joja [24]
Hello,
I believe the answer is C. A and B say that it would help to change it but when we think about it data and opinions are not what people use to change a curriculum or program. Mainly they use surveys, which they didn't use here. Option D doesn't make any sense, data doesn't complement a program it supports some sort of theory which leads us to C. C is the only option where they use the data for effectiveness. Hope this helps!

Calculate the volume of chlorine molecules produced at room temperature and pressure, when 234g of sodium chloride are electroly
rewona [7]

The volume of chlorine molecules produced at STP would be 96 dm³.

<h3>Stoichiometric problem</h3>

Sodium chloride ionizes during electrolysis to produce sodium and chlorine ions as follows:

NaCl --- > Na^+ + Cl^-

This means that 1 mole of sodium chloride will produce 1 mole of sodium ion and 1 mole of chlorine ion respectively.

Recall that: mole = mass/molar mass

Hence, 234 g of sodium chloride will give:

                         234/58.44 = 4.00 moles.

Thus, the equivalent number of moles of chlorine produced by 234 g of sodium chloride will be 4 moles.

Recall that:

1 mole of every gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure = 24 Liters.

Hence:

4 moles of chlorine = 4 x 24 = 96 Liters or 96 dm³.

What is the oxidation state of Hydrogen in H20<br><br> +2<br> +1<br> -2<br> -1
xeze [42]
<h3>What is the oxidation number of oxygen in H2O?</h3>

Oxygen almost always has an oxidation number of -2, except in peroxides (H 2 O 2) where it is -1 and in compounds with fluorine (OF 2) where it is +2. Hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1 when combined with non-metals, but it has an oxidation number of -1 when combined with metals.

According to the law of constant composition, how many grams of oxygen does this isolated sample contain?
KatRina [158]

The Mass of oxygen in isolated sample is 8.6 g

<h3>What is the Law of Constant composition?</h3>

The law of constant composition states that pure samples of the same compound contain the same element in the same ratio by mass irrespective of the source from which the compound is obtained.

Considering the given ascorbic acid samples:

Laboratory sample contains 1.50 gg of carbon and 2.00 gg of oxygen

mass ratio of oxygen to carbon is 2 : 1.5

Isolated sample will contain 2/1.5 * 6.45 g of oxygen.

Mass of oxygen in isolated sample = 8.6 g

In conclusion, the mass of oxygen is determined from the mass ratio of oxygen and carbon in the compound.

Note that the complete question is given below:

A sample of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is synthesized in the laboratory. It contains 1.50 g of carbon and 2.00 g of oxygen. Another sample of ascorbic acid isolated from citrus fruits contains 6.45 gg of carbon. According to the law of constant composition, how many grams of oxygen does this isolated sample contain?

Express the answer in grams to three significant figures.

8.47 g
