Oxidation refers to a change in electrons (In this case, loss of electrons). It has no impact on the number of neutrons, or for that matter on any sub-atomic particles in the nucleus. So the number of neutrons (3) remains the same

Answer:

Hence the correct answer is remains the same

Explanation:

As a Ca atom undergoes oxidation to Ca2+,as follows:

Ca --- Ca 2+ + 2e-

In the process of oxidation calcium loss 2 electron only there is no change in the number of protons as well neutrons therefore there is no change in the number of neutrons in its nucleus

Hence the correct answer is remains the same

Oxidation:

Oxidation is a process in which either 1 or all following changes occurs:

1. Gaining of oxygen atoms

2. Loss of electrons

3. Loss of hydrogen atom.

4. Increasing oxidation number.

Reduction:

Reduction is a process in which either 1 or all following changes occurs:

1. Loss of oxygen atoms

2. Gaining of electrons

3. Gaining of hydrogen atom.

4. Decreasing oxidation number.

Identify the mixture of gasoline and motor oil and suggest a technique for separating their components. 1. homogeneous; decantin
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

4. homogeneous; distillation

Explanation:

Gasoline and motor oil are chemically similar. They are both mixtures of non polar hydrocarbons containing carbon and hydrogen atoms. However, motor oil is much more viscous Motor Oil. Hence we can say that the mixture of gasoline and motor oil are homogeneous and they can be separated by distillation.

Write a method that could be used to produce pure crystals of copper chloride from copper oxide and hydrochloric acid.
joja [24]

- Describe how you would make the salt from the reactants.

CuO + 2 HCl → CuCl₂ + H₂O

- Describe how you would purify the salt from the reaction mixture.

Filter the solution and let the product crystallize.

Explanation:

The reaction between copper oxide (CuO) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) will produce copper chloride (CuCl₂) and water:

CuO + 2 HCl → CuCl₂ + H₂O

-Describe how you would make the salt from the reactants

In a beaker which contain cooper oxide add the hydrochloric acid. To avoid working with concentrated hydrochloric acid, the acid may be diluted with water but make sure the add the stoechiometric amount (and a little bit of excess) in respect with the copper oxide.

-Describe how you would purify the salt from the reaction mixture.

Let the reaction proceed and then filter the solution to remove the unreacted cooper oxide.

Let the filtered solution, which contain copper chloride, water and unreacted hydrochloric acid, to stand undisturbed for several days. You may see the crystals growing from the solution. To speed up the process you may reduce the temperature.

Which elements are out of order in terms of atomic mass. co,Ni or Li,be or I,xe​
valkas [14]

Answer:

The pair co,Ni is out of order in terms of atomic mass

Explanation:

For co,Ni

Atomic mass of Co = 58.9331 u

Atomic mass of Ni = 58.6934

For Li,be

Atomic mass of Li = 6.941 u

Atomic mass of  be = 9.012182 u

For I,xe

Atomic mass of I =  126.90447 u

Atomic mass of Xe = 131.293 u

Hence, the pair co,Ni is out of order in terms of atomic mass

What is the density at STP of the gas sulfur hexafluoride, SF6?
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

There is a formula for this:

M = DRT/P where M = molar mass. This just derived from PV = nRT where you say n = grams/molar mass. However, just with this formula, we can get D which is density at STP (1 atm and 273K). We find that D = 6.52g/L.
