The oxidation number of all metals on the periodic table have a positive (+) charge. Which of these BEST explains why?

Chemistry

laiz [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Option B) All metals lose one or more valence electrons to become stable, giving them a positive oxidation number.

Explanation:

Yes! metals such as cadmium, sodium, aluminum etc all lose their outermost electrons to nonmetals in chemical reactions to become stable (having an octet or duplet structure), and forming a positively charged ion.

For instance: To form sodium chloride, NaCl Sodium Na, loses its single outermost electron to Chlorine

Na --> Na+ + e-

Thus, Na+ means sodium has a positive oxidation number of +1, and is with a octet stable structure of (2,8) instead of (2,8,1)

How many joules of energy are required to melt 423g of water at 0°C?
Mkey [24]

The amount of heat needed to melt 423 g of water at 0°C is 141282 J

The heat required to melt water can be obtained by using the following formula:

<h3>Q = mL </h3>

Q is the heat required.

L is the latent heat of fusion (334 J/g)

m is the mass.

With the above formula, we can obtain the heat required to melt the water as illustrated below:

Mass of water (m) = 423 g

Latent heat of fusion (L) = 334 J/g

<h3>Heat (Q) required =? </h3>

Q = mL

Q = 423 × 334

<h3>Q = 141282 J</h3>

Therefore, the amount of heat needed to melt 423 g of water at 0°C is 141282 J

How many moles of water are produced if 5.43 mol PbO2 are consumed
Mariana [72]
It has to be understood that 2 moles of oxygen are there in each mole of PbO2. Then it has to be calculated for 2 moles of oxygen.

Amount of oxygen = 2 * 5.43 moles
                              = 10.86 moles
Now it is also a fact that each mole of H2O contains 1 mole of oxygen. Then it can be easily concluded that 10.86 moles of water will be produced. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
