Determine the oxidation number of sodium in Na202

Chemistry
1 answer:
Olegator [25]3 years ago
5 0

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

How many moles of CaO will be produced from 23.9 g of Ca?<br>2Ca(s) + O2(g) – 20:0(3)<br>mol​
inessss [21]

Answer:

0.6 moles of CaO will produced.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of calcium = 23.9 g

Moles of CaO produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO

Number of moles of calcium:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 23.9 g / 40 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.6 mol

Now we will compare the moles of calcium and CaO.

            Ca         :          CaO

              2          :          2

            0.6         :        0.6

 0.6 moles of CaO will produced.

What is the approximate temperature of the descending air at an elevation of 1,600 meters?
Margarita [4]
According to Diagram B, look at the 1600 elevation until you see the descending air line touches it. Then look down at the temperature at the bottom of the graph. It is between 0 degrees to 5 degrees.

The only number that is between that range is 2 degrees C.

Explain why the column of a fractional distillation apparatus should be aligned as near to the vertical as possible
____ [38]
<span><span>The column of a fractional distillation apparatus should be aligned vertical to get better separation because the column is essentially longer. It will prevent channeling in the column. </span>Therefore column efficiency will be higher if it is as vertical as possible instead of tilted.<span> Distillation is a process used to separate a mixture of two (or more) components. In a typical </span>fractional distillation, a liquid mixture is heated in the distilling flask and the process begins.</span>

What is the volume of 1.56 kg of a compound whose molar mass is 81.86 g/mole and whose density is 41.2 g/ml?
hjlf

Answer:

v = 37.9 ml

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of compound = 1.56 kg

Density = 41.2 g/ml

Volume of compound = ?

Solution:

First of all we will convert the mass into g.

1.56 ×1000 = 1560 g

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

v = m/d

v =  1560 g / 41.2 g/ml

v = 37.9 ml
