Answer:

Explanation:

The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

In order to know the formula of the negative Sulfur ion in pyrite, we must determine its oxidation state.

Let us make the make the oxidation number of sulfur = x

Therefore, FeS₂:

                      +2 +2x = 0

                      +2 = -2x

                       x = -1

The formula of the negative ion is S⁻

Answer:

2.5 × 10⁻⁵ M H₃O⁺ and 4.0 × 10⁻¹⁰ M OH⁻.

Explanation:

<em>∵ pH = - log[H₃O⁺]</em>

∴ 4.6 = - log[H₃O⁺].

∴ log[H₃O⁺] = - 4.6.

∴ [H₃O⁺] = 2.51 x 10⁻⁵.

∵ [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.

[H₃O⁺] = 2.51  x 10⁻⁵ M.

∴ [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/[H₃O⁺] = 10⁻¹⁴/(2.51  x 10⁻⁵ M) = 3.98 × 10⁻¹⁰ M ≅ 4.0 × 10⁻¹⁰ M.

<em>So, the right choice is: 2.5 × 10⁻⁵ M H₃O⁺ and 4.0 × 10⁻¹⁰ M OH⁻.</em>
