Answer:

              NaClO₄

Solution:

Let us calculate the oxidation state of Chlorine in each compound one by one;

1) NaClO

               O.N of Na = +1

               O.N of O = -2

So,

               (+1) + (Cl) + (-2) = 0

               1 + Cl - 2 = 0

               Cl = -1 + 2

               Cl = +1

2) NaClO₃

               (+1) + (Cl) + (-2)3 = 0

               (+1) + (Cl) - 6 = 0

               1 + Cl - 6 = 0

               Cl = -1 + 6

               Cl = +5

3) NaClO₂

               (+1) + (Cl) + (-2)2 = 0

               (+1) + (Cl) + (-4) = 0

               1 + Cl - 4 = 0

               Cl = -1 + 4

               Cl = +3

4) NaClO₄

               (+1) + (Cl) + (-2)4 = 0

               (+1) + (Cl) + (-8) = 0

               1 + Cl - 8 = 0

               Cl = -1 + 8

               Cl = +7

How many grams of sodium hydroxide are needed to make 500mLs of a 0.125M NaOH solution?
dybincka [34]
need 0.500 x 0.125 = 0.0625 moles of NaOH. The molecular weight is 23+16+1 = 40, so 0.0625 x 40 = 2.5 grams will do the trick.

________ splits fatty acids into two-carbon units that form acetyl-coa and releases high-energy electrons.
zimovet [89]

The answer is beta oxidation. It is a process in which molecules particularly fatty acids are cracked down in the prokaryotes’ cytosol and in the mitochondria in eukaryotes to produce acetyl-CoA, which goes in the citric acid cycle, <span>FADH2</span>, and NADH which are co-enzymes that are cast-off in the electron transport chain. The major response site is the beta-carbon from the thioester carbon.
