Answer:Gained, Lost , Shared

Explanation:

The oxidation state tells you how many electrons an atom has GAINED.................. , LOST....................... , or SHARED........................ , in forming a compound.

Oxidation state is defined as the  the total number of electrons that an atom gains or loses when forming a chemical bond with another atom.

----To form an ionic bond for example in NaCl, Na, with 11 electrons and one valence electron in its outermost shell donates or lose that valence electron to Chlorine  with 17 electron and 7 in its outermost shell. Therefore Sodium, Na acquires the +1 oxidaton state to become stable and Chlorine acquires the -1 oxidation state  to become stable  forming the  NaCl compound.

To form a covalent compound, There must be sharing of electrons between atoms.For example, in PCl3,  The  phosphorous atom with atomic number 15 shares its three unpaired electrons with the single valence electrons of three chlorine atoms. making the four molecules to attain stability with  Phosphorous having +3 and the chlorine atoms having -1 oxidation states

You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 5.31. You already have a solution that contains 10. mmol (millimoles) of
Karolina [17]

Answer:

37 mmol of acetate need to add to this solution.

Explanation:

Acetic acid is an weak acid. According to Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a buffer consist of weak acid (acetic acid) and its conjugate base (acetate)-

pH=pK_{a}(acetic acid)+log[\frac{mmol of CH_{3}COO^{-}}{mmol of CH_{3}COOH }]

Here pH is 5.31, pK_{a} (acetic acid) is 4.74 and number of mmol of acetic acid is 10 mmol.

Plug in all the values in the above equation:

5.31=4.74+log[\frac{mmol of CH_{3}COO^{-}}{10}]

or, mmol of CH_{3}COO^{-} = 37

So 37 mmol of acetate need to add to this solution.

A compound is 80.0% carbon and 20.0% hydrogen by mass. assume you have a 100.-g sample of this compound. the molar mass of the c
ch4aika [34]
Basis of the calculation: 100g
 
For Carbon: 
 Mass of carbon = (100 g)(0.80) = 80 g
  Number of moles of carbon = (80 g)(1 mole / 12g) = 20/3

For Hydrogen:
  Mass of hydrogen = (100 g)(0.20) = 20 g
     Number of moles of hydrogen = (20 g)(1 mole / 1 g) = 20

Translating the answer to the formula of the substance,
     C20/3H20

Dividing the answer,
    CH3

The molar mass of the empirical formula is:
    12 + 3 = 15 g/mol

Since, the molar mass given for the molecular formula is 30.069 g/mol, the molecular equation is,
    C2H6

ANSWER: C2H6

Describe the nucleus of the<br> atom.
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The nucleus of atom is composed of two subatomic particles that each have charges.

  • Protons, which are positively charged particles.
  • Neutrons, which are neutrally charged particles.

Both reside in the nucleus of an atom. The amount of protons and neutrons (Electrons can to) is what helps us identify each atom apart. Electrons are NOT in the nucleus of atom but orbit it in outer layers called orbitals.
