What is the oxidation state of C in NaHCO3? O A. +4 O B. -6 O C. +1 OD. -2

Chemistry

antiseptic1488 [7]3 years ago
8 0
<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

Answer:

8

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

t–butyl ion = (CH₃)₃C⁺

Number of valence electron =?

The valence electron(s) talks about the combining power of an element or compound as the case may be.

Considering the t–butyl ion, (CH₃)₃C⁺ we can see that it has a charge of +1 indicating that it has given out 1 electron to attain the stable octet configuration which has a valence electrons of 8. Thus, the valence electron of t–butyl ion, (CH₃)₃C⁺ is 8

Calculate the mass of 0.00456 moles of (NH4)2SO4
Anna [14]
To find the mass you need to find the weight of a mol of the molecules by adding up the atomic mass.

N =  14.007 g/mol
H = 1.008 g/mol
S = 32.065 g/mol
O = 16 g/mol

2(14.007) + 8(1.008) + 32.065 + 4(16) = 132.143 g/mol

Now you know how much an entire mol weight you multiply it by how much you actually have 

0.00456 * 132.143 = 0.603 g

How does the electron-cloud model describe electrons?
Sav [38]

Answer:

C. An electron has a high probability of being in certain regions.

Explanation:

In the electron cloud model, there are no electron-orbits around the nucleus but a cloud. This cloud has various densities with respect to distance from the nucleus. The most dense region of the cloud (which is the region close to the nucleus) is where electrons has the highest probability of existence.

The model explains that an electron a greater chance of being in the region closer to the nucleus. Thus, an electron has a high probability of being in certain region of the cloud about the central nucleus. And an electrostatic force exists between the nucleus and the electrons.
