The oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The oxidation number of an atom is the charge that atom would have if the compound was composed of ions. 1. The oxidation number of an atom is zero in a neutral substance that contains atoms of only one element. The oxidation number of simple ions is equal to the charge on the ion.
The oxidation number of a mono atomic ion equals the charge of the ion. The oxidation number of H is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electro negative elements. The oxidation number of O in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides. The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.
because it can influence how frequently and sufficiently the particles collide depending on the space it has to do so, for example a large surface area would be have a slower rate of reaction and a lower temperature. (the rate of reaction in terms of concentration, it is diffused from high to low)
Answer: 292.54g of Ag
Explanation:
Cu + 2AgNO3 →Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag
mass conc. Of Ag = n x molar Mass
Mass conc. Of Ag = 2 x 108 = 216g
From the equation,
63.5g of Cu produced 216g of Ag
Therefore, 86g of Cu will produce Xg of Ag. i.e
Xg of Ag = (86 x 216)/63.5 = 292.54g
The postulate of Dalton's atomic theory that atom is indivisible particle and can be subdivided into smaller particles was later changed because atom can be divided into neutrons, protons and electrons. It was changed because after later finding out that the atom can be divided, the theory was changed to the correct finalized theory.
Hope this helps!!!
