The correct answer is a.) C. Oxidation occurs when an element loses electrons and increases its oxidation state. In the chemical equation, Carbon in CH4 has an oxidation state of 4- while Carbon in CO2 has an oxidation of 4+.

Answer : The correct option is, (a) C

Explanation :

The given balanced reaction is,

CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

This reaction is a combustion reaction in which a hydrocarbon react with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water as a product. Or we can say that, on oxidation a hydrocarbon gives carbon dioxide and water.

The gain of oxygen and loss of electrons are the oxidation and the loss of oxygen and gain of electrons are the reduction.

In the given reaction, the element carbon (C) is undergoing oxidation. That means on oxidation the carbon (C) element produces carbon dioxide.

Hence, the correct option is, (a) C

The main purpose of models is to gain a better understanding of the world true or false
Dmitry [639]
It is false, because models don't help you get a better understanding of the world, they help you better understand what you are trying to get from it like a weather model, it helps us see the weather because it is a visual so people would know what type of weather is where.

The symbol and group number of the period 5 transition element whos atoms have the fewest protons
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Y and group number 17

Explanation:

Iodine is the chemical element of symbol I and atomic number 53, belonging to group 17 or of the halogens, in the periodic table. It is an element that we can find both in its molecular form, and in a diatomic way. In addition, iodine is a trace element and is used in the field of medicine and photography, as well as in some cases it is used as a dye. In the field of chemistry, iodine is the least reactive halogen element. Like the rest of the halogens, iodine also forms diatomic molecules, in this case the diiodine (I2).

Iodine is part of numerous compounds, despite being the element with the lowest reactivity in its group. It has some characteristics of metals, and their oxidation states are -1, + 1, + 3, + 5, + 7.

Despite its use, it is the halogen as a minor abundance, with only 0.14 ppm concentration in the earth's crust, however, in seawater its abundance is exactly 0.052 ppm.

How many moles of carbon are in 5.2 moles of C7H18?
bulgar [2K]
There is a shortcut to this Chem question. simply look at this problem as if it were a cooking recipe. you have 7 parts Carbon and 18 Parts Hydrogen for a total of 25 parts. Simply divide 5.2 by 25 then multiply by 7 to get your answer.
(5.2/ 25) 7 = 1.456 moles
