<em>"Sedimentary rocks are formed by the pressure over millions of years of organic material, inorganic material, sediment of course , and earth piling up over itself. Metamorphic rock and igneous rock originate either below the surface where plants lived and creatures roamed, or the heat from volcanic activity transformed everything. Sedimentary rock formation is the only geologic activity that permits and allows organic material preservation and hence fossil formation." </em>- <u>Charles Snider, Co-Founder of American Geode (on Quora.com)</u>
Answer: The oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 is +6
Explanation:
SeO3 is the chemical formula for selenium trioxide.
- The oxidation state of SeO3 = 0 (since it is stable and with no charge)
- the oxidation number of oxygen (O) IN SeO3 is -2
- the oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 = Z (let unknown value be Z)
Hence, SeO3 = 0
Z + (-2 x 3) = 0
Z + (-6) = 0
Z - 6 = 0
Z = 0 + 6
Z = +6
Thus, the oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 is +6
Multiply the weight of the object by the distance it traveled to find the amount of work output. For the example: 10 lbs. x 1 foot = 10 foot-pounds. Find the work efficiency by dividing the work output by the work input and multiplying by 100.
The atomic number is 11. The atomic number will always be the same as the number of protons and electrons.
