Answer:

A

Explanation:

The oxidation number of an atom is related to the charge associated with it. When an atom gains electrons, it gains negative charge, so the oxidation number goes down.

Draw Lewis structures for the following molecules. Clearly label each center atom, then identify the molecular geometry for each
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The Lewis structure is shown below.

Explanation:

In the molecule given, the central atom is the carbon (C), which must do 4 bonds. The other carbons at the molecule must do 4 bonds too, and the hydrogens must do only one bond. So, the central atom does a double bond with each carbon, and each carbon does a single bond with the two hydrogens they're bonded.

After the bonds, the central carbon has no lone pairs of electrons, so the geometry of the molecule must be linear, as shown below.

1. Is the reaction between magnesium and oxygen in the air spontaneous?<br>​
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Once ignited, a ribbon of magnesium metal burns freely in air to form solid magnesium oxide in the form of a white powder. The reaction is plainly spontaneous even though ΔS is negative.

(a) The temperature goes up by 3⁰C.

(b) There is increase in temperature, so the reaction is exothermic.

(c) Examples of exothermic reaction include, rusting of Iron, burning of coal, reaction of strong acid and water.

(d) Examples of endothermic reaction include, melting solid salts and evaporating liquid water.

<h3>What is exothermic reaction?</h3>

Exothermic reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which energy is transferred to or from the surroundings.

Examples of exothermic reactions include the following;

  • Rusting of Iron
  • Burning of Coal
  • Reaction of Strong Acid and Water
  • Water and Calcium Chloride

<h3>What is endothermic reaction?</h3>

Endothermic reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which energy is absorbed from the surroundings.

Examples of endothermic reactions include the following;

  • Melting solid salts.
  • Evaporating liquid water, etc

<h3>Change in temperature</h3>

From the increase in temperature from 15⁰C to 23⁰C, we can conclude that the temperature goes up by 3⁰C.

20⁰C - 17⁰C = 23⁰ - 20⁰C = 3⁰C.

Since there is increase in temperature, the reaction is exothermic.

Write 0.000000093425 in Scientific Notation with 4 significant figures.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The given number in scientific notation is 9.342\times 10^{-8}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Scientific notation is the notation where a number is expressed in the decimal form. This means that the number is always written in the power of 10 form. The numerical digit lies between 0.1.... to 9.9.....

If the decimal is shifting to right side, the power of 10 is negative and if the decimal is shifting to left side, the power of 10 is positive.

We are given:

A number having value = 0.000000093425

Converting this into scientific notation, we get:

\Rightarrow 0.000000093425=9.342\times 10^{-8}

Hence, the given number in scientific notation is 9.342\times 10^{-8}
