Answer:

The oxidation state of the carbon is +4.

Explanation:

Calcium is in group 2 of the periodic table, therefore, its oxidation state is +2.

The oxidation state of the oxygen is -2.

As the compound is neutral, the sum of the oxidation states of all atoms must be 0.

Oxidation State Ca + Oxidation State C + (Oxidation State O)×3 = 0

+2 + x + (-2)×3 = 0

2 + x - 6 = 0

x = 6 -2

x = 4

Hence, the oxidation state of the carbon is +4.

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

$\boxed{4.7\times 10^{-9}}$

Explanation:

Data:

MM = 848.952 g/mol

c = 4.0 x 10⁻⁶ g/L

V = 1 L

Calculations:

(a) Mass of growth hormone

$\text{Mass} = \text{1 L} \times \dfrac{4.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ g}}{\text{1 L}} = 4.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ g}$

(b) Moles of growth hormone

$\text{Moles} = 4.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{848.952 g}} = 4.7\times 10^{-9}\text{ mol}\\\\\text{There are $\boxed{\mathbf{4.7\times 10^{-9}}\textbf{ mol}}$ of growth hormone in 1 L of blood.}$

agasfer [191]

The one from the cupboard because it is warmer (has more thermal energy) than the one from the refrigerator. When a liquid becomes warmer, the solubility of a gas becomes lower. Therefore, there is already more CO2 in its gaseous state when the soda is warm.
