The oxidation number of H is -1.

Sum of the oxidation numbers in each element = charge of the complex

CaH₂ has 1 Ca atom and 2H atoms. The charge of the complex is zero. Let’s say Oxidation number of H is "a".

Then,

<span>    (+2) + 2 x a = 0 </span>

<span>        +2  + 2a  = 0</span>

                  2a = -2

                    a = -1

Hence, the oxidation number of Hydrogen atom in CaH₂ is -1

True or false. An excited state is less stable than a ground state
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: True!

Explanation: As electrons that are excited move between energy levels, they emit lots and lots of energy, in fact way more energy than ground state electrons (electrons that move within the same energy level) do, thus, making them more unstable.

A solution contains [Ba2+] = 5.0 × 10−5 M, [Zn2+] = 2.0 × 10−7 M, and [Ag+] = 3.0 × 10−5 M. Sodium oxalate (Na2C2O4) is slowly a
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

BaC₂O₄, then ZnC₂O₄, then Ag₂C₂O₄  

Explanation:

1. Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of oxalate ion

Let [C₂O₄²⁻] = c

(a) Barium oxalate

                 BaC₂O₄ ⇌   Ba²⁺   + C₂O₄²⁻

E/mol·L⁻¹:                   5.0 × 10⁻⁵     c

Ksp = [Ba²⁺][C₂O₄²⁻] = 5.0 × 10⁻⁵c = 1.5 × 10⁻⁸

c = (1.5 × 10⁻⁸)/(5.0 × 10⁻⁵) = 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹

(b) Zinc oxalate

                ZnC₂O₄ ⇌   Zn²⁺   + C₂O₄²⁻

E/mol·L⁻¹:                 2.0 × 10⁻⁷      c

Ksp = [Zn²⁺][C₂O₄²⁻] = 2.0 × 10⁻⁷c = 1.35 × 10⁻⁹

c = (1.35 × 10⁻⁹)/(2.0 × 10⁻⁷) = 6.8 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹

(c) Silver oxalate

                 Ag₂C₂O₄ ⇌   2Ag⁺   +   C₂O₄²⁻  

E/mol·L⁻¹:                      3.0 × 10⁻⁵       c

Ksp = [Ag⁺]²[C₂O₄²⁻] = (3.0× 10⁻⁵)²c = 9.0 × 10⁻¹⁰c = 1.1 × 10⁻¹¹

c = (1.1 × 10⁻¹¹)/(9.0 × 10⁻¹⁰) = 0.012 mol·L⁻¹

2. Decide the order of precipitation

BaC₂O₄ will precipitate when   c > 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹

ZnC₂O₄ will precipitate when   c > 6.8 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹

Ag₂C₂O₄ will precipitate when c > 0.028       mol·L⁻¹

This happens to be the order of increasing concentration of oxalate ion.

The order of precipitation is

BaC₂O₄, then ZnC₂O₄, then Ag₂C₂O₄

A chemist dissolves of pure potassium hydroxide in enough water to make up of solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. (The t
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

12.99

Explanation:

<em>A chemist dissolves 716. mg of pure potassium hydroxide in enough water to make up 130. mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. (The temperature of the solution is 25 °C.) Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of KOH: 716. mg (0.716 g)
  • Volume of the solution: 130. mL (0.130 L)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 0.716 g of KOH

The molar mass of KOH is 56.11 g/mol.

0.716 g × 1 mol/56.11 g = 0.0128 mol

Step 3: Calculate the molar concentration of KOH

[KOH] = 0.0128 mol/0.130 L = 0.0985 M

Step 4: Write the ionization reaction of KOH

KOH(aq) ⇒ K⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The molar ratio of KOH to OH⁻is 1:1. Then, [OH⁻] = 0.0985 M

Step 5: Calculate the pOH

We will use the following expression.

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log 0.0985 = 1.01

Step 6: Calculate the pH

We will use the following expression.

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 -1.01 = 12.99

Why is the endocrine system important?
Zepler [3.9K]
The endocrine system is important to the function of the human body because, endocrine glands release hormones into the bloodstream. Which lets the hormones travel to the cells in other parts of the body. This also helps control mood, growth and development, the way our organs work, metabolism and reproduction.

The cylinder of aluminum in class was approximately 13mm in circumference and 42mm in length. What would be it's approximate mas
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Mass, m = 1.51 grams

Explanation:

It is given that,

The circumference of Aluminium cylinder, C = 13 mm = 1.3 cm

Length of the cylinder, h = 4.2 cm

We know that the density of the Aluminium is 2.7 g/cm³

Circumference, C = 2πr

r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{1.3}{2\pi}\\\\r=0.206\ cm

Density is equal to mass per unit volume.

d=\dfrac{m}{V}

m is mass of the cylinder

V is the volume of the cylinder

V=\pi r^2h\\\\V=\dfrac{22}{7}\times0.206^2\times 4.2\\\\V=0.5601\ cm^3

So,

m=d\times V\\\\m=2.7\times 0.5601\\\\m=1.51\ g

So, the mass of the cylinder is 1.51 grams.
