retain their properties because science has proven it. Take a bag of trail mix for example. Those raisins and marshmallows and m&m’s can each be separated. When you take them out, they keep their same texture.  

 

Is not correct because mixtures can be solids (Trail mix is one example)  

Correct  

Is not correct because sometimes it cannot be seen (Lemonade powder and water is one example)  

Is not correct because trail mix is an example.

Use the following equation to answer the questions below:
Gala2k [10]

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given as;

Be + 2HCl → BeCl2 + H2

What is the mass of beryllium required to produce 25.0g of beryllium chloride?

1 mol of Be produces 1 mol of BeCl2

Converting to mass;

Mass = Molar mass  *  Number of moles

9.01g of Be produces 79.92g of BeCl2

xg of Be produces 25g of BeCl2

Solving for x;

x = 25 * 9.01 / 79.92

x = 2.82 g

What is the mass of hydrochloric acid required to produce 25.0g of beryllium chloride? g

Converting 25.0g of beryllium chloride to moles;

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass

Number of moles = 25 / 79.92 = 0.3128 mol

2 mol of HCl produces 1 mol of BeCl2

x mol of HCl would produce 0.3128 mol of BeCl2

solving for x;

x = 0.3128 * 2 = 0.6256 mol

Converting to mass;

Mass = 0.6256 * 36.5 = 22.83 g

What is the mass of hydrogen gas produced when 25.0g of beryllium chloride is also produced? g

25g of BeCl2 = 0.3128 mol of BeCl2

From the equation;

1 mol of H2 is produced alongside 1 mol of BeCl2

This means;

0.3128 mol of H2 would also be produced alongside 0.3128 mol of BeCl2

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

Mass = 0.3128mol * 2.0159 g/mol = 0.6306 g
