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.

Slicing an average loaf of bread gives 13 medium thickness slices. Each slice of bread is to be coated with 0.0500 oz of mayonna
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

36 loaves of bread and 18.48 ounces of mayonnaise are needed to make all of the sandwiches.

Explanation:

Number of slices of ham = 231

Given that each sandwich has 1 slice of ham.

Then 231 slices of ham will be in :

1\times 231 =231 sandwiches

A single sandwich is made up of 2 bread slices , Then bread slices in 231 sandwiches will be :

231\times 2=462

Each bread slice is applied with 0.0500 ounce of mayonnaise.

Then 462 bread slices will have :

462\times 0.0500 ounces=18.48 Oz

1 bread loaf = 13 bread slices

Then breads loves in 462  bread slices :

\frac{462}{13}=35.54\approx 36

36 loaves of bread and 18.48 ounces of mayonnaise are needed to make all of the sandwiches.

Lead(II) nitrate and ammonium iodide react to form lead(II) iodide and ammonium nitrate according to the reaction Pb ( NO 3 ) 2
nikklg [1K]

Answer : The volume of NH_4I solution required is, 2.93 L

The number of moles of PbI_2 formed from the reaction is, 0.662 moles.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the initial moles of Pb(NO_3)_2.

\text{Moles of }Pb(NO_3)_2=\text{Concentration of }Pb(NO_3)_2\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of }Pb(NO_3)_2=0.700M\times 0.945L=0.662mol

Now we have to calculate the moles of NH_4I

The balanced chemical reaction is:

Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NH_4I(aq)\rightarrow PbI_2(s)+2NH_4NO_3(aq)

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of Pb(NO_3)_2 react with 2 moles of NH_4I

So, 0.662 mole of Pb(NO_3)_2 react with 0.662\times 2=1.32 moles of NH_4I

Now we have to calculate the volume of NH_4I

\text{Volume of }NH_4I=\frac{\text{Moles of }NH_4I}{\text{Concentration of }NH_4I}

\text{Volume of }NH_4I=\frac{1.32mol}{0.450mol/L}=2.93L

Now we have to calculate the moles of PbI_2

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of Pb(NO_3)_2 react to give 1 moles of PbI_2

So, 0.662 mole of Pb(NO_3)_2 react to give 0.662 moles of PbI_2

Thus, the number of moles of PbI_2 formed from the reaction is, 0.662 moles.
