What is the oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in so42−?

Chemistry
1 answer:
hichkok12 [17]3 years ago
4 0

The oxidation state of single oxygen atom is -2 since it is more electronegative and like to gain electrons.

The sum of the oxidation states of each atom = charge of compound

Let’s say the oxidation state of Sulfur is x.

Hence,

<span>      x +4 * (-2) = -2</span>

<span>      x – 8         = -2</span>

<span>                  x   = +6</span>

<span>The oxidation state of individual Sulfur atom is +6</span>

Carvone is a substance that occurs in two forms having different arrangements of the atoms but the same molecular formula (c10h1
Korvikt [17]

The molecular mass of Carvone is calculated as;

                          =  12 (C)₁₀  +  1.008 (H)₁₄  +  16 (O)

                          =  120  +  14.112  +  16

                          =  150.112

%age of Carbon;

                          =  (120 ÷ 150.112) × 100

                          =  79.94 %

%age of Hydrogen;

                          =  (14.112 ÷ 150.112) × 100

                          =  9.40 %

%age of Oxygen;

                          =  (16 ÷ 150.112) × 100

                          =  10.65 %

What can you tell by tracking oxidation numbers?
Alla [95]

<u>Answer</u>:

By tracking oxidation numbers we can identify the number electron in the atom

<u>Explanation</u>:

Tracking of electrons helps us to know when and how many electrons get transferred from one atom to other atom . Oxidation  referred as the “loss of one or more electrons” by an atom. When the oxidation number of an element increases, there is a loss of electrons and that element is being oxidized. Oxidation numbers are usually written with the sign (+plus or −minus) followed by the magnitude, which is the opposite of charges on ions. In their elemental stage oxidation number of an atom is zero.

Which type of nuclear decay is the radioactive isotope fe2659 likely to undergo?
jekas [21]

Beta minus decay will be obtain in the radio-active isotope of Fe-26 power 59.

Whenever there are too many protons or even neutrons in a nucleus, one of the protons and neutrons will turn into the other, which is known as beta decay. During beta minus decay, a neutron transforms into a proton, electron, as well as antineutrino.

Fe_{26} ^{59} → Co_{27} ^{59} +\beta_{1}  ^{0}

It can be seen that after the beta minus decay Fe changes into Co.

In beta decay , decrease in atomic number by one unit Fe atom get converted into Co atom.

Neutron-rich nuclei often decay by producing both an electron and an antineutrino.

Therefore, Beta minus decay will be obtain in the radio-active isotope of Fe-26 power 59.
