An ionic compound is composed of ionic bonds that are formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons acquires a positive charge (cation) while that which gains electrons acquires a negative charge.
In the case of sodium chloride; Sodium Na has 1 electron in its outer orbital while Chlorine Cl has 7 electrons. Thus, Cl requires 1 electron to complete its octet. This electron is donated by Na.
Thus, NaCl is essentially, Na⁺Cl⁻
Ans D) Chlorine becomes an anion by gaining an electron from sodium
Answer : The electrons are gained and the oxidation number of chromium decreases.
Explanation :
As we know that a redox reaction is a reaction in which the oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously.
Oxidation reaction : The reaction where a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.
Reduction reaction : The reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.
The balanced half reaction will be :
In this reaction, the oxidation number of 'Cr' changes from (+3) to (+2) that means 'Cr' gains 1 electron and it shows reduction or the oxidation number decreases.
Hence, the electrons are gained and the oxidation number of chromium decreases.
The amino acid for this should be Arginine. I am not entirely sure.
Answer:
64g of Oxygen
Explanation:
Firstly, carbon and oxygen react to form CO2 as follows;
C + O2 => CO2
According to the equation, one mole of C reacts with one mole of O2 to give one mole of CO2
Since molar mass of C= 12g/mol, O= 16g/mol
One mole of (C) contains 12g
One mole of O2 contains 16(2) = 32g
Hence, If there are 24g of C, there would be 24 × 32 / 12
= 768/12
= 64g
Hence, there would be 64g of oxygen if there are 24g of Carbon
Answer:
C
Explanation:
the enthalpy of reaction is independent of the reaction path
