8. What is the oxidation number of N in KNO3?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elza [17]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The oxidation state of N in the KNO3 is +5

Explanation:

Oxidation rules:

1. Oxygen is -2, unless in peroxides.

2. Group 1 metals = +1

3. Group 2 metals = +2

4. If the molecule is neutral, all of the oxidation numbers have to add up to zero.

5. If the molecule is charged, all of the oxidation numbers have to add up to the charge of the molecule.  

So, the given formula represents the salt compound formula unit of potassium nitrate:  KNO3  

The formula unit is uncharged.

From our rules, we know that,

O = -2

And we can find K on the periodic table, in the first group, thus giving it a +1 charge. Now let's put it all together.

K = +1

N = x

O = -2

Let's take into account the number of atoms of each element we have and make an equation since we know everything has to add up to zero since the molecules are neutral.

+1 +x+3 (-2) = 0 (notice we multiplied 3 by -2 because in the formula we have 3 atoms of oxygen with -2 charge each)

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

Therefore, the oxidation number of N in KNO3 is +5.

What happens during a chemical reaction?
frozen [14]

Answer: The reactants’ bonds break, and bonds of the products form.

Explanation:

When a chemical reaction takes place, the bonds are broken and new bonds are formed to make new molecules. Like when 2 water molecules are broken down to form hydrogen and oxygen.

Which organism would have the most variation in the DNA of its offspring?
Arada [10]

The organism that would have the most variation in the DNA of its offspring is the cat (Option C). Meiosis is a type of cell division that generates more genetic variability than asexual types of reproduction.

Meiosis is a type of reductional cell division by which a parental cell produces 4 daughter cells (gametes), each containing half of the genetic material.

Animals (e.g., cats) generate gametes by meiosis which fuse during fertilization to produce new offspring.

Both amoeba and bacteria reproduce by a type of asexual reproduction called binary fission. Moreover, yeasts also reproduce asexually by a process called budding and fission.

Both asexual and sexual types of reproduction generate genetic variability by the emergence of new mutations in daughter cells.

Meiosis generates much more genetic variability than asexual types of reproduction due to two different processes:

  • Random assortment of chromosomes, which produces new allele combinations.

  • Recombination, i.e., by the exchange of genetic material (DNA) between non-sister chromatids during Prophase I.

Escribe aquí algo que consideres que requiere un balance para que se lleve a cabo correctamente:
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Direct weighing means that an object is placed directly on a balance and the mass read. Weighing directly requires that the balance be carefully zeroed (reads zero with nothing on the balance pan) in order to obtain accurate results.
