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>

What is the mass of ether(0.71) which can be put into a beaker holding 130ml
UkoKoshka [18]
D=m/v    ⇒ m=d*v

d=density
m=mass
v=volume

d(ether)=0.71 gr/cm³=0.71 gr/ ml
v=130 ml

m=d*v
m=0.71 gr/ml*(130 ml)=92.3 g

Solution: m=92.3 g

_____ Contains hydrolytic enzymes associated with the intracellular digestion of macromolecules
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Lysosome contains hydrolytic enzymes associated with the intracellular digestion of macromolecules.

Explanation:

Lysosome is found in all types of eukaryotic cells, and it is responsible for the digestion of old cell parts, micro-organism and macromolecules. Lysosome is surrounded by a membrane which maintains the interior acidic environment with the help of proton pump.

Lysosome contains unique membrane proteins and wide variety of hydrolytic enzymes such as acid hydrolyses that are helping in the breakdown of macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acid and polysaccharides). Lysosome acid dependent activity helping to protect the cell from self degradation in the situation of lysosomal rupture or leakage, while the pH of the cell is neutral to slightly alkaline.
