1 The oxidation number of carbon in CH₂O is - 2 +2 0 +4 click here We have x + 2(+1) + (–2) = 0. This gives x = 0. 2 The value of Avogadro constant is 6.022 × 10²³ 6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹ 6.022 × 10²³ atoms 6.022 × 10²³ molecule mol⁻¹ click here answer is 6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹ 3 The largest number of molecules is in 36 g of water 28 g of carbon monoxide 46 g of ethyl alcohol 54 g of nitrogen pentoxide click here Amount of water, M/M = 36 g / 18 g mol⁻¹ = 2 mol ; Amount of carbon monoxide 28 g / 28 g mol⁻¹ = 1 mol ; Amount of ethyl alcohol=46 g / 46 g mol⁻¹ = 1 mol ; Amount of nitrogen pentoxide = 54 g / 108 g mol⁻¹ = 0.5 mol ; Larger the amount of substance, larger the number of molecules. Ans : 36 g of water 4 The oxidation state of nitrogen in N₃H is - 1/3 - 1 1/2 2 click here The oxidation of N in N3H may be computed from the expression 3x + 1 = 0. This gives x = - ⅓. 5 The oxidation state of nickel in Ni(CO)₄ is ...
