Answer:

Option C. Na⁺(aq) and Cl¯(aq)

Explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained the following:

Na₂SO₄(aq) + CaCl₂(aq) —> CaSO₄(s) + 2NaCl(aq)

Ionic Equation:

2Na⁺(aq) + SO₄²¯(aq) + Ca²⁺(aq) + 2Cl¯(aq) —> CaSO₄(s) + 2Na⁺(aq) + 2Cl¯(aq)

From the ionic equation above, we can see that Na⁺(aq) and Cl¯(aq) are present on both side of the equation.

Therefore, Na⁺(aq) and Cl¯(aq) are the spectator ions because they did not participate directly in the reaction.

Veronica is taking an average of 16 height measurements in a brand-new experiment. Which term is this the best example of? repli

Karolina [17]

Answer:

repetition

Explanation:

Taking an average of 16 height measurements is an example of repetition. Repetition involves making and taking repeated measurements in an experiment.

The goal is to achieve a highly accurate and precise data from the experiment.

Replication involves duplicating another experiment and testing to see how valid they are.
Since Veronica's experiment is a brand new one, it's hypothesis has not been tested or replicated in any way.
Therefore, it is not a replication.
But she is repeating the experiment to obtain different values.

Two common methods to generate an aldehyde is by oxidation of an alcohol and through ozonolysis.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a. True.

Explanation:

Only primary and secondary alcohols can oxidise to give an aldehyde. But a weak oxidizing agent must be used to prevent formation of a carboxylic acid or ketone.

weak oxidizing agents: Chromyl chloride, silver/oxygen/500°C

take an example of ethanol:

 ${ \bf{CH _{3} CH_{2}OH \: \: \frac{Ag/O_{2} }{500 \degree C} > \: \:CH _{3} CHO}}$ 

 ${ \sf{CH _{3} CHO \: \: is \: ethanal}}$ 

By ozonolysis:

Here, reactants are Ozone gas, Carbon tetrachloride at a temperature (<20°C), ethanoic acid, zinc and water.

take an example of propanol:

if it undergoes ozonolysis, it gives ethanal and methanal.

Determine the oxidation number of sodium in Na202

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Na₂O₂

NOTE: the oxidation number of oxygen is always –2 except in peroxides where it is –1.

Thus, we can obtain the oxidation number of sodium (Na) in Na₂O₂ as illustrated below:

Na₂O₂ = 0 (oxidation number of ground state compound is zero)

2Na + 2O = 0

O = –1

2Na + 2(–1) = 0

2Na – 2 = 0

Collect like terms

2Na = 0 + 2

2Na = 2

Divide both side by 2

Na = 2/2

Na = +1

Thus, the oxidation number of sodium (Na) in Na₂O₂ is +1
