There are rules to assigning conventional oxidation numbers to some elements. For those unspecified, you can solve them. This is how you solve it.

*S8. Since this is in elemental form, its oxidation number is assigned as 0.

*H2S. H is assigned with +1. Since the compound is neutral, the overall charge is 0. So,
2(+1) + x = 0
x = -2
The charge of S here is -2.

*SO₂. O is assigned with (-2). Using the same procedure,
x + 2(-2) = 0
x = +2
The charge of S here is +2.

*H₂SO₃.
2(+1) + x + 3(-2) = 0
x = +4.
The charge of S here is +4.

*K₂SO₄. K is assigned with +1. 
2(+1) + x + 4(-2) = 0
x = +6
The charge of S here is +6.

<em>The S with the highest oxidation number is the one in K₂SO₄.</em>

Which Of the following, the best explanation for the fact that most gases are easily compressed is that the molecules in a gas a
Otrada [13]

Answer: A. are relatively far apart

Explanation:

Compressbility is the ability of compound to reduce in size when pressure is applied.

Gaseous state is a state in which the particles are loosely arranged and have a lot of space between them. Thus molecules can be easily compressed.

They have highest kinetic energy. This state has indefinite volume as well as shape.  The molecules in the gaseous state move faster with an increase in temperature as the kinetic energy increases with increase in temperature.

Thus most gases are easily compressed is that the molecules in a gas are in constant motion are relatively far apart.

Why do we need an isolated system for the law of conservation of mass to be true?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Diffusion occurs in solid and liquid through the constant and random motion of the smaller particles called molecules of either solid, liquid or gaseous in permeable medium as witnessed in the experiment.

Explanation:

The kinectic molecular theory of matter states that the smaller particles of matters called molecules are in constant, but random motion and the degree of movement of the molecules depends on the state or phase such matter exist, which is a derivative of the total kinetic energy possessed by the molecules. This average kinetic energy of the molecules as iodine for example is proportional to the temperature of the matter.

Diffusion should be remembered as the movement of molecules of matters from a highly concentrated region otherwise called hypertonic region to a less concentrated region called hypotonic region through a permeable medium until there is an equilibrium in the system. Since diffusion is expected to involve the movement of molecules, and any matter that can exhibit diffusion is said to have moving molecules, therefore, the kinetic molecular theory of matter is proven to be accurate with the observed movement of iodine molecules in the test tube. This shows that even the molecules of solid matters are in constant random motion, this is made more convincing when these molecules migrate without the addition of external energy source like heat, which then help to understand that the natural iodine molecules are in constant random motion, as they are changed to gaseous state without passing through liquid state, a phenomenon called sublimation.

Calculate how many grams of hydrogen can be burned if 40. liters of oxygen at 200. k and 1.0 atm. show work pls.
Wittaler [7]

The grams of hydrogen gas can be burned if 40. liters of oxygen at 200. k and 1.0 atm is 4.88 grams.

<h3>How do we calculate grams from moles?</h3>

Grams (W) of any substance will be calculated by using their moles (n) through the following equation:

  • n = W/M, where

M = molar mass

And moles of the gas will be calculated by using the ideal gas equation as:

  • PV = nRT, where

P = pressure = 1atm

V = volume = 40L

n = moles = ?

R = universal gas constant = 0.082 L.atm / K.mol

T = temperature = 200K

On putting these values on the above equation, we get

n = (1)(40) / (0.082)(200) = 2.439 = 2.44 moles

  • Now grams of hydrogen gas will be calculated by using the first equation as:

W = (2.44mol)(2g/mol) = 4.88g

Hence required mass of hydrogen gas is 4.88g.
