<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

There are 31.1 grams (g) in 1 troy ounce (ozt). How many ozt of gold are extracted from 1 short ton of average Nevada ore

devlian [24]

This problem is providing us with the mass equivalent to one troy ounce. Thus, the troy ounces of gold in one short ton of average Nevada ore is required and found to be the 0.103 otz according to the following dimensional analysis.

<h3>Dimensional analysis</h3>

In chemistry, a raft of problems do not always provide an equation in order to be solved yet dimensional analysis can be applied, so as to obtain the desired amount in the required units.

Thus, since this problem asks for try ounces in an average Nevada ore, which has 3.2 grams of gold per short ton of ore, one can solve the following setup in order to obtain the required answer in otz:

$\frac{3.2gAu}{1short-ton}*1short-ton*\frac{1otz}{31.1g} \\$

Where the short tons are cancelled out as well as the grams, in order to obtain:

$0.103 otz$
