Answer:

Explanation:

The oxygen all have a -2 oxidation state. (peroxides are exceptions)

The chemical structure is symmetrical. Both carbon are equivalent.

2 (oxidation state of carbon) + 4 (oxidation state of oxygen) = charge of ion.

2 (oxidation state of carbon) + 4 (-2) = -2

oxidation state of carbon = +3

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by knowing that the molecule has the following oxidation states structure, one can solve for the carbon's oxidation state via the total ion's charge as shown below:

$(C_2^xO_4^{-2})^{2-}\\2x-8=-2\\x=\frac{-2+8}{2}=+3$

Therefore, the carbon's oxidation state is +3

Best regards.

A 125g metal block at a temperature of 93.2 degrees Celsius was immersed in 100g of water at 18.3 degrees Celsius. Given the spe

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{34.2\, ^{\circ}\text{C}}$

Explanation:

There are two heat transfers involved: the heat lost by the metal block and the heat gained by the water.

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can neither be destroyed nor created, so the sum of these terms must be zero.

Let the metal be Component 1 and the water be Component 2.

Data:

For the metal:

$m_{1} =\text{125 g; }T_{i} = 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C; }\\C_{1} = 0.900 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}$

For the water:

$m_{2} =\text{100 g; }T_{i} = 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C; }\\C_{2} = 4.184 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Heat lost by metal + heat gained by water} & = & 0\\q_{1} + q_{2} & = & 0\\m_{1}C_{1}\Delta T_{1} + m_{2}C_{2}\Delta T_{2} & = & 0\\\text{125 g}\times 0.900 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$} \times\Delta T_{1} + \text{100 g} \times 4.184 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}\Delta \times T_{2} & = & 0\\112.5\Delta T_{1} + 418.4\Delta T_{2} & = & 0\\112.5\Delta T_{1} & = & -418.4\Delta T_{2}\\\Delta T_{1} & = & -3.719\Delta T_{2}\\\end{array}$

$\Delta T_{1} = T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\\Delta T_{2} = T_{\text{f}} - 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\Delta T_{1} & = & -3.719\Delta T_{2}\\T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & -3.719 (T_{\text{f}} - 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C})\\T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & -3.719T_{\text{f}} + 68.06 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\4.719T_{\text{f}} & = & 161.3 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\T_{\text{f}} & = & \mathbf{34.2 ^{\circ}}\textbf{C}\\\end{array}\\\text{The final temperature of the block and the water is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{34.2\, ^{\circ}}\textbf{C}}$}$

For the reaction Na2CO3+Ca(NO3)2⟶CaCO3+2NaNO3 how many grams of calcium carbonate, CaCO3, are produced from 79.3 g of sodium car

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

74.81 grams of calcium carbonate are produced from 79.3 g of sodium carbonate.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

Na₂CO₃ + Ca(NO₃)₂ ⟶ CaCO₃ + 2 NaNO₃

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

Na₂CO₃: 1 mole
Ca(NO₃)₂: 1 mole
CaCO₃: 1 mole
NaNO₃: 2 mole

Being the molar mass of the compounds:

Na₂CO₃: 106 g/mole
Ca(NO₃)₂: 164 g/mole
CaCO₃: 100 g/mole
NaNO₃: 85 g/mole

then by stoichiometry the following quantities of mass participate in the reaction:

Na₂CO₃: 1 mole* 106 g/mole= 106 g
Ca(NO₃)₂: 1 mole* 164 g/mole= 164 g
CaCO₃: 1 mole* 100 g/mole= 100 g
NaNO₃: 2 mole* 85 g/mole= 170 g

You can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 106 grams of Na₂CO₃ produce 100 grams of CaCO₃, 79.3 grams of Na₂CO₃ produce how much mass of CaCO₃?

$mass of CaCO_{3} =\frac{79.3 grams of Na_{2} CO_{3} *100 grams of of CaCO_{3}}{106 grams of Na_{2} CO_{3}}$

mass of CaCO₃= 74.81 grams

<u><em>74.81 grams of calcium carbonate are produced from 79.3 g of sodium carbonate.</em></u>

Continental crust is younger than oceanic crust.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The answer is true.

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

The answer is true.

When a crust undergoes great tension, a crack opens and the oceanic crust begins to form. As the crack enlarges, the continent is splitting. Thus an oceanic crust forms. So the oceanic crust is younger than the earth's crust.
