Answer:
Without corals, the algae are not protected and cannot perform photosynthesis.
Since medals form cations
nonmedals form anions
Answer:
+2
Explanation:
If a compound existed, we would identify the oxidation state of sulfur using the following logic:
- oxygen is more electronegative than sulfur, so it's more electron-withdrawing and it should have a negative oxidation state producing a positive oxidation state for sulfur;
- oxygen typically has an oxidation state of -2;
- we may then apply the fact that SO is expected to be a molecule with a net charge of 0;
- if the net charge is 0 and the oxidation state of oxygen is -2, we may set the oxidation state of S to x;
- write the equation for the net charge of 0 by adding all individual charges of the two atoms: ;
- hence, x = 2.
That said, in this hypothetical compound S would have an oxidation state of +2.
342 gm sugar = 1 mol of sugar = 12 moles of C. Therefore 25 gm of sugar will form = 25x12/342 = 0.877 moles of C. Therefore number of carbon atoms = number of moles x 6.02x 10^23 = 0.877x 6.02x 10^23 = 5.28x10^23.
