<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:

6.67 moles

Explanation:

Given that:-

Moles of hydrogen gas produced = 10.0 moles

According the reaction shown below:-

$2Al + 6HCl\rightarrow 2AlCl_3 +3H_2$

3 moles of hydrogen gas are produced when 2 moles of aluminium undergoes reaction.

Also,

1 mole of hydrogen gas are produced when $\frac{2}{3}$ moles of aluminium undergoes reaction.

So,

10.0 moles of hydrogen gas are produced when $\frac{2}{3}\times 10.0$ moles of aluminium undergoes reaction.

<u>Moles of Al needed = $\frac{2}{3}\times 10.0$ moles = 6.67 moles</u>

Calculate the molecular weight of a substance. In which the solution of this substance in the water has a concentration of 7 per

Eduardwww [97]

Answer : The molecular weight of a substance is 157.3 g/mol

Explanation :

As we are given that 7 % by weight that means 7 grams of solute present in 100 grams of solution.

Mass of solute = 7 g

Mass of solution = 100 g

Mass of solvent = 100 - 7 = 93 g

Formula used :

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m\\\\T_f^o-T_f=k_f\times\frac{\text{Mass of substance(solute)}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of substance(solute)}\times \text{Mass of water(solvent)}}$
