The oxidation state of the atoms of any molecule in the element state equals zero. H2 is is the element state, therefore the oxidation state of the whole molecule equals zero and the oxidation states of the atoms also equals zero. Answer letter D is the correct answer. 
Magnesium has an oxidation state = zero before it undergoes the reaction and is oxidized. The oxidations state of the magnesium in Mg(OH)2 is +2.

What is the average mass of a single chlorine atom in grams
Archy [21]
<span>If you look at the chlorine box, with the symbol Cl, you see the atomic mass is equal to 35.453 atomic mass units. This is the weighted average mass of chlorine, including its isotopes, as found in nature. This also means that one mole of chlorine atoms has a mass of 35.453 grams.</span>

If the solubility of a gas is 10.5 g/L at 525 kPa pressure, what is the solubility of the gas when the pressure is 225 kPa? Show
Talja [164]

Answer:

4.5 g/L.

Explanation:

  • To solve this problem, we must mention Henry's law.
  • Henry's law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.
  • It can be expressed as: P = KS,

P is the partial pressure of the gas above the solution.

K is the Henry's law constant,

S is the solubility of the gas.

  • At two different pressures, we have two different solubilities of the gas.

<em>∴ P₁S₂ = P₂S₁.</em>

P₁ = 525.0 kPa & S₁ = 10.5 g/L.

P₂ = 225.0 kPa & S₂ = ??? g/L.

∴ S₂ = P₂S₁/P₁ = (225.0 kPa)(10.5 g/L) / (525.0 kPa) = 4.5 g/L.

Two samples of a compound containing elements a and b are decomposed. the first sample produces 15 g of a and 35 g of
Alborosie

According to law of definite proportion, for a compound, elements always combine in fixed ratio by mass.

The formula of compound remains the same, let it be a_{x}b_{y} where, a and b are two different elements.

Since, the ratio of mass remains the same , calculate the ratio of masses of element a and b in both cases

\frac{a}{b}=\frac{15}{35}=\frac{10}{y}

rearranging,

y=\frac{10\times 35}{15}=23.3

Thus, mass of b produced will be 23.3 g.

Cesium has a radius of 272 pm and crystallizes in a body-centered cubic structure. What is the edge length of the unit cell
olchik [2.2K]

Answer: Edge length of the unit cell = 628pm

Explanation: For a body centred cubic structured system, the relationship between the edge length of the unit cell and radius of the atoms in the structure is

Edge length of Unit cell (a) = (4R)/(√3)

R = 272pm = (272 × (10^-12))m = (2.72 × (10^-10))m

a = (4 × (2.72 × (10^-10)))/(√3)

a = (6.28157 × (10^-10))m = 628pm
