Answer:

A. NO₃⁻ ⇒ +5

B. NO₄⁺ ⇒ +9

C. N₂ ⇒ 0

D. NH₂OH ⇒ -1

E. NO₂⁻ ⇒ +3

Explanation:

To calculate the oxidation number of an element in a compound, we have to know the oxidation number of the other elements. Then, we have to consider that the sum of the oxidation number of each atom multiplied by the subscripts is equal to the net charge of the compound.

A. NO₃⁻

This is the ion nitrate. Oxygen atoms (O) has an oxidation number of -2 because it derives from an oxide. In this case, the net charge of the ion is -1. Thus, we calculate the oxidation number of N as follows:

N + (3 x (-2)) = -1

N - 6 = -1 ⇒ N= -1 + 6 = +5

B. NO₄⁺

In this case, the sum of the oxidation numbers of O and N multiplied by the subscripts is equal to +1:

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

N - 8 = +1 ⇒ N = +1 +8 = +9

C. N₂

The oxidation number of N is 0 because N₂ is an elemental substance.

D. NH₂OH

The oxidation number of H is +1 and -2 for O. The net charge of the molecule is 0.

N + (H x 3) + (O) = 0

N + (+1 x 3) + (-2) = 0

N + 3 -2 = 0 ⇒ N = 2 - 3 = -1

E. NO₂⁻

The net charge of the ion nitrite is -1.

N + (2 x O) = -1

N + (2 x (-2)) = -1 ⇒ N = -1 + 4 = +3

Therefore:

Highest oxidation number = B. NO₄⁺ (+9)

Lowest oxidation number = D. NH₂OH (-1)

Why don’t these gases tend to form chemical bonds?
erik [133]

If you’re talking about noble gases, the answer would be A. Since noble gases already have 8 electrons, they don’t tend to form chemical bonds. And elements need just 8 electrons on there shells to be stable.

Which has more neutrons: Cobalt or Nickel?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Because the most common form of Nickel is Ni-58 while the most common form of Cobalt is Co-59, this means that Cobalt (which is number 27 on the periodic table) has 27 protons and 32 neutrons. Therefore 1 less proton but 2 more neutrons and hence has a greater mass than Nickel.

3. Explain the relationship between power, energy and time.
likoan [24]
There is a very simple relationship between the three. First off, power is the amount of energy used over a certain amount of time. Energy is the capacity of carrying out that power. Lastly, time depends on how much energy you have to exert the work.

Hope this helps :)

The heating curve for a sample of pure ethanol shows the slope of the line for gaseous state is greater than the slope of the li
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

a. The specific heat capacity of the gaseous ethanol is less than the specific heat capacity of liquid ethanol.

Explanation:

The heating curve is a curve that represents temperature (T) in the y-axis vs. added heat (Q) in the x-axis. The slope is T/Q = 1/C, where C is the heat capacity. Then, the higher the slope, the lower the heat capacity. For a constant mass, it can also represent the specific heat capacity (c).

Heats of vaporization and fusion cannot be calculated from these sections of the heating curve.

<em>Which statement below explains that?</em>

<em>a. The specific heat capacity of the gaseous ethanol is less than the specific heat capacity of liquid ethanol.</em> YES.

<em>b. The specific heat capacity of the gaseous ethanol is greater than the specific heat capacity of liquid ethanol.</em> NO.

<em>c. The heat of vaporization of ethanol is less than the heat of fusion of ethanol.</em> NO.

<em>d. The heat of vaporization of ethanol is greater than the heat of fusion of ethanol.</em> NO.

True or False: In every gram of sucrose (table sugar) there is 0.513 g of oxygen
Ber [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Step 1: Find molecular formula of sucrose

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁

Step 2: Convert moles of oxygen present to grams

1 mol O = 16 g O

11 mol O = 176 g O

Step 3: Find molar mass of sucrose

C - 12.01 g/mol

H - 1.01 g/mol

O - 16.00 g/mol

12.01(12) + 22(1.01) + 11(16.00) = 342.34 g/mol C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁

Step 4: Set up dimensional analysis

1 gC_{12}H_{22}O_{11}(\frac{176 gO}{342.34gC_{12}H_{22}O_{11}} )

Step 5: Multiply/Divide and cancel out units

Grams of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ and grams of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ cancel out.

We are left with grams Oxygen

176/342.34 = 0.514109 grams Oxygen
