<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 ion of iron has an 26 protons, 30 neutrons, and 23 electrons. What are its atomic number, atomic mass, and net charge?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Atomic number 26,atomic mass 26+30=56 dalton and net charge is 3+

Explanation:

The total number of proton present in an atom is known as the atomic number of that atom.From that point of view the atomic number of iron ion is 26.

  The total number proton and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom or ion is termed as atomic mass.From that point of view the the atomic mass of iron ion is 26+30=56 dalton

 According to the given question iron ion contain 3 more protons than electrons as a result the iron ion will contain 3 unit positive charge.

How do the solvent and solute differ in a solution
hodyreva [135]
A solution is a homogeneous mixture, meaning it contains 2 or more substances. A solute is a substance that’s dissolved in the solvent. Think of it as dissolving salt (solute) in water (solvent) to make a salt solution. The amount of each substance in the solution impacts the concentration of it. So if I put more salt than water, it increases its concentration, while adding more water decreases its concentration.
