23. Using the periodic table, what is the oxidation number of:

Chemistry

Answer:

a. +2

b. +3

c. -1

Explanation:

The typical oxidation states can be determined from the periodic table based on the number of valence electrons an atom has.

a. Calcium belongs to group 2A, meaning it has 2 valence electrons and, therefore, would have an oxidation state of +2 in compounds.

b. Aluminum is in group 3A, meaning it has 3 valence electrons and would have an oxidation state of +3 in compounds when the 3 electrons are lost.

c. Fluorine would become fluorine if it gained 1 additional electron to achieve an octet, so its oxidation state would be -1.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The wavelength the student should use is 700 nm.

Explanation:

Attached below you can find the diagram I found for this question elsewhere.

Because the idea is to minimize the interference of the Co⁺²(aq) species, we should <u>choose a wavelength in which its absorbance is minimum</u>.

At 400 nm Co⁺²(aq) shows no absorbance, however neither does Cu⁺²(aq). While at 700 nm Co⁺²(aq) shows no absorbance and Cu⁺²(aq) does.

The polymer formed from the monomer ch2=ch–cn is select one:
podryga [215]
Answer:
             None of the given options show polymer made up of H₂C=CH-CN (Acrylonitrile).

Explanation:
                   Acrylonitrile (H₂C=CH-CN) which is a monomer on self linkage results in a large chain polymer called as Polyacrylonitrile.
                   The structure of Polyacrylonitrile is as follow,

                                             --(H₂C-CHCN-)n--

Where n shows the number of Acrylonitrile units joined together in the formation of Polyacrylonitrile. This polymerization reaction can take place by different mechanisms including free radical mechanism, acid catalyzed addition or base catalyzed addition reaction.

The polymerization is shown below,
