<h3>Definition:</h3>
  • A reaction when an atom or compound loses one or more electrons.

  • It is a reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species.

  • Oxidation is gain of oxygen

<h3>For Example:</h3>

Fe + O2 —(H2O)—> Fe2O3

How many milligrams of MgI2 must be added to 257.7 mL of 0.087 M KI to produce a solution with [I−] = 0.1000 M?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The answer is 465.6 mg of MgI₂ to be added.

Explanation:

We find the mole of ion I⁻ in the final solution

C = n/V -> n = C x V = 0.2577 (L) x 0.1 (mol/L) = 0.02577 mol

But in the initial solution, there was 0.087 M KI, which can be converted into mole same as above calculation, equal to 0.02242 mol.

So we need to add an addition amount of 0.02577 - 0.02242 = 0.00335 mol of I⁻. But each molecule of MgI₂ yields two ions of I⁻, so we need to divide 0.00335 by 2 to find the mole of MgI₂, which then is 0.001675 mol.

Hence, the weight of MgI₂ must be added is

Weight of MgI₂ = 0.001675 mol x 278 g/mol = 0.4656 g = 465.6 mg

An analysis of a sugar compound is found to contain 132 grams of carbon (C), 22 grams of hydrogen (H), and 176 grams of oxygen (
ddd [48]
132 g of C  ,   22 g of H   , 176 g of O

132 + 22 + 176 => 330 g <span>of the substance

</span>Now convert the masses in <span>moles :
</span>
C = 12.0 u        H = 1.0 u       O = 16.0 u

C = 132 / 12.0 => 11 moles

H = 22 / 1.0 => 22 moles

O = 176 / 16.0 => 11 moles

Using the values obtained the lowest proportion in mols of elements present, simply divide the values found for the least of them<span>:
</span>
C = 11 / 11 => 1

H = 22 / 11 => 2

O = 11 / 11 => 1

 formula empirically <span>is : CH</span>₂O

hope this helps!

Which of the answer choices best describes elements?
lianna [129]
It can be a compound or a single element. An element is a pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical or physical means. There are about 117 elements, butcarbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen are only a few that make up the largest portion of Earth.

I would say d.

For a species with a diploid number of 26, indicate how many chromosomes will be present in the somatic nuclei of individuals th
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Haploid - 13

Triploid - 39

Tetraploid - 52

Trisomic - 27

Monosomic - 25

Explanation:

A haploid organism has half the chromosome number of a diploid version, hence 26/2 = 13

A triploid organism has 3 sets of a haploid chromosomes, hence 13 x 3 = 39

A tetraploid is double of a diploid, 26 x 2 = 52

Trisomic organisms have one extra chromosome in addition to the normal diploid. Hence 26 + 1 = 27

Monosomic organism has one less chromosome than the normal diploid. Hence 26 - 1 = 25
