7. A pupil was asked to investigate three metal oxides XO, Y20 and ZO. On heating strongly, XO broke down into a metal X and oxygen. The other two oxides did not break down.
a) From this evidence what can be deduced about the reactivity of metal X?

b) How could you test Y20 and ZO in order to find out which was the more reactive of the metals Y and Z?

A3.37-mg sample of protein was chemically digested to convert its nitrogen into ammonia and then diluted to 100.0 ml. then 10.0 ml of this solution was placed in a 50-ml volumetric flask and treated with 5 ml of phenol solution plus 2 ml of sodium hypochlorite solution. the sample was diluted to 50.0 ml, and the absorbance at 625 nm was measured in a 1.00-cm cuvette and found to be 0.486. for reference, a standard solution was prepared from 10.0 mg of nh4cl (molar mass = 53.49 grams/mole) dissolved in 1.00 l of water. then 10.0 ml of this standard was placed in a 50-ml volumetric flask, treated in the same manner as the unknown, and the absorbance found to be 0.323. finally, a reagent blank was prepared using distilled water in place of unknown, it was treated in the same manner as the unknown, and the absorbance found to be 0.076. calculate the weight percent of nitrogen in the protein.

Sugar is dissolved in water. which is the solute? sugar neither both water

Acertain atom has 22 protons and 19 electrons. this atom loses an electron. the net charge on the atom is now 4+1+01-4-. if this same atom with 22 protons and 19 electrons were to gain 3 electrons, the net charge on the atom would be 3+2+02-3-.
