What is the oxidation state of each element in so32â?

Chemistry

 <span>Same answer, different setup. We know that the sum of the oxidation numbers is zero for a compound and the ionic charge for a polyatomic ion, and we know that sulfite ion is -2. 

Create an algebraic equation by multiplying the subscripts times the oxidation number of a single element. 

+x -6 = -2 
+x -2 
S O3 

Solve for x 
x = +4</span>

electron affinity of lithium is -60 whereas of cesium is -45.this trend is due to... plz give me accurate answer
lesya692 [45]
Electron affinity is defined as the change in energy (in kJ/mole) of a neutral atom (in the gaseous phase) when an electron is added to the atom to form a negative ion. In other words, the neutral atom's likelihood of gaining an electron.


Electron Affinity of Lithium is 59.6 kJ/mol.

Electron Affinity of Caesium is 45.5 kJ/mol.

Electron Affinity of Lithium is 59.6 kJ/mol. Electronegativity of Lithium is 0.98. ... Electron affinities are more difficult to measure than ionization energies. An atom of Lithium in the gas phase, for example, gives off energy when it gains an electron to form an ion of Lithium.

Trends

The ionization energy of the elements within a period generally increases from left to right. This is due to valence shell stability.

The ionization energy of the elements within a group generally decreases from top to bottom. This is due to electron shielding.

The noble gases possess very high ionisation energies because of their full valence shells as indicated in the graph. Note that helium has the highest ionization energy of all the elements.

An example of a homogeneous mixture is 1. oil and vinegar dressing. 2. concrete. 3. a mixture of salt and pepper. 4. salt water
Sidana [21]

A mixture in which composition is constant throughout the mixture is said to be homogeneous mixture.

Now, oil and vinegar dressing is not considered as a homogeneous mixture because composition is not uniform.

Concrete is made up of three components. Thus, composition is not uniform, so it is not a homogeneous mixture.

A mixture of salt and pepper, when salt is mixed in pepper then the mixture is not uniform as white flecks of salt and black flecks of pepper can be seen in the mixture. Thus, it is not a homogeneous mixture.

Salt water is uniform mixture. Thus,  it is a homogeneous mixture.

Thus, salt water is the correct answer.

Znco3 has a molar mass of 125.40 g/mol. which of the conversion factors shown below correctly expresses this relationship as wel
Airida [17]
Answer : ZnCO_{3} will be 1 mole of ZnCO_{3} / 125. 40 g of ZnCO_{3}

Explanation : The molar mass and the formula units are the same thing in any compound so when given a molar mass of compound then one mole of that compound is divided by its molar mass. Where one mole will be equal to avogadro's number which is 6.022 X 10^{23}.

Empirical formula for S3O9
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

* The empirical formula of a compound shows the ratio of elements present in a compound

* The molecular formula of a compound shows how many atoms of each element are present in a molecule of a compound.

Example: the compound butene has a molecular formula of C4H8. The empirical formula

of butene is CH2 because there is a 1:2 ratio of carbon atoms to hydrogen atoms.
