Answer:

+3

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:

+3

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.

Determine whether each of the descriptions of matter describes a heterogeneous mixture, a homogeneous mixture, or a pure substan
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer: a. two substances present; two phases present  : Heterogeneous mixture

b. two substances present; one phase present : Homogeneous mixture

c. one substance present; one phase present : pure substance.

d. one substance present; two phases present: Heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

A pure substance is a substance which contains definite composition of only one type of component. Hence, it cannot be separated by physical means.

Mixture is a substance which contains two or more than two types of components and they can be separated by physical means as well.

Homogeneous mixtures: It is a mixture that has uniform composition throughout the solution and the particle size or shapes are not different. There is no physical boundary between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium.

Heterogeneous mixtures: It is a mixture that has non-uniform composition throughout the solution and the particle size or shapes are also different.  There is a physical boundary between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium.

The "air bags" that are currently installed in automobiles to prevent injuries in the event of a crash are equipped with sodium
stellarik [79]

Answer:

0.0177 L of nitrogen will be produced

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction of sodium azide will be:

2NaN_{3}(s)--->2Na(s)+3N_{2}(g)

As per the balanced equation two moles of sodium azide will give three moles of nitrogen gas

The molecular weight of sodium azide = 65 g/mol

The mass of sodium azide used = 100 g

The moles of sodium azide used = \frac{mass}{molarmass}=\frac{100}{65}=1.54mol

so 1.54 moles of sodium azide will give = \frac{3X1.54}{2}=2.31mol

the volume will be calculated using ideal gas equation

PV=nRT

Where

P = Pressure = 1.00 atm

V = ?

n = moles = 2.31 mol

R = 0.0821 L atm / mol K

T = 25 °C = 298.15 K

Volume = \frac{P}{nRT}=\frac{1}{2.31X0.0821X298.15}=0.0177L
