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

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

An atom of Al which has 13 protons and 10 electrons is Al cation (Al⁺³)

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other.

For example,

Al atom has 13 protons and 13 electrons. The number of positive and negative charge is equal thus it will be neutral atom.

While the atom of Al which have 13 proton and 10 electron is not neutral. The positive charge is greater than negative by 3. Which means 3 electrons are lose by Al atom and form cation "Al⁺³".

Thus an atom of Al which has 13 protons and 10 electrons is Al cation (Al⁺³)

(c) Polar solutes were separated by hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) with a strongly polar bonded phase. How would
Lelu [443]

Answer:

(c) The retention time would be higher (d) The retention time would be lower.

Explanation:

For the polar solutes which were separated using the hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) with a strongly polar bonded phase, the retention time would be higher if eluent were changed from 80 vol% to 90 vol% acetonitrile in water.

However, for the polar solutes which were separated using the normal-phase chromatography on bare silica with methyl t=butyl ether and 2-propanol solvent, the retention time would be lower if the eluent were changed from 40 vol% to 60 vol% 2-propanol.

Given the following rate equation, complete the sentences to identify the reaction order for each reagent, the overall reaction
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

1. First

2. Third

3. Fourth

4.remain the same as

Explanation:

Given the reaction equation;

Rate= k[A] [B]^3

We can see that the order of reaction is first order with respect to reactant A and third order with respect to reactant B. This gives an overall fourth order reaction.

If the concentration of A is doubled and that of B is halved. The rate of reaction remains the same.
