Show how the total charge sodium oxide is zero

1 answer:

6 0

First, the symbol for sodium oxide is Na₂O

Each Na (sodium) has a charge of 1+, and each O has a charge of 2- :

Na₂¹⁺O²⁻

There are two Na's, however, and each one is 1+, however, so the Na₂ has a total charge of 2+. Because of this, the 2+ from the 2 Na's and the 2- from the O cancel each other out to make 0.

Give two different conditions under which long chain hydrocarbons may be cracked.

sammy [17]

In thermal cracking, high temperatures (typically in the range of 450°C to 750°C) and pressures (up to about 70 atmospheres) are used to break the large hydrocarbons into smaller ones. Thermal cracking gives mixtures of products containing high proportions of hydrocarbons with double bonds - alkenes.

Answer:

eight oxygen atoms

Explanation:

This formula shows that in one mole of this compound, there are 3 moles of Ca atoms that combine with 2 moles of the PO4(phosphate) groups, which gives a total of 2 moles of P atoms and 8 moles of 0 atoms.
