What is the oxidation number sulfur in H2S?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nikolay [14]1 year ago
4 0

The oxidation number sulfur in H₂S is -2.

A compound's total number of oxidations must be zero.

The two hydrogen atoms in the chemical hydrogen sulfide, H₂S, each have an oxidation number of +1, making a total of +2. As a result, the compound's sulfur has an oxidation number of -2, and the total number of oxidations is 0.

Assume that the sulfur atom in H₂S has an oxidation number of x.

S be x.

Now,

2+x=0

⇒x=−2

<h3>What is oxidation number?</h3>

The total number of electrons that an atom either receives or loses in order to create a chemical connection with another atom is known as the oxidation number, also known as the oxidation state.

Depending on whether we are taking into account the electronegativity of the atoms or not, these phrases can occasionally have a distinct meaning. Coordination chemistry commonly makes use of the phrase "oxidation number."

<h3>What distinguishes an oxidation number from an oxidation state?</h3>

In contrast to the oxidation state, which indicates how oxidised an atom is in a molecule, the oxidation number describes the charge that the core metal atom will retain once all ligands have been removed.

How should scientist deal with the issue of endangered animals? write in complete 5 sentences please help
ANEK [815]
I think that scientist should build a habitat we’re the endangered animals could go free.By scientists building a habitat I mean giving the endangered animals a space to feel safe.Another way scientists could help endangered animals , would be to try and reproduce, the animal.For example scientist could help out with giving the animals hormones to be able to reproduce.And lastly scientists could do experimentation on the endangered animals to see if the animal ever were to go extinct how they could reproduce a new species.

En un recipiente colocamos unos cubos de hielo luego tapamos y observamos que sucede despues de un tiempo
SSSSS [86.1K]

Three questions come along with the given statement. It is in Spanish language:



a) Por qué se humedeció la parte exterior del frasco?


b) Por qué el hielo disminuyó su volumen y ahora es agua?


c) Por qué puede haber agua en el exterior?



These are the three answers (in English).



First question:



a) Por qué se humedeció la parte exterior del frasco?



The question is Why did the outside of the bottle get wet?



Answer:



The outside of the bottle get wet because the ice cubes cooled the walls of the bottle, so the air surrounding the bottle also cooled.



The air contains humidity (water) in gas phase. The hotter the air the more the amount of humidity it can retain, the cooler the air the less the amount of humidity it can retain.


Then, when the air close to the walls of the bootle got cooler some of the water in the air became liquid and those are the drops of water that you see in the outside of the bottle.



Second question



b) Por qué el hielo disminuyó su volumen y ahora es agua?



The question is Why did the ice diminish its volume and now it is water?



Answer:




The ice diminished its volume and now it is water, becasue the ice, which is cooler than the surroundings, received heat energy (from the surroundings) and then its temperature increased. At some moment, this temperature reached the melting point of the ice (water) and it started to become liquid.



Third question



c) Por qué puede haber agua en el exterior?



The question is: Why can there be water outside?




Answer:



The water outside is outside since the beginning: it is in the air. You do not see it because it is gas state. When the air close to the walss of the bottle got cooler, part of the water in the air became liquid.

a steel cylinder is left out in the sun the pressure at 2:00 pm was 1014 kpa at 33.0 c at 7:00 am at a temperature of 21.4c what
e-lub [12.9K]
The easiest way is to use the Law of Gay-Lussac. This law states that there is a direct relation between the temperature in Kelvin of a gas and the pressure.

Then, namig p the pressure and T the temperature in Kelvin and using subscripts for every state:

p/T is constant ==> p_1 / T_1 = p_2/T_2

From which you obtain:

p_2 = [p_1 / T_1] * T_2

T_1 = 33.0 + 273.15 = 306.15 K
T _2 = 21.4 + 273.15 = 294.55 K

p_1 = 1014 kPa

p_2 = 1014 kPa * 294.55 K / 306.15 K = 975.6 kPa
