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.

Balancee por tanteo las siguientes ecuaciones químicas. Escriba el nombre a reactantes y productos. H2O5 + H2O ---&gt; HNO3 Na2O
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

a. N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ 2 HNO₃ (pentóxido de dinitrógeno + agua ⇒ ácido nítrico)

b. Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ 2 NaOH (óxido de sodio + agua ⇒ hidróxido de sodio)

Explanation:

Tenemos que balancear, por el método de tanteo, las siguientes ecuaciones químicas.

a. En la primera reacción, el pentóxido de dinitrógeno reacciona con agua para formar ácido nítrico. Es una reacción de síntesis o combinación.

N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ HNO₃

Podremos obtener la ecuación balanceada si multiplicamos HNO₃ por 2.

N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ 2 HNO₃

b. En la segunda reacción, óxido de sodio reacciona con agua para formar hidróxido de sodio. Es una reacción de síntesis o combinación.

Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ NaOH

Podremos obtener la ecuación balanceada si multiplicamos NaOH por 2.

Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ 2 NaOH
