Answer:

By tracking oxidation numbers we can identify the number electron in the atom

Explanation:

Tracking of electrons helps us to know when and how many electrons get transferred from one atom to other atom . Oxidation referred as the “loss of one or more electrons” by an atom. When the oxidation number of an element increases, there is a loss of electrons and that element is being oxidized. Oxidation numbers are usually written with the sign (+plus or −minus) followed by the magnitude, which is the opposite of charges on ions. In their elemental stage oxidation number of an atom is zero.

17. Which of the following is NOT an empirical formula? *

Aloiza [94]

Answer: 17) d. $C_2H_6$

18. c. The empirical formula of a compound can be twice the molecular formula.

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

To calculate the molecular formula, we need to find the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

The empirical mass can be calculated from empirical formula and molar mass must be known.

17. Thus the empirical formula of $C_2H_6$ should be $CH_3$

18. The molecular formula will either be same as empirical formula or is a whole number multiple of empirical formula. Thus the empirical formula of a compound can never be twice the molecular formula.

How many atoms are in a sample of 68.7 g copper (Cu)?

dlinn [17]

Divide the number of grams present in the sample by copper's gram atomic weight to find the number of gram atomic weights present. Then multiply that result by Avogadro's Number: 6.022137 x 10^23 atoms/gram atomic weight.1,200 g/(63.54 g/gram atomic weight) ? 18.885741 gram-atomic weights. Hope this helps.

What makes a substance pure?

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: When a substance is pure, it is composed of one type of molecule. For example, table salt is only composed of (more or less) salt molecules, while seawater has water and salt molecules. A more complicated example of a non - pure substance is soil. It has many different types of nutrients and compounds.
