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>

Consider the chemical equations shown here.
vichka [17]

P₄0₆_{s} + 20₂_{g}   ⇒    P₄0₁₀_{s}

Explanation:

The overall equation for the reaction that produces  P₄0₁₀ is :

P₄0₆_{s} + 20₂_{g}   ⇒    P₄0₁₀_{s}

Now let us derive this equation:

Given equations:

   P₄_{s} + 30₂_{g}  ⇒ P₄0₆_{s}  equation 1;

   P₄_{s} + 50₂_{g} ⇒  P₄0₁₀_{s}  equation 2;

To get the overall combined equation, the equation 1 must be reversed and added to equation 2:

            P₄0₆_{s} ⇒ P₄_{s} + 30₂_{g}   equation 3

                      +

            equation 2:

 P₄_{s} + 50₂_{g}  +    P₄0₆_{s}  ⇒  P₄0₁₀_{s}  +  P₄_{s} + 30₂_{g}  

cancelling specie that appears on both sides and removing excess oxygen gas on the reactant side gives;

   

                  P₄0₆_{s} + 20₂_{g}   ⇒    P₄0₁₀_{s}

Which ions aren't shown in net ionic reactions, because they are present as both reactants and products of the reaction, so they
Anvisha [2.4K]

Explanation:

This is correct!

Ions that exist in both the reactant and product side of the equation are referred to as spectator ions. Overall, they do not partake in the reaction. If they are present on both sides of the equation, you can cancel them out.

An example is;

Na+(aq) + Cl​−​​(aq) + Ag​+(aq) + NO​3​−​​(aq) → Na​+​​(aq) + NO​3​−​​(aq) + AgCl(s)

The ions; Na+, NO​3​−​​(aq) would be cancelled out to give;

Cl​−​​(aq) + Ag​+(aq)  → AgCl(s)

<u>Answer: </u>

Phases of moon:

  • New Moon
  • crescent Moon
  • First-quarter Moon
  • gibbous Moon
  • full Moon

<u>Explanation:</u>

The lunar cycle has 8 phases. The first phase is new moon. New moon is seen while the moon lies between the sun and the earth. After few days occurs the crescent moon when the moon travels towards its east. The next phase is first-quarter phase. During this phase half of the moon will be illuminated. The fourth phase is waxing gibbous moon phase where waxing refers to 'growing larger' and gibbous means 'shape' hence waxing gibbous refers to growing shape. Next is the full moon phase. This happens  when the moon and the sun comes on the opposite sides of our earth. The next phase will be waning gibbous moon where the moon decreases in size. This phase is followed by third quarter and finally the waning crescent moon phase.
