Chemistry

antiseptic1488 [7]2 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

What happens if you overheat copper sulfate
Sergio039 [100]
If  you  overheat  copper  sulfate  higher  of   mass  will  be  lost that  is  copper  sulfate  will  loss  sulfur  and  oxygen which  led to a  higher loss  of  mass than  if  you  would   have heated enough. This  higher  mass lost will  be shown  in  calculation  as  percentage of  water  lost

SOMEONE, PLEASE HELP!!

Part 1:  

The process that arrow C signifies is the burning of fossil fuels in order to present carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The mentioned procedure in the carbon cycle is comparatively new as humans were not able to generate huge concentrations of carbon dioxide by burning fossil fuels until the emergence of the Industrial revolution.  

Part 2:  

The phenomenon, which could discharge the compound into the air is the burning of fuels. It is an oxidation reaction in which the carbon present in the hydrocarbons in the fuel is oxidized to carbon dioxide by the presence of oxygen in the air. The carbon dioxide discharged into the atmosphere contributes to the greenhouse effect.  

Part 3:  

The elements, which produce it are conserved at the time of the carbon cycle by the Law of Conservation of Matter. According to this law, the matter is neither consumed nor produced, it only gets transformed. So, at the time of chemical procedures in the carbon cycle, the atoms of carbon are never destructed, however, they get rearrange and modify into distinct molecules. The mentioned cycle is essential for maintaining life on Earth.

This reaction shows the complete combustion of octane, C8H18, a component of gasoline. How many moles of O2 are needed to burn 2
ANTONII [103]
How you're going to answer this question is by doing a mole t - chart first you're going to put 2.40 mol of C8H18 opposite of the mol then you're going to find o2 which 256 on the bottom then multiply across to get the answer.

Hope this help, message me if you need more help
