As a Ca atom undergoes oxidation to Ca2+, the number of neutrons in its nucleus

2 answers:

6 0

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.

Marizza181 [45]

This is a incomplete question. The complete question is:

It takes 348 kJ/mol to break a carbon-carbon single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon. Round your answer to correct number of significant digits

Answer: 344 nm

Explanation:

$E=\frac{Nhc}{\lambda}$

E= energy = 348kJ= 348000 J (1kJ=1000J)

N = avogadro's number = $6.023\times 10^{23}$

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js
$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8ms^{-1}$

$348000=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{348000}$

$\lambda=3.44\times 10^{-7}m=344nm$ $1nm=10^{-9}m$

Thus the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 344 nm

Which best describes the relationship between the terms frequency, wavelength, and hertz?

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Frequency is the number of wavelengths, which is measured in hertz.

Explanation:

Frequency is the number of waves that go through a fixed point at a particular time. Hertz is the SI unit for frequency which means that one hertz is equal to a unit number of waver passes in a unit time to a fixed point.

As the frequency of a wave increases which means the number of waves increases in the unit time, the shorter the wavelength will be.

a higher frequency wave has more energy than a lower frequency wave with the same amplitude.

A brick has a mass of 4.0 kg and the Earth has a mass of 6.0 × 1027 g. Use this information to answer the questions below. Be su

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

a) $2.4\times 10^{24} kg$ is the mass of 1 mole of bricks.

b) $2.5\times 10^3$ moles of bricks have a mass equal to the mass of the Earth.

Explanation:

a) Mass of brick = 4.0 kg

1 mole = $N_A=6.022\times 10^{23}$ particles/ atoms/molecules

Mass of $N_A$ bricks :

$=6.022\times 10^{23}\times 4.0 kg=2.4088\times 10^{24} kg\approx 2.4\times 10^{24} kg$

$2.4\times 10^{24} kg$ is the mass of 1 mole of bricks.

Mass of the Earth = M = $6.0\times 10^{27} kg$

Mass of 1 mole of brick = m= $2.4\times 10^{24} kg$

Let the moles of brick with equal mass of the Earth be x.

$m\times x=M$

$x=\frac{M}{m}=\frac{6.0\times 10^{27}kg}{2.4\times 10^{24} kg}=2.5\times 10^3$

$2.5\times 10^3$ moles of bricks have a mass equal to the mass of the Earth.
