Is sodium a lender or borrower

1 answer:

6 0

Sodium is an electron lender since it only needs to get rid of one electron to have a completed valence electron shell and therefore has a low electronegativity.

I hope this helps. let me know if anything is unclear.

Oxalic Acid, a compound found in plants and vegetables such as rhubarb, has a mass percent composition of 26.7% C, 2.24% H, and

blondinia [14]

Answer:

HCO₂

Explanation:

From the information given:

The mass of the elements are:

Carbon C = 26.7 g; Hydrogen H = 2.24 g Oxygen O = 71.1 g

To determine the empirical formula;

First thing is to find the numbers of moles of each atom.

For Carbon:

$=26.7 \ g\times \dfrac{1 \ mol }{12.01 \ g} \\ \\ =2.22 \ mol \ of \ Carbon$

For Hydrogen:

$=2.24 \ g\times \dfrac{1 \ mol }{1.008 \ g} \\ \\ =2.22 \ mol \ of \ Hydrogen$

For Oxygen:

$=71.1 \ g\times \dfrac{1 \ mol }{1.008 \ g} \\ \\ =4.44 \ mol \ of \ oxygen$

Now; we use the smallest no of moles to divide the respective moles from above.

For carbon:

$\dfrac{2.22 \ mol \ of \ carbon}{2.22} =1 \ mol \ of \ carbon$

For Hydrogen:

$\dfrac{2.22 \ mol \ of \ carbon}{2.22} =1 \ mol \ of \ hydrogen$

For Oxygen:

$\dfrac{4.44 \ mol \ of \ Oxygen}{2.22} =2 \ mol \ of \ oxygen$

Thus, the empirical formula is HCO₂

The substance doesn't have a specific name. We just say that that substance is being reduced. Remember this mnemonic - OILRIG where "Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain" of electrons.

What is the difference between the mass number for carbon- 14 and carbon's atomic number of 12.011 amu

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Great question, but I believe you are mixing up atomic number with mass number. Assuming you are, 12.011 amu is the average mass of a carbon atom. For carbon, it can come in three forms: carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14. The number following carbon is the mass number of that particular carbon "isotope". The reason the average is so close to 12 is because carbon-12 is by far the most common, so the average should be (and is) very close to 12. Therefore, 12.011 is a weighted average of all carbon molecules, and carbon-14 is a particular carbon molecule that weighs 14 amu.

When comparing the two chair conformations for a monosubstituted cyclohexane ring, which type of substituent shows the greatest

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

In this case, we have to keep in mind that in the monosubstituted product we only have to replace 1 hydrogen with another group. In this case, we are going to use the methyl group $CH_3$ .

In the axial position, we have a more steric hindrance because we have two hydrogens near to the $CH_3$ group. If we have more steric hindrance the molecule would be more unstable. In the equatorial positions, we don't any interactions because the $CH_3$ group is pointing out. If we don't have any steric hindrance the molecule will be more stable, that's why the molecule will the equatorial position.
