5 0
Ca3(PO3)2

Oxidation numbers:
Ca ---- +2
P----x
O---- -2

+2*3 +x*2 - 2*6 = 0
6 + 2x -12 = 0
2x = 6
x = +3

Oxidation number  of P is +3.

Which equation represents the total ionic equation for the reaction of HNO3 and NaOH? Upper H superscript plus, plus upper O upp
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Total Ionic equation:

H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq) + Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

HNO₃ + NaOH →  NaNO₃ + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

HNO₃(aq) + NaOH(aq) →  NaNO₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

Total Ionic equation:

H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq) + Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l)  

The NO₃⁻ (aq)  and Na⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The water can not be splitted into ions because it is present in liquid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation

It is thought that Vitamin C might be an effective preventative
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

IF the fruit juice contains a high level of vitamin C, THEN the preventative effectiveness against common cold increases.

Explanation:

The hypothesis is a testable explanation of a scientific investigation. It aims at predicting the outcome of the experiment. One feature of the hypothesis is that it must be testable. The hypothesis is usually written in an "IF, THEN" format.

This question is regarding an experiment to test the amount of vitamin C in fruit juice. The vitamin C is thought to be an effective preventative against common cold. Hence, the hypothesis connects the effect on common cold (dependent variable) with the amount of vitamin C (independent variable). The hypothesis can be written as:

IF the fruit juice contains a high level of vitamin C, THEN the preventative effectiveness against common cold increases.

Find the percentage of mass in each of the element Ca ( HCO3)2 (Ca= 40, H = 1, O = 16, C= 35)​
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

% Ca = 24.69%

% H = 1.2%

% C = 14.8%

% O = 59.25%

Explanation:

The percentage by mass of each element can be calculated by dividing the mass of each element in the compound by the molar mass of the compound.

Molar mass of Ca(HCO3)2

Where; (Ca= 40, H = 1, O = 16, C= 12)

= 40 + {1 + 12 + 16(3)}2

= 40 + {13 + 48}2

= 40 + {61}2

= 40 + 122

= 162g/mol

- % mass of Ca = 40/162 × 100

= 0.2469 × 100

= 24.69%

- % mass of H = 2/162 × 100

= 0.012 × 100

= 1.2%

- % mass of C = 24/162 × 100

= 0.148 × 100

= 14.8%

- % mass of O = 96/162 × 100

= 0.5925 × 100

= 59.25%
