Answer:

The combination of oxygen with other substances to produce new chemical products is called Oxidation.

Explanation:

Oxidation reactions are defined as,

In terms of Inorganic chemistry:

(i) Removal of Electrons:

Example: Mg → Mg²⁺ + 2 e⁻

(ii) Addition of Oxygen:

Example: 2 Mg + O₂ → 2 MgO

In terms of Organic chemistry:

(i) Addition of Electrons:

Example: Cl₂ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻

(ii) Addition of Hydrogen:

Example: H₂CCH₂ + H₂ → H₃CCH₃

Explain the difference between molecule and compound

nadya68 [22]

Answer:
A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. A compound is a substance which is formed by two or more different types of elements which are united chemically in a fixed proportion. All molecules are not compounds.

Good luck !

Combustion analysis of toluene, a common organic solvent, gives 3.52 mg of co2 and 0.822 mg of h2o. if the compound contains onl

IRISSAK [1]

C7H8 First, lookup the atomic weight of all involved elements Atomic weight of carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight of hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight of oxygen = 15.999 Then calculate the molar masses of CO2 and H2O Molar mass CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 g/mol Molar mass H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488 g/mol Now calculate the number of moles of each product obtained Note: Not interested in the absolute number of moles, just the relative ratios. So not going to get pedantic about the masses involved being mg and converting them to grams. As long as I'm using the same magnitude units in the same places for the calculations, I'm OK. moles CO2 = 3.52 / 44.0087 = 0.079984 moles H2O = 0.822 / 18.01488 = 0.045629 Since each CO2 molecule has 1 carbon atom, I can use the same number for the relative moles of carbon. However, since each H2O molecule has 2 hydrogen atoms, I need to double that number to get the relative number of moles for hydrogen. moles C = 0.079984 moles H = 0.045629 * 2 = 0.091258 So we have a ratio of 0.079984 : 0.091258 for carbon and hydrogen. We need to convert that to a ratio of small integers. First divide both numbers by 0.079984 (selected since it's the smallest), getting 1: 1.140953 The 1 for carbon looks good. But the 1.140953 for hydrogen isn't close to an integer. So let's multiply the ratio by 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., etc and see what each new ratio looks like (Effectively seeing what 1, 2, 3, 4, etc carbons look like) 1 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 1 : 1.140953 2 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 2 : 2.281906 3 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 3 : 3.422859 4 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 4 : 4.563812 5 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 5 : 5.704765 6 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 6 : 6.845718 7 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 7 : 7.986671 8 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 8 : 9.127624 That 7.986671 in row 7 looks extremely close to 8. I doubt I'd get much closer unless I go to extremely high integers. So it looks like the empirical formula for toluene is C7H8

Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: Zn2+, Ni4+, F-

hram777 [196]

Ionic compounds are formed between oppositely charged ions.

A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a positive ion(metal), and the other is negative ion (nonmetal).

To write the empirical formula of binary ionic compound we must remember that one ion should be positive and other ion should be negative, then only the correct formula should be written. To write the empirical formula the charges of opposite ions should be criss-crossed.

First empirical formula of binary ionic compound is written between $Zn^{2+} (Positive ion)and F^{-} (Negative ion)$

First Formula would be $ZnF_{2}$

Second empirical formula is between $Zn^{2+}(Positive ion) and O^{2-}(Negative ion)$

Second Formula would be $Zn_{2}O_{2}$

Note : When the subscript are same they get cancel out, so $Zn_{2}O_{2}$ would be written as $ZnO$

Third empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion) and F^{-}(Negative ion)$

Third Formula would be : $NiF_{4}$

Forth empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion)and O^{2-}(negative ion)$

Forth Formula would be : $Ni_{2}O_{4}$ or $NiO_{2}$

Note- The subscript will be simplified and the formula will be written as $NiO_{2}$ .

The empirical formula of four binary ionic compounds are : $ZnF_{2}, ZnO, NiF_{4},NiO_{2}$
