Salt hydrates are an important class of PCMs. An inorganic salt hydrate (hydrated salt or hydrate) is an ionic compound in which the ions attract a number of water molecules, which are then trapped inside the crystal lattice. A hydrated salt has the generic formula MxNy. nH2O.
<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the substance decreases.

Oxidizing agents are the agents that helps in the oxidation of other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.
Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the substance increases.

Reducing agents are the agents that helps in the reduction of the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.
Oxidation state is the number which is given to an atom when it looses or gains electron. It is written as a superscript. In a compound, the total charge is equal to the sum of the charges of all atoms in that compound. <u>For Example:</u> In
, manganese has +7 oxidation number and oxygen has -2.
So, the charge on the compound = ![[=7+(4\times (-2))]=-1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%3D7%2B%284%5Ctimes%20%28-2%29%29%5D%3D-1)
Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
Answer:
C) acid-base neutralization
Explanation:
NaOH + CH₃COOH = CH₃COONa + H₂O
Break the solutions apart:
NaOH = Na⁺ + OH⁻
CH₃COOH = CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺
Combine the resulting solution after the reaction:
OH⁻ + H⁺ = H₂O
Answer:
The u (amu is the old unit name) is 1/12 of the weight of an 12C atom. The way the u is chosen ensures that all core and atom masses are multiples of 1(±0.1) u.
Explanation:
Further explanation if needed...
Carbon 12 was chosen because the chemical atomic weights based on C12 are almost identical to the chemical atomic weights based on the natural mix of oxygen. Simply because the atomic mass is defined as 1/12 of the mass of 12C. Others isotopes of carbon (13C mostly, with an abundance of 1.1% approximately) account for an average atomic mass slightly above 12.
