<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

Dry ice changes from a solid directly into a gas at room temperature. Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The process in which a solid changes directly to a gas is called sublimation. It occurs when the particles of a solid absorb enough energy to completely overcome the force of attraction between them. Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide, CO2) is an example of a solid that undergoes sublimation.

How many moles of sodium cyanide (NaCN) would be needed to produce 4.2 moles of sodium sulfate (Na2SO4)? H2SO4 + 2NaCN → 2HCN +
leonid [27]
The purpose of a chemical equation is to relate the amounts of reactants to the amounts of products based on the rate each is consumed. In this problem, one mole of sulfuric acid is consumed along with two moles of sodium cyanide to produce two moles of hydrocyanic acid and one mole of sodium sulfate. The relationship between sodium cyanide and sodium sulfate is 2:1, meaning that two moles of NaCN is required to produce one mole of sodium sulfate.

To produce 4.2 moles of sodium sulfate, two times this amount of NaCN is required. This means that you would need 8.4 moles of sodium cyanide.

Hope this helps!
