Answer:
236 g/mol
Explanation:
This question is asking to calculate the molar mass/formula mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate with the chemical formula: Ca(NO3)2 · 4H20. This is done as follows:
Atomic mass of the constituent elements are as follows:
Ca = 40
N = 14
O = 16
H = 1
Hence, in Ca(NO3)2 · 4H20.
= 40 + {14 + 16(3)}2 + 4 {1(2) + 16}
= 40 + {14 + 48}2 + 4{2 + 16}
= 40 + {62}2 + 4{18}
= 40 + 124 + 72
= 236
Hence, the molar mass of Ca(NO3)2 · 4H20 is 236g/mol.
Answer:
C. Its oxidation number increases.
Explanation:
- <em><u>Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons by an atom while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom</u></em>.
- Atoms of elements have an oxidation number of Zero in their elemental state.
- When an atom looses electrons it undergoes oxidation and its oxidation number increases.
- For example, <em><u>an atom of sodium (Na) at its elemental state has an oxidation number of 0. When the sodium atom looses an electrons it becomes a cation, Na+, with an oxidation number of +1 , the loss of electron shows an increase in oxidation number from 0 to +1.</u></em>
D. In forward-biased setup, large numbers of charge carriers will be pulled across the junctions and result in a large current
Atoms that have different numbers of neutrons than protons and electrons are called isotopes.
