Answer: The element Na (Sodium) is getting oxidized and Hydrogen is getting reduced.

Explanation:

Oxidation reactions are the reactions in which addition of oxygen takes place.

Reduction reactions are the reactions in which loss of oxygen takes place.

For a given reaction:

$2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2(g)+2NaOH(aq.)$

Sodium is getting oxidized because there is an addition of reaction with that element.

Hydrogen is getting reduced because there is a removal of oxygen with that element.

Answer:

Single replacement reaction (aka single displacement reaction)

Explanation:

In a single replacement reaction, one element is substituted for another in a compound to create a new compound and a new element in the products. The general form is:

A + BC --> B + AC

In the case of this question, Cr and Fe "trade places."

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a) 4.64 x 10 ¹⁵ molecules

b) 9.28 x 10 ¹⁵ atoms of O2

Explanation:

MW C7H14O2 = 84 + 14 + 32 = 130 g

a) 130 g of C7H14O2 ---------------- 1 mol of C7H14O2

1 x 10 ⁻⁶ g --------------- x

x = 7.7 x 10 ⁻⁹ mol

1 mol of C7H14O2 -------------- 6 .023 x 10 ²³ molecules

7.7 x 10⁻⁹ mol -------------- x

x = 4.64 x 10¹⁵ molecules

b) 130 g of C7H14O2 ---------------- 1 mol of C7H14O2

1 x 10⁻⁶ C7H14O2 ----------------- x

x = 7.7 x 10 ⁻⁹ mol of C7H14O2

1 mol of C7H14O2 --------------- 2 mol of O2

7.7 x 10 ⁻⁹ ---------------- x

x = 1.54 x 10⁻⁸ mol of O2

1 mol of O2 ----------------- 6.023 x 10 ²³ atoms

1.54 x 10 ⁻⁸ ---------------- x

x = 9.28 x 10 ¹⁵ atoms of O2
