                                           [Co(NH₃)₅Br]²⁺

Ligands and charges on them,

                             5 × NH₃  =  5 × 0  =  0

                             1 × Br⁻¹  =  1 × -1  =  -1

Charge on sphere  =  +2

So, putting values in equation,

                                       Co + (0)₅ - 1  =  +2

                                       Co + 0 - 1  =  +2

                                       Co - 1  =  +2

                                       Co  =  +2 + 1

                                       Co  =  +3

Result:
           Oxidation state of Co in [Co(NH₃)₅Br]²⁺ is +3.

Alona [7]

Answer:

1

Explanation:

For an ideal gas, the average kinetic energy is given by:

Ek = (3/2)*n*R*T

Where n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant (8.31 J/mol*K), and T the temperature. The gases have the same number of moles, and the same temperature, so they will have the same average kinetic energy:

Ek = (3/2)*1*8.31*300

Ek =3739.5 J

So, the ratio between then is 1.

What is the major divide or ridgeline that separate Virginia's watersheds?
rewona [7]
In Virginia, the continental divide separates the New River from the Roanoake and James River. East of the continental divide, the rivers flow east or south toward the Atlantic Ocean. West of the continental divide, the rivers flow north or west toward the Gulf of Mexico by way of the Ohio and the Mississippi Rivers.

Hydrogen is a gas at a room temperature, but it is found with the alkali metals in group 1 (1A) on the periodic table. Which is
poizon [28]
Elements were grouped on their properties and behaviors, so hydrogen resides with the alkali metals in group 1 (1A) because it has only 1 valence electron, like the metals in that group.
