What is the oxidation state of S in H₂SO4? OA. +8 OB. +6 OC. -4 OD. -2

Chemistry

Answer:

B.) +6

Explanation:

To find the oxidation number of sulfur, we can assume the oxidation numbers of the other elements.

What I mean is, oxygen (O) always has an oxidation number of (-2). That being said, if there are 4 oxygen atoms, oxygen is contributing -8 overall. We also know that hydrogen generally has an oxidation number of (+1). Like before, if there are 2 hydrogens, it must be contributing +2.

If the overall molecule is neutral, we have to get these charges to balance out.

In essence, -8 + 2 + ? = 0?

If you combine the charges from oxygen and hydrogen, you are left with -6. Therefore, to make the molecule neutral, sulfur must have an oxidation number of +6.

Burning wool smells like burning hair while burning cotton smells like burning paper. why?
julsineya [31]
Cotton is a plant product and paper is also made from plants. So when cotton is burnt, it smells like burning paper. While wool and hair both are from animals, hence on burning they smell similar.

Tom [10]

Answer:

15.0L

Explanation:

p/v = constan

(9*21)/253 =(15v)/ 302

v = (9*21*302)/(15*253)

v=15.0

Which substance is most soluble in water? <br> 1) (NH4)3PO4<br> 2)Cu(OH)2<br> 3) AG2SO4<br> 4) CACO3
ivann1987 [24]

Answer: Option (1) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When dissolved in water, ammonium phosphate (NH_{4})_{3}PO_{4} completely dissociates into ions and it gets attached to the opposite ends of water.

Therefore, it is soluble in water.

Whereas silver sulfate (Ag_{2}SO_{4}) slightly dissolves into water as it gives very less Ag^{+} ions. Therefore, silver sulfate has low solubility.

On the other hand, both Ca(OH)_{2} and CaCO_{3} are insoluble in water.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, (NH_{4})_{3}PO_{4} is most soluble in water.

One litre of hydrogen at STP weight 0.09gm of 2 litre of gas at STP weight 2.880gm. Calculate the vapour density and molecular w
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

we know, at STP ( standard temperature and pressure).

we know, volume of 1 mole of gas = 22.4L

weight of 1 Litre of hydrogen gas = 0.09g

so, weight of 22.4 litres of hydrogen gas = 22.4 × 0.09 = 2.016g ≈ 2g = molecular weight of hydrogen gas.

similarly,

weight of 2L of a gas = 2.88gm

so, weight of 22.4 L of the gas = 2.88 × 22.4/2 = 2.88 × 11.2 = 32.256g

hence, molecular weight of the gas = 32.256g

vapor density = molecular weight/2

= 32.256/2 = 16.128g

hence, vapor density of the gas is 16.128g.
