<h2>Answer: A (+4)</h2>

Explanation:

The HCO₃ in NaHCO₃ has an oxidation state of -1. We know this because of the charge on HCO₃ and also by the fact that Na is a group 1 metal that always has a +1 oxidation state.

The sum of the oxidation states of the components of HCO₃ has to be equal to -1

⇒ H + C + 3 O = - 1

A rule of redox is that Oxygen always has a - 2 oxidation state and H usually has a + 1 oxidation state

⇒ 1 + C + 3(-2) = - 1 <em>[make C the subject of the equation and simplify]</em>

⇒ C = -1 - 1 + 6

C = + 4

A 5.0 L sample of gas at 300. K is heated to 600. K. What will the new volume of the gas be?

Ainat [17]

Answer:

$V_2=10L$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the required new volume by using the Charles' law as a directly proportional relationship between temperature and volume:

$\frac{V_2}{T_2} =\frac{V_1}{T_1}$

In such a way, we solve for V2 and plug in V1, T1 and T2 to obtain:

$V_2=\frac{V_1T_2}{T_1}\\\\V_2=\frac{5.0L*600K}{300K}\\\\V_2=10L$
