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

If metal ions in a solution were reduced, what would you expect to see?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Solid metal

Explanation:

The reduced form of metal ions is the metal in elemental state (simple substance). So, if you have a solution with metal ions and they are reduced, you probably will see the deposition of the metal. For example: if you have a solution with sodium ions (Na⁺), and the ions are then reduced, you will see the aparition of a solid phase of metallic sodium (Na(s)), according to the following half-reaction:

Na⁺ + e- → Na(s)

A chemist dissolves 1.3 mol NaCl in a 2.0-kg sample of water. What is the boiling point of this solution? (Assume that pure wate
mafiozo [28]
For this problem, the solution is exhibiting some colligative properties since the solute in the solution interferes with some of the properties of the solvent. We use equation for the boiling point elevation for this problem. We do as follows:
<span>
ΔT(boiling point)  = (Kb)mi
</span>ΔT(boiling point)  = (0.512)(1.3/2.0)(2)
ΔT(boiling point)  = 0.67 degrees Celsius
<span>
T(boiling point) = 100 + 0.67 = 100.67 degrees Celsius</span>

Which description accurately represents a water molecule
inna [77]

Answer:

The water molecule is comprised of two hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen atom,  oxygen atom has 8 electrons, and each H has 1 electron. The H atoms bond to the oxygen by sharing a pair of electrons in what is called a covalent bond. In each pair of shared electrons, one electron is contributed by the H (black) and one from the oxygen (red).
