Chemistry

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Oxidation number is defined as the number located at the top of the symbol of an atom by either gain or loss of electrons when it chemically combines with another atom.

In H_{2}SO_{4} compound, the oxidation number of a hydrogen atom is +1  and oxidation number of an oxygen atom is -2.

Therefore, let the oxidation number of sulfur is x and calculate its value as follows.

                   2(1) + x + 4(-2) = 0      

                          x = +6

Thus, we can conclude that the oxidation number of sulfur in sulfuric acid is +6.

H2SO4

oxidation number of hydrogen :- +1

oxidation number of oxygen  :-   -2

if oxidation number of H2SO4 is x


2x (+1) + x + 4x (-2) = 0

+ 2 + x -8 = 0

x = +6

<u>oxidation number of H2SO4 :-  +6</u>

Calculate the mass in grams of benzophenone required to make a solution of 2.5 mmoles
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

0.46 grams (C₆H₅)₂CO

Explanation:

To find the mass of benzophenone ((C₆H₅)₂CO), you need to (1) convert mmoles to moles and then (2) convert moles to grams (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the conversions/ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 2 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given value (2.5 mmoles).

Molar Mass ((C₆H₅)₂CO): 13(12.011 g/mol) + 10(1.008 g/mol) + 15.998 g/mol

Molar Mass ((C₆H₅)₂CO): 182.221 g/mol

2.5 mmoles (C₆H₅)₂CO               1 mole                  182.221 g
-----------------------------------  x  ------------------------  x  -------------------  =
                                                1,000 mmoles            1 mole

=  0.46 grams (C₆H₅)₂CO

2 NH3 + 3 CuO →3 Cu + N₂ + 3 H₂O
Tatiana [17]

40.1g of nitrogen gas is produced.

The equation given is

2 NH₃ + 3 CuO →3 Cu + N₂ + 3 H₂O

This equation is already balanced.

When 3 moles of CuO are consumed, 1 mole of nitrogen gas is produced.

We get 1 mole of nitrogen from 3 moles of copper oxide.

We need to find the number of moles of nitrogen gas produced when 4.3 moles of copper oxide are consumed.

4.3/3 x 1 = 1.433 mols

  • 1.433 mols of nitrogen gas are produced
  • The molar mass of nitrogen gas is 14+14 = 28g
  • The amount of nitrogen gas produced in grams is 28x1.433 = 40.1g

40.1g of nitrogen gas can be made when 4.3 moles of CuO are consumed.
