How does the oxidation state of O change in the following reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Liula [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Oxygen Doesn't change

However, Li is oxidized (0 to +1), Na is reduced (+1 to 0)

Explanation:

On reactant side, Oxygen has -2 oxidation charge because we know common oxidation states such as oxygen -2, hydrogen +1 etc.

So NaOH, O is -2, H is +1, so Na has to be +1 to equal total charge of compound

In product side, LiOH, again O has to be -2, H is +1, so Li +1 as well..

We see that oxygen oxidation state doesn't change. However, for Li it becomes oxidized going from 0 to +1 whereas, Na is reduced going from +1 to 0.

Which of the following gases experience the greatest degree of deviation from ideal behavior under high pressures and low temper
xz_007 [3.2K]

A) CH4

In general, methane reactions are difficult to control. Partial oxidation to methanol, for example, is a rather difficult reaction because the chemical reactions that occur continue to form carbon dioxide and water even though the amount of oxygen available is insufficient.

<h2>Further explanation </h2>

Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon in the form of gas with the chemical formula CH4. Pure methane does not smell, but if used for commercial purposes, a bit of sulfur is usually added to detect leaks that might occur.

Methane is a greenhouse gas. Methane is used in chemical industrial processes and can be transported as frozen liquids (liquefied natural gas, or LNG).

Methane is a major component of natural gas, around 87% of volume.

Methane is not toxic, but is highly flammable and can cause explosions when mixed with air.

Which Mixture is Homogeneous?
lana66690 [7]
The correct answer is:  [D]:  " milk " .
__________________________________________________________
Choice  [A]:  "soil" is incorrect;  since "soil" is "heterogeneous" {composed of many different "ingredients" .].
__________________________________________________________
Same with "Choice [B]: "granola" [composed of many different ingredients—clumps of sweetened oats, raisins, coconuts, etc.].
__________________________________________________________
Same with "Choice [C]:  "salad dressing".  {Notice how we usually have to "shake the bottle" ?  Composed of multiple ingredients, (e.g. oil, vinegar, and spices, or oil and other spices, and more ingredientes). 
__________________________________________________________
Choice: [D]: "milk", as a liquid, is a single, well-mixed, uniform, mixture;  as such, it is "homogeneous".   Note:  "homo-" means "same".
