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

Which statement is correct about the rate of chemical reactions?
ratelena [41]

Answer:

It increases when a catalyst is added.

Explanation:

The following factors control reaction rates:

1. Nature of reactants

2. Concentration of the reactants or pressure of gaseous

3. Temperature

4. Presence of catalyst

5. Sunlight

The addition of a foreign body to a reaction may influence the speed of the reaction. If a foreign body increases the rate of reaction, it is a called a positive catalyst or simply a catalyst. A negative catalyst is called an inhibitor.

A catalyst is a substance that is introduced into a chemical reaction to change the rate of the reaction without itself being affected at the end of the reaction.

Catalysts helps to reduce reaction time of many slow reactions. Most catalysts are specific in their actions and works on certain reactions or substrates.

Temperature change has a considerable effect on reaction rates since temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of reacting particles. Generally, reaction rate varies as temperature directly.

ratelena [41]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Atomic mass = 65.39 g

Searching this number in the periodic table we find that the element is Zinc.

Then:

# of Protons = 30

# of neutrons = atomic mass - # of protons

                       = 65.39 - 30

                        = 35.39

# of electrons = # of protons = 30

After mixing an excess PbCl2 with a fixed amount of water, it is found that the equilibrium concentration of Pb2 is
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Ksp = 8.8x10⁻⁵

Explanation:

<em>Full question is:</em>

<em>After mixing an excess PbCl2 with a fixed amount of water, it is found that the equilibrium concentration of Pb2+ is 2.8 × 10–2 M. What is Ksp for PbCl2?</em>

<em />

When an excess of PbCl₂ is added to water, Pb²⁺ and Cl⁻ ions are produced following Ksp equilibrium:

PbCl₂(s) ⇄ Pb²⁺ + 2Cl⁻

Ksp = [Pb²⁺] [Cl⁻]²

If an excess of PbCl₂ was added, an amount of Pb²⁺ is produced (X) and twice Pb²⁺ is produced as Cl⁻ (2X):

Ksp = [X] [2X]²

Ksp = 4X³

As X is the amount of Pb²⁺ = 2.8x10⁻²M:

Ksp = 4(2.8x10⁻²)³

<h3>Ksp = 8.8x10⁻⁵</h3>
