In which of the following choices is the oxidation number incorrect?

Chemistry
1 answer:
8_murik_8 [283]3 years ago
4 0

Cl2(s); oxidation number 1 is the incorrect choices in oxidation number.

Explanation:

In the elemental form oxidation state is zero. Here chlorine is present in elemental form so oxidation state is zero.

Oxidation number depends on the number of electrons gained or lost by an atom of the element say in compound formation.

If electron is gained oxidation number becomes negative.

If electron is lost then oxidation number is positive.

If the octet rule is fulfilled that valence shell is filled them atomic number gets zero. Since Cl2 is in neutral state the oxidation number is 0.

Oxidation number in general can be made out by checking the valency of the element as oxidation number is also equal to the valency.

Which of the titanium-containing minerals rutile (TiO2) or ilmenite (FeTiO3) has the larger percentage of titanium?
cupoosta [38]

Rutile (TiO2) or ilmenite (FeTiO3) titanium-containing minerals  has the larger percentage of titanium is explained below.

Explanation:

1. Titanium is obtained from different ores that occur naturally on the Earth. Ilmenite (FeTiO3) and rutile (TiO2) are the most important sources of titanium.

2. According to USGS, Ilmenite(FeTio3) accounts for about 92% of the world’s consumption of titanium minerals.

3. World resources of anatase, ilmenite and rutile total more than 2 billion tonnes. Identified reserves total 750 million tonnes (ilmenite plus rutile).

4. China, with 20 million tonnes--accounting for 29% of the world total-- is now the country that is most abundant in terms of ilmenite reserves. Meanwhile, Australia, with 24 million tones rutile reserves—accounting for 50% of the world total—is now the country that is most abundant in terms of rutile reserves.

5.Ilmenite can be mined from both layered intrusive deposits and heavy mineral deposits. It is often found alongside rutile in heavy mineral deposits. Ilmenite is used to make titanium dioxide  pigment or it can be processed into feedstock that can be used in the manufacture of titanium. This has become more common as viable rutile deposits become increasingly scarce. South Africa and Australia are among the world’s largest producer of Ilmenite, each extracting over a million metric tonnes per year.

6.The Mining of titanium from intrusive rock is restricted to ilmenite and its weathered derivative leucoxene. The largest opencast ilmenite mine is Tellnes in Norway’s municipality of Sokndal.

The most common reaction that causes spoilage isn't a reaction at all. Molds and Bacteria are attracted to the easily found presence of water in the fruit. They find a natural place to reproduce and what they do causes spoilage.

Very few sources talk about the chemical changes that take place. If you put fruit in a refrigerator it slows the spoiling process down. That means that the chemical reaction has to be endothermic (it requires heat to occur)

The process of spoilage is speeded up by bananas for example, giving up Ethylene gas. You do not want to put a banana with tomatoes, because tomatoes are very sensitive to Ethylene. (It's OK to eat them together. They make a terrific salad. Yum).

I cannot find a definitive source that connects all this together, but the conduct of the fruit in refrigerators confirms what I am saying.

Spoilage is a very complex reaction and interaction with the environment. I have given you a hint of what happens but you should search it out to convince yourself of the outcome.

Total distance divided by total elapsed time gives what quantity?
ki77a [65]
<h2>Total distance divided by total elapsed time gives : Average speed </h2>

Explanation:

Speed

It is the distance traveled by body with respect to time .

Its formula is Speed = distance /time

V=S/T

units : m/sec or Km/hr

Distance

It is total path traveled by body in any direction .

It unit and symbol is : S  and unit = m /Km

Average speed

It is the total distance traveled by body with respect to total time taken to travel that given distance .

Average speed = total distance /total time

A.s = T.D/T.T

unit = m/sec or Km/hr

Instantaneous velocity

It is the distance traveled by body at particular instant of time ,in given direction .

Displacement

It is the shortest path traveled by body in given direction .

If 3.0 liters of oxygen gas react with excess carbon monoxide at STP, how many liters of carbon dioxide can be produced under th
AlladinOne [14]
At STP, the volume of a gas represents the number of particles.That said, from the chemical reaction one mole of oxygen reacts with two moles of co to produce the product, CO2At STP, 3 moles of Oxygen will produce 6 moles of CO2. Hence It follows that at standard temperature and pressure, 6.0 L of CO2 will be produced. Option D.

What is a positive ion?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

If the atom has more electrons than protons, it is a negative ion or ANION. If it has more protons than electrons, it is a positive ion.

Explanation:

Positive ions are typically metals or act like metals. Many common materials contain these ions. Mercury is found in thermometers, for instance, and aluminum is a metal that is found in a surprising amount of things.
