You have to calculate the oxidation estates of the atoms in each compound.
I will start with K2Cr2O7 because I believe that Cr is the best candidate to reduce its oxidation number in 3 units.
In K2Cr2O7:
- K has oxidation state of 1+, then K2 has a charge of 2* (1+) = 2+.
- O has oxidation state of 2*, then O7 has a charge of 7* (2-) = 14-.
That makes that Cr2 has charge of 14 - 2 = +12, so each Cr has +12/2 = +6 oxidation state.
In Cr2O3:
- O has oxidation state of 2-, then O3 has charge 3 * (2-) = - 6
- Then, Cr2 has charge 6+, and each Cr has charge 6+ / 2 = 3+.
So, we have seen that Cr reduced its oxidation state in 3 units, from 6+ to 3+.
Answer: Cr has a change in oxidation number of - 3.
Well not calculus because that has nothing, well mostly nothing to do with balancing chemical equation, so B or C. Now for me personally B is way faster, though C is sometimes faster if you get lucky the way to solve it is B
Answer:
C.) No, because the Moon reflects most of the Sun's light rather than
absorbing it

Answer:
Partial pressure of oxygen = 190 mmHg
Explanation:
From the question;
Mixture contains only nitrogen and oxygen
Total pressure of the mixture = 480 mmHg
Partial pressure of nitrogen = 290 mmHg
Dalton's law states that the pressure of a system is as a result of the sum of the partial pressures of the individual components of the mixture. This means that in this mixture;
Pressure of mixture = Partial Pressure of Nitrogen + Partial Pressure of Oxygen
480 = 290 + Partial pressure of oxygen
Partial pressure of oxygen = 480 - 290
Partial pressure of oxygen = 190 mmHg
