Answer:
Two electrons each!
Explanation:
The question pretty much requires us to find the oxidation number of Zinc in the compound.
Zn3P2
Following oxidation number rules;
O.N of Zn3P2 = 0
.Since phosphorus has valence of 5, it needs three more electrons to achieve its octet state. Hence;
Oxidation number of P = -3
Let oxidation number of Zn = x
We have;
3x + 2 (-3) = 0
3x + (-6) = 0
3x = 6
x = 6/3 = 2
This means each zn electrons lost 2 electrons.
Answer:
a. 0.68 M NaCl solution
Explanation:
The tonicity of a solution can either be hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic. Hypertonic solution is a solution which possesses a higher concentration of solute in relation to another solution.
According to this question, a solution is said to contain 0.15 M NaCl solute. This means that a solution that will be hypertonic to this solution will have a much more concentration of solute, which based on the options provided is the 0.68 M NaCl solution.
Answer:
+1
Explanation:
Na₂O₂
NOTE: the oxidation number of oxygen is always –2 except in peroxides where it is –1.
Thus, we can obtain the oxidation number of sodium (Na) in Na₂O₂ as illustrated below:
Na₂O₂ = 0 (oxidation number of ground state compound is zero)
2Na + 2O = 0
O = –1
2Na + 2(–1) = 0
2Na – 2 = 0
Collect like terms
2Na = 0 + 2
2Na = 2
Divide both side by 2
Na = 2/2
Na = +1
Thus, the oxidation number of sodium (Na) in Na₂O₂ is +1
Answer:
water, carbon dioxide reacted in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll and form glucose and oxygen.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis:
It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.
Carbon dioxide + water + energy → glucose + oxygen
water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture by chloroplast.
Chemical equation:
6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
it is known from balanced chemical equation that 6 moles of carbon dioxide react with the six moles of water so, the mass of water will be,
The glucose is converted into pyruvate and prod
