If the oxidation state of H is +1 and O is -2, what is the oxidation state of C in C2H4O?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sedbober [7]2 years ago
8 0

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.

melisa1 [442]

Answer : The chemical symbol for the element that results from this process is, (Ar) for argon.

Explanation :

Electron capture : In this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. Simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. Mass number does not change in this process.

_Z^A\textrm{X}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^A\textrm{Y}

The equation for the given reaction is,

_{19}^{40}\textrm{K}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{18}^{40}\textrm{Ar}

Thus, the chemical symbol for the element that results from this process is, argon (Ar).

Sodium metal and water react to create sodium hydrogen and hydrogen gas through the unbalanced equation.
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Theoretical yield = 2.5 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium = 79.7 g

Mass of water = 45.3 g

Theoretical yield of hydrogen gas = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂

Number of moles of sodium:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 79.7 g / 23 g/mol

Number of moles = 3.5 mol

Number of moles of water:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 45.3 g / 18g/mol

Number of moles = 2.5 mol

Now we will compare the moles of hydrogen gas with water and sodium.

                        H₂O           :             H₂

                           2             :              1

                          2.5           :            1/2×2.5 =1.25 mol

                     

                           Na           :              H₂

                             2            :               1

                           3.5           :             1/2×3.5 =1.75 mol

water will be limiting reactant.

Theoretical yield:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass =  1.25 mol  × 2 g/mol

Mass = 2.5 g

It might be c, because he came up with the plum pudding model.  or it might be that atoms of the same element are identical, but that's not true cuz ions are different and isotopes are different.
