It is correct, next time re-check your answer and don't second guess yourself. ;3
When oxygen is found is peroxide, it has an oxidation number of -1.
The chemical formula of hydrogen peroxide is H2O2. We know that hydrogen always has +1 oxidation state until it forms metal hydrides. So in H2O2, the oxidation state ofhydrogen is +1.
Now, let oxidation state of oxygen be x. So,
2 * (+1) + 2*x = 0
2 + 2x = 0
2x = -2
x = -2 / 2
x = -1
Hence, the oxidation number of oxygen in peroxides is -1
Answer:
Mass % of hydrogen = 20.9 %
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of hydrogen = 0.485 g
Mass of water = 2.32 g
Mass percent of hydrogen = ?
Solution:
Mass % of hydrogen = mass of hydrogen / mass of water × 100
Mass % of hydrogen = 0.485 g/ 2.32 g × 100
Mass % of hydrogen = 0.209 × 100
Mass % of hydrogen = 20.9 %
You must add 7.5 pt of the 30 % sugar to the 5 % sugar to get a 20 % solution.
You can use a modified dilution formula to calculate the volume of 30 % sugar.
<em>V</em>_1×<em>C</em>_1 + <em>V</em>_2×<em>C</em>_2 = <em>V</em>_3×<em>C</em>_3
Let the volume of 30 % sugar = <em>x</em> pt. Then the volume of the final 20 % sugar = (5 + <em>x</em> ) pt
(<em>x</em> pt×30 % sugar) + (5 pt×5 % sugar) = (<em>x</em> + 5) pt × 20 % sugar
30<em>x</em> + 25 = 20x + 100
10<em>x</em> = 75
<em>x</em> = 75/10 = 7.5
