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

Chemistry

Sedbober [7]3 years ago

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.

State Beer-Lambert's law?
Sidana [21]
Beer's law (sometimes called the Beer-Lambert law) states that the absorbance is proportional to the path length, b, through the sample and the concentration of the absorbing species, c: A α b · c. The proportionality constant is sometimes given the symbol a, giving Beer's law an alphabetic look: A = a · b · c.

6) A rectangular fish tank is 70.00 cm long, 300.00 mm wide, and 300.00 m deep.
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Volume of water it can hold 63000,000 cm³

Mass of water is 63000,000 g.

Explanation:

Given data:

Length of tank  = 70.00 cm

Width of tank = 300.00 mm

Height of tank = 300.00 m

Volume of water it can hold  = ?

Mass of water = ?

Solution:

First of all we will convert the units into same unit.

Width of tank = 300.00 mm × 1 cm / 10 mm = 30 cm

Height of tank = 300.00 m× 100 cm / 1 m = 30000 cm

Volume of water it can hold:

V = l×w×h

V = 70.00 cm × 30 cm × 30000 cm

V = 63000,000 cm³

Mass of water:

Density of water from literature = 1 g/cm³

d = m/v

1 g/cm³ = m/ 63000,000 cm³

m = 63000,000 g
