Answer:

-1

Explanation:

According to this question, the oxidation state/number of H and O in C2H4O is +1 and -2 respectively.

The oxidation state of carbon in the compound can be calculated thus:

Where;

x represents the oxidation number of C

C2H4O = 0 (net charge)

x(2) + 1(4) - 2 = 0

2x + 4 - 2 = 0

2x + 2 = 0

2x = -2

Divide both sides by 2

x = -1

The oxidation number of C in C2H4O is -1.

If you have 100 ml of a 0.10 m tris buffer (pka 8.3) at ph 8.3 and you add 3.0 ml of 1.0 m hcl, what will be the new ph?
sukhopar [10]

The new pH is 7.69.

According to Hendersen Hasselbach equation;

The Henderson Hasselbalch equation is an approximate equation that shows the relationship between the pH or pOH of a solution and the pKa or pKb and the ratio of the concentrations of the dissociated chemical species. To calculate the pH of the buffer solution made by mixing salt and weak acid/base. It is used to calculate the pKa value. Prepare buffer solution of needed pH.

                       pH = pKa + log10 ([A–]/[HA])

Here, 100 mL  of  0.10 m TRIS buffer pH 8.3

                 pka = 8.3

         0.005 mol of TRIS.

∴  8.3 = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.005]}{[0.005]}

<em>    </em>inverse log 0 = \frac{[B]}{[A]}

   \frac{[B]}{[A]} = 1

Given; 3.0 ml of 1.0 m hcl.

           pka = 8.3

           0.003 mol of HCL.

pH = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.005-0.003]}{[0.005+0.003]}\\pH = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.002]}{[0.008]}\\\\pH = 8.3 + log {0.25}\\\\pH = 8.3 + (-0.62)\\pH = 7.69

Therefore, the new pH is 7.69.

Answer:

\rm ^{103}_{\phantom{1}40}Zr, zirconium-103.

Explanation:

In a nuclear reaction, both the mass number and atomic number will conserve.

Let ^{A}_{Z}\mathrm{X} represent the unknown particle.

The mass number of a particle is the number on the upper-left corner. The atomic number of a particle is the number on its lower-left corner under the mass number. For example, for the particle ^{A}_{Z}\mathrm{X}, A is the mass number while Z while Z is the atomic number.

Sum of mass numbers on the left-hand side of the equation:

\underbrace{239}_{^{239}_{\phantom{2}94}\mathrm{Pu}} + \underbrace{1}_{^{1}_{0}\mathrm{n}} = 240.

Note that there are three neutrons on the right-hand side of the equation. Sum of mass numbers on the right-hand side:

\underbrace{A}_{^{A}_{Z}\mathrm{X}} + \underbrace{134}_{^{134}_{\phantom{2}54}\mathrm{Xe}} + \underbrace{3\times 1}_{3\;^{1}_{0}\mathrm{n}} = A + 137.

Mass number conserves. As a result,

A + 137 = 240.

Solve this equation for A:

A = 103.

Among the five choices, the only particle with a mass number of 103 is \rm ^{103}_{\phantom{1}40}Zr. Make sure that atomic number also conserves.
