Answer:
The O atom will tend to attract the electrons.
Explanation:
The electronegativity of O (3.5) is much higher than H (2.1), which means it is more likely to attract electrons. The higher the electronegativity, the more attractive.

Explanation:
An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed and the change in enthalpy for the reaction is positive.
If we look at the reaction 2HgO + 45kcal ----> 2Hg + O2; we will notice that
i) 45kcal of energy was taken in (absorbed) for the reaction to occur
ii) The value of the reaction enthalpy is positive
For these two reasons, the reaction is an endothermic reaction as written.
Answer:
Explanation:
Firstly, we have to determine the mass of metal X. We can do that by interpreting the first and second statement mathematically.
Metal X can form 2 oxides (A and B).
A + B = 3g
The mass of oxygen in A is 0.72g and the mass of oxygen in B is 1.16g.
The mass of metal X in the two oxides will be the same because it's the same metal.
Thus, we represent the mass of the metal in the two oxides as 2X.
2X + 0.72 + 1.16 = 3
2X + 1.88 = 3
2X = 3 - 1.88
2X = 1.12
X = 0.56
<u>Thus, 0.56 g of the metal combines with 0.72g of oxygen in A and 1.16 g of oxygen in B.</u>
Thus, mass of metal (X) in 1g of oxygen in A is
0.56g ⇒ 0.72g
X ⇒ 1
X = 1 × 0.56/0.72
X = 0.78 g
Hence, 0.78g of the metal will combine with 1g of oxygen for A
Also, mass of metal (X) in 1g of oxygen in B is
0.56g ⇒ 1.16g
X ⇒ 1g
X = 1×0.56/1.16
X = 0.48 g
Thus, 0.48g of the metal will combine with 1g of oxygen for B
Hey there!:
HCl + MnO2 → MnCl2 + H2O + Cl2
* in HCl the oxidation state of Cl is -1 .
* on the product side the oxidation state is 0 .
* therefore Cl gains electrons .
* in MnO2 the oxidation state of Mn is +4
* in MnCl2 the oxidation state of Mn is +2
Therefore Mn loses electrons
Answer A
Hope That helps!
Ca + 2HCl = CaCl₂ + H₂
c=4.50 mol/l
v=2.20 l
n(HCl)=cv
m(Ca)/M(Ca)=n(HCl)/2
m(Ca)=M(Ca)cv/2
m(Ca)=40g/mol·4.50mol/l·2.20l/2=198 g
198 grams of Ca are needed
