<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

Burka [1]

Answer:

H₂CO₃   H₂O  ⇄  HCO₃⁻  +  H₃O⁺          Ka1

HCO₃⁻  +  H₂O  ⇄  CO₃⁻²  +  H₃O⁺        Ka2

CO₃⁻²  +  H₂O  ⇄  HCO₃⁻   +  OH⁻       Kb1

HCO₃⁻  +  H₂O  ⇄   H₂CO₃  +  OH⁻     Kb2

Explanation:

Formula for carbonic acid is: H₂CO₃

It is a dyprotic acid, because it can release two protons. We can also mention that is a weak one. The equilibrums are:

H₂CO₃   H₂O  ⇄  HCO₃⁻  +  H₃O⁺          Ka1

HCO₃⁻  +  H₂O  ⇄  CO₃⁻²  +  H₃O⁺        Ka2

When the conjugate strong bases, carbonate and bicarbonate take a proton from water, the reactions are:

CO₃⁻²  +  H₂O  ⇄  HCO₃⁻   +  OH⁻       Kb1

HCO₃⁻  +  H₂O  ⇄   H₂CO₃  +  OH⁻     Kb2

Notice, that bicarbonate anion can release or take a proton to/from water. This is called amphoteric,

This is not the best way to organize a periodic table because two elements might have similar atomic mass.

<h3>What is periodic table?</h3>

Periodic table is a chart in which arrangement of chemical elements are done.

In the early periodic table elements are arranged on the basis of their atomic masses, while after sometime Moseley arranged the periodic table on the basis of atomic number as he proposed that properties of an element is justified on the basis of number if electrons.

And mass of two substances may be same so it is difficult to differentiate between them.

Hence, two elements might have similar atomic mass.

Which group (give the number) is characterized by 5 valence electrons in the configuration<br> s²p3?
Ivahew [28]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Group 5A

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Elements in the periodic table are arranged into columns known as groups and rows known as periods.
  • Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties.
  • For example, elements in group 5A have five valence electrons with the most high energy level with a configuration of s²p³.
  • Elements in group 5A include nitrogen and phosphorus among others.

17. The correct arrangement of the following elements in order of
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Got your back

Explanation:

If the ions derived from different atoms are isoelectronic species, then they all have same number of electrons in their electronic shells and will have got same electronic configuration but their nuclear charge will differ because of their difference in number of protons in the nucleus. With increase in number of protons in the nucleus the electrons are more attracted towards nucleus thereby causing the decrease in ionic radius. On this principle our problem will be solved

The given ions are

7N-3

→no. of proton

=7

and

no of electron

=10

8O-2

→

no. of proton

=8

and

no of electron

=10

9F-→

no. of proton=9

and no of electron=10

11Na→

no. of proton=11

and no of electron=10

12 Mg-3→

no. of proton=12 and

no of electron=10

Hence the increasing order of ionic radius is

12Mg-3<11Na+<9F-<8O-2<7N-3

To rmember ->For isoelectronic species lower the nuclear charge higher the radius

Identify each of the highlighted materials as an element, a compound, or a mixture, and explain your reasoning.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer 1) Butane : It is a compound which is made up by combination of elements of carbon and hydrogen together. It contains four carbon atoms which has ten atoms of hydrogen. The bonds between carbon and hydrogen are formed by covalently sharing of electrons. Therefore, butane is a compound.

Answer 2) Benzene : It is also a compound. Benzene contains six molecules of carbon and six molecules of hydrogen. They are covalently bonded with hydrogen atoms around the carbon atoms. It is termed as compound because it cannot be separated chemically.

Answer 3) Gasoline : This is an example of mixture. Gasoline usually contains mixture of many hydrocarbons in the compound state. It consists of mainly hydrocarbons which are between 4 to 12 carbon atoms per molecule (C4 - C12). It is majorly has the mixture of paraffins (which are alkanes), cycloalkanes (which are naphthenes), and olefins (which are alkenes). So, it will be correct to assign the term mixture to gasoline.

Answer 4) Kerosene - It is a mixture. Kerosene is made up of mixture of hydrocarbons. The chemical composition mainly depends on its source, but it usually consists of about ten different hydrocarbons, where each contains ten to sixteen carbon atoms per molecule. Therefore, assigning kerosene as a mixture is correct.

Answer 5) O_{2} - It is an element. The molecular formula of oxygen is O_{2}. Which states that when found in diatomic state the oxygen is stable and can exist freely in nature. The elemental form of oxygen is in the diatomic form. Therefore, oxygen ( O_{2}) is an element.
