What is the oxidation state of each element in so32â?

1 answer:

7 0

<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>

when carbon is burned in the air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. when 22.8 g of carbon were burned in the presenc

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

So there is83.6g CO2 produced

Explanation:

Burning carbon with air has the following equation

C + O2 → CO2

For 1 mol Carbon, we have 1 mol O2 and 1 mol CO2

Step 2: Calculating moles

mole C = 22.8g / 12g/mole

Mole C = 1.9 mole

1.9 mole C will completely react

Since for each mole C there is 1 mole O2 and 1 mole CO2

This means there will also react 1.9 mole of 02, to be formed 1.9 mole of CO2

mole CO2 = mass CO2 / Molar mass CO2

mass CO2 = 1.9 mole CO2 * 44g/mole =<u>83.6g CO2</u>

In this reaction 18.2 g of O2 remained unreacted

we can control this: 79g - 18.2 g = 60.8g

1.9 mole * 32g/mol = 60.8g

So there is83.6g CO2 produced

What is the molecular formula of each compound?<br> (c) Empirical formula HgCl (m = 5 472.1 g/mol)

beks73 [17]

The molecular formula of HgCl (m = 5 472.1 g/mol) is Hg2Cl4.

The molecular formula is an expression that defines the number of atoms of each element in one molecule of a compound. It shows the actual number of each atom in a molecule.

<h3>Molecular formula: What is it?</h3>

A chemical formula is a way to communicate information in chemistry about the proportions of atoms that make up a specific chemical compound or molecule. Chemical element symbols, numbers, and occasionally other symbols like parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas, and plus and minus signs are used to represent the chemical elements.

A molecule's molecular formula reveals which atoms and how many of each kind are included within it. No subscript is used if there is just one atom of a certain kind. A subscript is added to the symbol for an atom if it contains two or more of a certain type of atom.

Diatomic O2 can react with the element magnesium to form magnesium oxide (MgO). The balanced chemical equation is: 2Mg + O2 → 2M

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

We will expect 4 moles of MgO to be formed (option b).

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

2Mg + O2 → 2MgO

Step 2: Data given

Number of moles of Magnesium = 4 moles

Oxygen = in excess → this means Magnesium is the limiting reactant

Magnesium will completely be consumed ( 4 moles). There will remain 0 moles.

For 2 moles of magnesium consumed, we need 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of MgO.

For 4 moles of magnesium, we need 4/2 = 2 moles of oxygen.

For 4 moles of magnesium, we will produce 4/1 = 4 moles of MgO

We will expect 4 moles of MgO to be formed (option b).

Which of the following best describes physical science?

Alex17521 [72]

The study of matter and energy best describes physical science. Hence, option B is correct.

<h3>What is physical science?</h3>

Physical science is the study of the inorganic world.

Physics is a branch of science that studies matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. Physics is one of the "fundamental sciences" because of the other natural sciences (like biology, geology etc.)

Thus the study of matter and energy best describes physical science. Hence, option B is correct.
