C. Lone elements and atoms in gases : 0

Elements in the free elemental have an oxidation number of zero

E. Elements in groups 1, 2, and 17 and polyatomic ions : Ionic charge

Group 1, 2, and 17 ions are formed by the alkali metals, alkaline metals and halogens respectively. Alkali metals, alkaline metals and halogens form +1, +2 and -1 ions respectively. Polyatiomic ions have -1, -2, -3 charges such as OH-, CO32-, PO43- respectively.

B. Hydrogen : +1, – 1 if bonded to a diatomic metal

H has an oxidation number of +1. H in metal hydrides such as NaH (sodium hydride) has an oxidation number of -1

A. Oxygen : Almost always –2

O has an oxidation number of -2.

D. Elements with multiple oxidation states : Determined by other elements in the compound

V (vanadium) has different oxidation which depends on the compound in which V is found.

A photon with 2.3 eV of energy can eject an electron from potassium. What is the corresponding wavelength of this type of light?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

$\lambda=540.16\ nm$

Explanation:

Given that:

The energy of the photon = 2.3 eV

Energy in eV can be converted to energy in J as:

1 eV = 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

So, Energy = $2.3\times 1.60\times 10^{-19}\ J=3.68\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Considering

$Energy=\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}$

Where,

h is Plank's constant having value $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js$

c is the speed of light having value $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light being bombarded

Thus,

$3.68\times 10^{-19}=\frac {6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{\lambda}$

$\frac{3.68}{10^{19}}=\frac{19.878}{10^{26}\lambda}$

$3.68\times \:10^{26}\lambda=1.9878\times 10^{20}$

$\lambda=5.40163\times 10^{-7}\ m=540.16\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Also,

1 m = 10⁻⁹ nm

So,

$\lambda=540.16\ nm$

1. A solution is a mixture. The part of<br> the solution in the greater amount is<br> called the

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Solvent

Explanation:

Many people use the solute to describe the solid being dissolved and the solvent to describe the thing doing the dissolving, but really solvent means the part of the solution with a greater amount/concentration.

For example, if you have 1 gram of salt in 10 liters of water, the water is the solvent.

Which element would have properties most like ca (calcium)?

Stels [109]

The element that would have properties most like calcium (ca) is

Beryllium (Be)

Magnesium (Mg)

Strontium (Sr)

Barium (Ba)

This are elements in group two in the periodic table. They are also known as Alkaline earth metals. They have an oxidation state of 2+ since they have two valence electrons in their outermost energy levels.

An unused flashbulb contains magnesium and oxygen. After use, the contents are changed to magnesium oxide but the total mass doe

harkovskaia [24]

Answer: Law of conservation of mass explains these observations.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products formed must be equal to the mass of reactants taken.

In order to get the same mass on both sides, the atoms of each element must be balanced on both sides of the chemical equation.

$2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO$

Mass of reactants= mass of Mg+ mass of $O_2$ = 48 g + 32 g = 80 g

Mass of products = mass of $MgO$ = 80 g

Thus mass of reactants is equal to mass of products, thus law of conservation of mass is obeyed.

If the only chemical you can find is labeled with the wrong concentration:_______

Softa [21]

Answer:inform the lab instructor and get instructions

Explanation:

If you come across a chemical in the laboratory which has been wrongly labelled, do not be quick to dilute it or take any further action. The laboratory instructor who may have prepared the reagent himself or has better knowledge about the reagent should be contacted immediately so that he/she can give you instructions about what to do with the wrongly labelled reagent.
