<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

An electron jumps from energy level 1 to energy level 2 by absorbing a photon of energy 8 eV. What is the most likely energy of
Mkey [24]

Answer:

C. 8 eV

Explanation:

In atoms, the energy of each level is quantised. That is one of the reasons why an electron can not exist between energy levels. Thus, when the electron absorbs energy of 8 ev, it get excited and jumps to energy level 2 which has the current value of energy of the electron.

Thus for the electron to move back to its initial energy level, it must emit the exact energy absorbed for its excitation. Therefore, the likely energy of the photon that will be emitted is 8 ev. This would make the electron to have energy that would make it to exist on energy level 1.
