Answer:

Explanation:

The element which is oxidized is the element that losses electrons and its oxidation state be more positive.

The element which is reduced is the element that gain electrons and its oxidation state be more negative.

<em> O goes from 0 to -2, so, it is the element that is reduced.</em>

What mass of glucose would you need (in g) to have 0.8 mol, given that the molar mass of glucose is 180 g mol-1?

Verizon [17]

<h3>Answer: 144 g</h3>

Explanation:

Mass of glucose = moles × molar mass

∴ Mass of glucose = 0.8 mol × 180 g mol⁻¹

= 144 g

∴ the mass of glucose you need to have 0.8 mol of glucose = 144 g
