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).

2. 27.8 mL of an unknown were added to a 50.0-mL flask that weighs 464.7 g. The total mass of the flask and the liquid is 552.4
agasfer [191]

Answer:

d=4.24x10^{-4}\frac{lb}{in^3}

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out firstly necessary for us to set the equation for the calculation of density and mass divided by volume:

d=\frac{m}{V}

Thus, we can find the mass of the unknown by subtracting the total mass of the liquid to the mass of the flask and the liquid:

m=552.4g-464.7g=87.7g

So that we are now able to calculate the density in g/mL first:

d=\frac{87.7g}{27.8mL}=3.15g/mL

Now, we proceed to the conversion to lb/in³ by using the following setup:

d=3.15\frac{g}{mL}*\frac{1lb}{453.6g}*\frac{1in^3}{16.3871mL}\\\\d=4.24x10^{-4}\frac{lb}{in^3}

Regards!

A given atom has 3 protons, 4 neutrons, and 3 electrons. Describe how you can use those three values to describe the structure,
ELEN [110]
Charge # = protons - electons 

Mass # = protons + neutrons 

so that would be 

3-3= charge#
3+4= mass#

The​ half-life of a certain tranquilizer in the bloodstream is 5050 hours. how long will it take for the drug to decay to 8686​%
Novosadov [1.4K]
Using the exponential decay model; we calculate "k"
We know that "A" is half of A0
A = A0 e^(k× 5050)
A/A0 = e^(5050k)
0.5 = e^(5055k)
In (0.5) = 5055k 
-0.69315 = 5055k
 k = -0.0001371
To calculate how long it will take to decay to 86% of the original mass
0.86 = e^(-0.0001371t)
In (0.86) = -0.0001371t
-0.150823 = -0.0001371 t
 t = 1100 hours
