NARA [144]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

a. C: +3 ; b. N: +5 ; c. S:+6 ; d. C: +4; e. Mn: +7 ; f. Cr: +6.

Explanation:

Global charges in molecules is 0

You sum all the oxidation states to determine the oxidation state for the compound.

Na₂C₂O₄ → Sodium oxalate → Global charge: 0

Oxidation state for C: +3

HNO₃ → Nitric acid → Global charge: 0

Oxidation state for N: +5

H₂SO₄ → Sulfuric acid → Global charge: 0

Oxidation state for S: +6

HCO₃⁻ → Bicarbonate → Global charge: -1, this is an anion

Oxidation state for C: +4

KMnO₄ → Potassium permanganate → Global charge: 0

Oxidation state for Mn: +7

Cr₂O₇⁻ → Anion dichromate → Global charge: -2

Oxidation state for Cr: +6

What is an Isolated Atom?

sashaice [31]

Isolated atom basically means atom which exists separatly without any bonding with other atoms. It can only be acheived experimentaly because normally all atoms are bonded together by strong nuclear forces and its really hard to isolate a single atom.

Nitroglycerin is a dangerous powerful explosive that violently decomposes when it is shaken or dropped. The Swedish chemist Alfr

ELEN [110]

Answer:

4 C3H5N3O9 ------> 6N2 + O2 + 10H2O + 12CO2

Explanation:

Nitroglycerin has a chemical formula C3H5N3O9. The balanced chemical equation is as follows:

4 C3H5N3O9 ------> 6N2 + O2 + 10H2O + 12CO2

We suppose that in a reaction, 44g of carbon dioxide is produced. The mass of nitroglycerin that must have reacted will be calculated as under:

Molecular mass of Nitroglycerin = 227g/mol

Molecular mass of Carbon dioxide = 44g/mol

No. of moles of carbon dioxide produced = 44/44 = 1 mole produced.

Now, from balanced chemical equation, we can see that

12 moles of carbon dioxide are produced by = 4 moles of nitroglycerin.

1 mole of carbon dioxide is produced by = 4/12 = 1/3 moles of nitroglycerin.

Mass of nitroglycerin which produced 1 mole of carbon dioxide = 1/3 x 227 = 75.666 grams.

Forces and Motion:Question 1

defon

Answer:

Velocity = 12 km/h

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the division between distance traveled and the time it took for that distance to be traveled:

Velocity = Distance / Time

With the above information in mind, we can calculate the velocity of the bicycle:

Velocity = 18 km / 1.5 h

Velocity = 12 km/h

Thus the velocity of the bicycle is 12 kilometers per hour.

Which of these statements describes a physical property of hydrogen? Group of answer choices it is found in acids. it is less de

pochemuha

Answer:

it is less dense than oxygen gas.

Explanation:

Hydrogen is the simplest chemical element that exists. The symbol for the chemical element Hydrogen is "H" and it is a colourless, tasteless, odorless, and highly flammable gas.

Hydrogen is a chemical element found in group (1) of the periodic table and as such it has one (1) electrons in its outermost shell. Therefore, Hydrogen has an atomic number of one (1) and a single valence electrons because it has only one proton and one electron in its nucleus.

In Chemistry, the properties of a chemical element that can be observed and measured without changing its chemical nature is known as a physical property. It includes density, color, freezing point, opacity, smell, melting point, viscosity, etc.

Hence, the statement which describes a physical property of hydrogen is that it is less dense (density) than oxygen gas.
