Answer:

+2

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Ca + 2HF  →   CaF₂ + H₂

The oxidation state of Ca on left  hand side is 0 while on the right hand side when it form CaF₂ its oxidation state becomes +2 because it loses two. These two electrons are accepted by fluorine and complete its octet while Ca loses its two out most electron to complete the octet.

In this reaction oxidation of calcium takes place and calcium itself is reducing agent.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Consider another examples.

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

How many liters of carbon dioxide will be produced at STP if 3.56 g calcium carbonate reacts completely with carbon dioxide? CaC
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

V = 0.798 L

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for this gas stoichiometry problem, we first need to compute the moles of carbon dioxide via stoichiometry and the molar mass of starting calcium carbonate:

3.56gCaCO_3*\frac{1molCaCO_3}{100gCaCO_3} *\frac{1molCO_2}{1molCaCO_3} =0.0356molCO_2

Next, we use the ideal gas equation for computing the volume, by bearing to mind that the STP conditions stand for a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 273.15 K:

PV=nRT\\\\V=\frac{nRT}{P}\\\\V=\frac{0.0356mol*0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*273.15K}{1atm} \\\\V=0.798L

Best regards!

Boron has primarily two isotopes, one with an atomic mass of 11.0 amu and another with an atomic mass of 10.0 amu. If the abunda
Masja [62]

Answer:

The atomic mass of the boron atom would be <em>10.135</em>

Explanation:

This is generally known as relative atomic mass.

Relative atomic mass or atomic weight is a physical quantity defined as the ratio of the average mass of atoms of a chemical element in a given sample to the atomic mass of 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Since both quantities in the ratio are masses, the resulting value is dimensionless; hence the value is said to be relative and does not have a unit.

<em>Note that the relative atomic mass of atoms is not always a whole number because of it being isotopic in nature.</em>

  • <em>Divide each abundance by 100 then multiply by atomic mass</em>
  • <em>Do that for each isotope, then add the two result. Thus</em>

Relative atomic mass of Boron = (18.5/100 x 11) + (81/100 x 10)

                                                 = 2.035 + 8.1

                                                 = 10.135

How do cells reproduce? ∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Cells divide to reproduce. There are two primary methods used, one for somatic cells, which compose the organism’s body, and one for reproductive cells, or gametes.

Scientists call the process of somatic cell division mitosis. Mitosis has six distinct steps in which the cell organizes and copies the DNA in the nucleus. Once copied, each new cell has its own copy of the DNA. The six steps of mitosis are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis. Some authorities consider the non-dividing portion of the cell’s lifecycle, known as interphase, to be one of seven steps involved in mitosis; however, interphase cells are not actively dividing.

Sex cells, such as sperm or eggs, must divide differently. Sex cells only possess one-half of the DNA that makes up a new animal. That way, when they combine, the resulting organism gets half of its DNA from its mother and half from its father. Because sex cells only want half of the DNA in each cell, they go through a different division process called meiosis. In meiosis, the cells split a second time, which yields four daughter cells rather than two as with mitosis; however, this provides each daughter cell with 23 chromosomes in contrast to the 46 chromosomes in somatic cells.
