Answer:
Explanation:
The oxidation number is an integer that represents the number of electrons that an atom receives or makes available to others when it forms a given compound.
The oxidation number is positive if the atom loses electrons, or shares them with an atom that has a tendency to accept them. And it will be negative when the atom gains electrons, or shares them with an atom that has a tendency to give them up.
Chemical compounds are electrically neutral. That is, the charge that all the atoms of a compound contribute must be globally null. That is, when having positive or negative charges in a compound, their sum must be zero.
There are some rules for determining oxidation numbers in compounds. Among them it is possible to mention:
- Hydrogen (H) has an oxidation number +1 with nonmetals and - 1 with metals.
- Oxygen (O) presents the oxidation number -2
- Fluorine F has a unique oxidation state -1
Then:
- NOF: N+(-2)+(-1)=0 → N=3 → oxidation number of nitrogen (N) is +3, oxidation number of oxygen (O) is -2 and oxidation number of fluorine (F) is -1.
- ClF₅: Cl + 5*(-1)=0 → Cl= 5 → oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is +5 and oxidation number of fluorine (F) is -1.
- H₂SO₃: 2*(+1)+S+3*(-2)=0 → S=4 → oxidation number of hydrogen (H) is +1, oxidation number of oxygen (O) is -2 and oxidation number of sulfur (S) is +4.
Explanation:
If we compare its solubility products without any calculation then, Magnesium hydroxide is more soluble than compound A and C. Magnesium hydroxide is less soluble than compound D.
- The solubility product of magnesium hydroxide and zinc carbonate is same so it is not possible to determine whether it is more or less soluble than compound B
There are 3 molecules of H2.
There are 2 atoms of nitrogen presented in the reactants.
2 moles of NH3 are formed.
This corresponds to the law of multiple proportions which states that when a certain amount of compound reacts to form another compound, the ratio of the amounts between the reactants and the products are a fraction of simple or whole numbers.<span />
Chemical Formula of Sodium Sulfate is Na₂SO₄.
As we know, 1 mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 10²³ particles. So, 1 mole of Na₂SO₄ also contains 6.022 × 10²³ formula units of Na₂SO₄.
Also,
1 mole of Na₂SO₄ contains = 6.022 × 10²³ Atoms of S
So,
4.5 moles of Na₂SO₄ will contain = X atoms of S
Solving for X,
X = (4.5 moles × 6.022 × 10²³ Atoms) ÷ 1 mole
X = 2.70 × 10²⁴ Atoms of S
Result:
4.5 Moles of Na₂SO₄ contains 2.70 × 10²⁴ Atoms of Sulfur.
