<u>Answer:</u> The correct statements are:

An oxidizing agent gains electrons and Zn^{2+} is formed from the oxidation of Zn(s).

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given options:

  • <u>Statement 1</u>: The oxidation number for Cu(s) is +2

Copper is the 29th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ar]3d^{10}4s^1

This element can show +1 or +2 oxidation states. Thus, this statement is false.

  • <u>Statement 2:</u> An oxidizing agent gains electrons.

Oxidizing agents are defined as the agents which oxidize other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions and reduction reaction is the reaction in which an atom gains electrons.

Thus, this statement is True.

  • <u>Statement 3:</u>  Na^+ is formed from the reduction of Na(s)

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the atom increases.

X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-

Sodium is the 11th element and it will loose electrons to form sodium ion.

Na\rightarrow Na^++e^-

Hence, this statement is false.

  • <u>Statement 4:</u> The oxidation number for Hg(l) is 0.

Mercury is the 80th element of the periodic tale having electronic configuration of [Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}6s^2

This element can show +1 or +2 oxidation states. Thus, this statement is false.

  • <u>Statement 5:</u> A reducing agent gains electrons.

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes oxidation reactions and oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom looses its electrons.

Thus, this statement is false.

  • <u>Statement 6:</u>  Zn^{2+} is formed from the oxidation of Zn(s)

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the atom increases.

X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-

Zinc is the 30th element and it will loose electrons to form zinc ion.

Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

Thus, this statement is True.

Hence, the correct statements are:

An oxidizing agent gains electrons and Zn^{2+} is formed from the oxidation of Zn(s).

How many valance electrons does group #11 have?
galina1969 [7]

It would have 11 valance electrons.

Example/Explanation:

Say we are talking about groups 10. Group 10 would have 10 valance electrons because of the atom's electronic arrangement in the periodic table.

A solution contains 6.21 g of ethylene glycol dissolved in 25.0 g of water. If water has a boiling point elevation constant of 0
timurjin [86]
Calculate first the number of moles of ethylene glycol by dividing the mass by the molar mass.
                           n = (6.21 g ethylene glycol) / 62.1 g/mol
                              n = 0.1 mol
Then, calculate the molality by dividing the number of moles by the mass of water (in kg).
                           m = 0.1 mol/ (0.025 kg) = 4m
Then, use the equation,
                       Tb,f = Tb,i + (kb)(m)
Substituting the known values,
                       Tb,f = 100°C + (0.512°C.kg/mol)(4 mol/kg)
                          <em>Tb,f = 102.048°C</em>

Calculate the volume of this irregular solid to the nearest cubic centimeter​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

8 cm3

Explanation:

The volume of this irregular solid will calculated as the difference between the final volume and the initial volume;

The final volume of the water and the solid is 25 ml

The initial volume of the water alone was 17 ml

The volume of the irregular solid is thus approximately;

25 - 17 = 8 ml

We then use the conversion;

1 cm3 = 1 mL

Thus the volume of the solid is 8 cm3
