The structural formula on the other hand is a representation of the molecular structure that shows all the atoms that form the molecule, arranged in a three dimentional space,

In this case we have the hydrogen ion, which is the simpliest case we can have.

Hydrogen ion is the hydrogen atom possitively charged as it has lost his electron. Therefore the structural formula is simply the following:

The Lewis formula is also very simple as this ion has no electrons and has no bonding to other atoms:

Select the correct answer. When an atom in a reactant loses electrons, what happens to its oxidation number? A. Its oxidation nu

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

C. Its oxidation number increases.

Explanation:

Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons by an atom while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom.
Atoms of elements have an oxidation number of Zero in their elemental state.
When an atom looses electrons it undergoes oxidation and its oxidation number increases.
For example, an atom of sodium (Na) at its elemental state has an oxidation number of 0. When the sodium atom looses an electrons it becomes a cation, Na+, with an oxidation number of +1 , the loss of electron shows an increase in oxidation number from 0 to +1.

What is the concentration of a solution that has 15.0 g NaCl dissolved to a total of 750 ml?

Oksana_A [137]

Answer: The concentration of solution is 0.342 M

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Mass of solute (Sodium chloride) = 15 g

Molar mass of sodium chloride = 58.5 g/mol

Volume of solution = 750 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{15g\times 1000}{58.5g/mol\times 750mL}\\\\\text{Molarity of solution}=0.342M$

Hence, the concentration of solution is 0.342 M
