What is the oxidation state of Sin SO 3 ^ 2- ?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Semmy [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Oxidation state of S in SO3^2- is +4

Explanation:

S in SO3^2-=

S = ?

O = -2

S + 3 moles of O * -2 = -2

S + (-6) = -2( it has charge -2)

S - 6 = -2

S = -2 + 6

S = +4

Note, the sign is very important

Don't confuse SO3 together with SO3^2-, the oxidation state of S in SO3 is + 6, how?

S = ?

O = -2

S + 3 * -2 = 0 ( because it has no charge)

S - 6 = 0

S = +6

And in SO3^2-

S = +4

The difference is that one has charge SO3^2- and the other doesn't SO3.

Calculate the heat released when 454 grams of steam at 100 degrees C condenses.
sasho [114]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1026.05 kJ

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The Quantity of heat is calculated by multiplying the mass of a substance by specific heat capacity and the change in temperature.
  • However, condensation takes place at a constant temperature.
  • Therefore, Quantity of heat is calculated by multiplying mass by the latent heat of vaporization.
  • That is; Q = m × Lv

In this case we are given;

Mass of steam as 454 g

To calculate the amount of heat released we must know the value of latent heat of vaporization;

The latent heat of vaporization of steam is 2260 J/g

Therefore;

Heat released, Q = 454 g × 2260 J/g

                             =1026040 Joules

But, 1000 joules = 1 kilo-joules

Thus, Q = 1026.04 kJ

Hence, the amount of heat released is 1026.05 kJ

What is the mass of carbon dioxide formed when 36g of carbon is burnt?<br> C+O2 -------&gt;C02
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Mass = 132 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CO₂ formed = ?

Mass of C burnt = 36 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C + O₂    →    CO₂

Number of moles of carbon:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 36 g/ 12 g/mol

Number of moles = 3 mol

now we will compare the moles of carbon and carbon dioxide.

                C           :        CO₂

                 1           :         1

                3           :         3

Mass of CO₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 3 mol × 44 g/mol

Mass = 132 g
