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.

In the activity, click on the E∘cell and Keq quantities to observe how they are related. Use this relation to calculate Keq for

inessss [21]

Answer:

The standard cell potential of the reaction is 0.78 Volts.

Explanation:

$Cu^{2+}(aq)+Fe(s)\rightarrow Cu(s)+Fe^{2+}(aq)$

Reduction at cathode :

$Cu^+(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s)$

Reduction potential of $Cu^{2+}$ to Cu= $E^o_{1}=0.34 V$

Oxidation at anode:

$Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-$

Reduction potential of $Fe^{2+}$ to Fe= $E^o_{2}=-0.44 V$

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{red,cathode}-E^o_{red,anode}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E^o_{cell}=0.34V -(-0.44 V)=0.78 V$

The standard cell potential of the reaction is 0.78 Volts.

Calculate the volume of hydrogen if you have 12.1 moles of Hydrogen.

vodomira [7]

To Find :

The volume of 12.1 moles hydrogen at STP.

Solution :

We know at STP, 1 mole of gas any gas occupy a volume of 22.4 L.

Let, volume of 12.1 moles of hydrogen is x.

So, x = 22.4 × 12.1 L

x = 271.04 L

Therefore, the volume of hydrogen gas at STP is 271.04 L.

What type of a reaction occurs when a sodium hydroxide solution is mixed with an acetic acid solution?

Harman [31]

Answer:

C) acid-base neutralization

Explanation:

NaOH + CH₃COOH = CH₃COONa + H₂O

Break the solutions apart:

NaOH = Na⁺ + OH⁻

CH₃COOH = CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺

Combine the resulting solution after the reaction:

OH⁻ + H⁺ = H₂O
