Answer:

C. ammonia, nitrogen gas, nitrous oxide, nitrite, nitrate

Explanation:

To establish the oxidation number of nitrogen in each compound, we know that the sum of the oxidation numbers of the elements is equal to the charge of the species.

Nitrite ion (NO₂⁻)

1 × N + 2 × O = -1

1 × N + 2 × (-2) = -1

N = +3

Nitrous oxide (NO)

1 × N + 1 × O = 0

1 × N + 1 × (-2) = 0

N = +2

Nitrate ion (NO₃⁻)

1 × N + 3 × O = -1

1 × N + 3 × (-2) = -1

N = +5

Ammonia (NH₃)

1 × N + 3 × H = 0

1 × N + 3 × (+1) = 0

N = -3

Nitrogen gas (N₂)

2 × N = 0

N = 0

The order of increasing nitrogen oxidation state is:

C. ammonia, nitrogen gas, nitrous oxide, nitrite, nitrate

The answer is 7.33 g.

<span>To calculate this, we will use the the ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
where
P - pressure of the gas,
V - volume of the gas,
n - amount of substance of gas,
R - gas constant,
T - temperature of the gas.</span>

Since the amount of substance of gas (n) can be expressed as mass (m) divided by molar mass (M), then:

PV = RTm/M

It is given:

P = 0.98 atm

V = 10.2 l

T = 26°C = 299.15 K 

R = 0.082 l atm/Kmol (gas constant)

M (H2O) = 2Ar(H) + Ar(O) = 2*1 + 16 = 2 + 16 = 18g

m = ?

Since PV = RTm/M, then:

m = PVM/RT

m = 0.98 · 10.2 · 18 / 0.082 · 299.15 = 179.928/24.5303 = 7.33 g

Answer: 27 is A and 28 is C.

Explanation: I’ll explain 28 but not 27 because that’s just definitions.

In CuSO4 there is a Cu, an S, and 4 O molecules. Add them up you get 6.

Calculate the molecular mass of carbon monoxide (CO) by adding the atomic mass of carbon (C) and the atomic mass of oxygen (O):
Bond [772]

 The   molecular   mass  of carbon monoxide (CO)  is  28 g/mol


   <u><em>calculation</em></u>

The  molecular  mass  of CO =  atomic mass  of C + atomic  mass  of O

From  periodic table the atomic  mass  of  C = 12 g/mol and for O = 16 g/mol


Therefore the molecular  mass   of Co = 12 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 28 g/mol

The net gain of energy in glycolysis from one molecule of glucose is
asambeis [7]

Answer:

2 ATP

Explanation:

glycolysis is the beginning of cellular respiration and it yielded net ATP of two produced from 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate conversion to 3-phosphoglycerate (2 ATP) and conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate ( 2ATP). One will recall that 2 ATP had been expended in the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, and in the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose -1,6- bisphosphate. Other product of glycolysis are 2 NADH, 2 Pyruvate that may go into kreb  cycle for further energy production depending on the organism type of respiration.
