7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The oxidation number of C in carbon dioxide (CO2) is (rules 1 & 2): 0 + (2 x 2) = +4 [Check (rule 3): +4 + 2(-2) = 0] The oxidation number of C in methane (CH4) is (rules 1 & 2): 0 – (4 x1) = -4 [Check (rule 3): -4 + 4(-1) = 0].

A buffer solution is composed of 7.50 mol of acid and 4.75 mol of the conjugate base. If the pKa of the acid is 4.90 , what is t

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is: pH= 4.70

Explanation:

We use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation in order to calculate the pH of a buffer solution:

$pH= pKa + log \frac{ [conjugate base]}{[acid]}$

Given:

pKa= 4.90

[conjugate base]= 4.75 mol

[acid]= 7.50 mol

We calculate pH as follows:

pH = 4.90 + log (4.75 mol/7.50 mol) = 4.90 + (-0.20) = 4.70

In the quantum mechanical model, what two words do they use to describe particles?

miskamm [114]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but one can assume the answer from the definition of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is the science that describes particles in nature at the atomic and subatomic particle (electron, proton and neutron) level. Thus it can be assumed that atoms and subatomic particles are used to broadly describe particles.

A chemical reaction resulting in the transfer of electrons or hydrogen atoms from one molecule to another is called a(n) _______

anzhelika [568]

The kind of reaction involving the transfer of electrons or hydrogen away from a molecule is called oxidation.

In the same vein, the molecule that receives the electron or the hydrogen atom is said to be reduced. This means that oxidation cannot exist in isolation without reduction.

In other words, oxidation is defined as:

Loss of electrons
Loss of hydrogen atoms
Gain of oxygen atoms
Gain in oxidation number

While reduction is defined as:

Gain of electrons
Gain of hydrogen atom
Loss of oxygen atom
Reduction in oxidation number
