What is the oxidation number for s in s2o4?

Chemistry
1 answer:
hoa [83]3 years ago
3 0
The oxidation number of O is -2 and there's 4 of them so the total is -8. Since it's a molecule the sum of the oxidation numbers of the atoms must equal 0. If 4 oxygen atoms have an oxidation number of -8 then the two S atoms must is +8 to equal 0 so the oxidation number of the S is 8/2 = +4

Which two subatomic particles have the greatest mass?
denpristay [2]

Answer:

PROTON AND NEUTRON

Explanation:

  • The mass of proton is : 1.67*10^{-27}kg

A proton is one of the main particles that make up the atom . The other two particles are neutron and electron. Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom.This is a tiny , dense region at the centre of the atom. Protons have a positive charge of one (+1) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit ( amu ) , which is about 1.67*10^{-27}kg. Together with neutrons , they make up virtually all of the mass of an atom.

  • The  mass of neutron is also approximately: 1.67*10^{-27}kg but a little more than that .

Atoms of all elements - except Hydrogen , have neutrons in their nucleus . Unlike protons and electrons , these have no charge - they are electrically neutral . The mass of a neutron is slightly greater than the mass of a proton but not very significant

Consider the reaction of NO and CO to form N2 and CO2, according to the balanced equation: 2 NO (g) + 2 CO (g) → N2 (g) + 2 CO2
Gekata [30.6K]

The image is not given in the question, it is attached below:

<u>Answer:</u> The excess reactant is NO, the limiting reactant is CO and the products are shown in the image attached below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the given image:

Red spheres represent oxygen atoms, blue spheres represent nitrogen atoms and black spheres represent carbon atoms

The combination of 1 black and 2 red spheres will represent carbon dioxide (CO_2) compound

The combination of 2 blue spheres will represent nitrogen molecule (N_2)

The combination of 1 blue and 1 red sphere will represent nitrogen monoxide (NO) compound

The combination of 1 black and 1 red sphere will represent nitrogen monoxide (NO) compound

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is completely consumed in the reaction and limits the formation of the product.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is left behind after the completion of the reaction.

We are given:

Given moles of NO = 6 moles

Given moles of CO = 4 moles

For the given chemical equation:

2NO(g)+2CO(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2CO_2(g)

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of CO reacts with 2 moles of NO

So, 4 moles of CO will react with = \frac{2}{2}\times 4=4mol of NO

As the given amount of NO is more than the required amount. Thus, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, CO is considered a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of the product.

Hence, the excess reactant is NO, the limiting reactant is CO and the products are shown in the image attached below.

Hydrogen is a reactive gas under normal conditions.Based on this property alone, to which group of the periodic table should hyd
denis23 [38]
Even though Hydrogen is originally in group 1, based on this property, we can say it is in group 6.

Because:

Group 6 would mean that it only needs 2 more valence electrons till the octet (8 valence electrons). This would make it reactive, yet, in normal conditions, unlike group 7.
