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⁻

Find the density of an object that has a mass of 5 kg and a<br> volume of 50 cm3.
iren2701 [21]
  • Mass=5kg=5000g
  • Volume=50cm^3

\\ \rm\longmapsto Density=\dfrac{Mass}{Volume}

\\ \rm\longmapsto Density=\dfrac{5000}{50}

\\ \rm\longmapsto Density=100g/cm^3
