Lets look at the example 
Cu(SO4)2
SO4 means 1 atom of S and 4 atoms of O

(SO4)2 means 2*1 atom of S and 2*4 atoms of O, so we get
                         2 atoms of S and 8 atoms of O.

choli [55]

Answer:

C) MnO₂

Explanation:

If we write the semi equations (this is, for reduction and oxidation) we will have:

Oxidation: 2MnO₂ → MnO₄⁻ + Mn⁺²

Reduction: 2H₂O → H₂ + 2OH⁻

Then the final global reaction (just adding the two above hemi chemical reactions):

2MnO₂ + 2H₂O → MnO⁻₄ + Mn⁺² + H₂ + 2OH⁻ (in acidic media)

So, we have Mn⁺⁴ (from MnO₂) goes to Mn⁺⁷ and Mn⁺² (this is, Mn is oxidated) and H⁺ (from acidic media or H₂O) goes to H₂ (this is, it is reduced). So the reducing agent would be MnO₂

Which element, under normal circumstances, does not combine chemically with other elements to form compounds?
Ilya [14]
That would be the NOBLE GASES (Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon).  Because these elements have a filled outer shell (thus giving them the full octet that other elements crave), they are stable elements under normal circumstances and as such resist chemical combination.


Plz note that under special conditions, noble gases such as Xenon and Radon can form compounds  (Xenon Fluoride and Oxide; Radon Fluoride)

Answer the questions below:
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

1.  An apple is something that has matter.

2. Light does not have matter. It neither has mass or takes up and space.

3. Physical changes only change the appearance of a substance, not its chemical composition. Chemical changes cause a substance to change into an entirely substance with a new chemical formula. Chemical changes are also known as chemical reactions.

4. A chemical reaction is usually accompanied by easily observed physical effects, such as the emission of heat and light, the formation of a precipitate, the evolution of gas, or a color change. Absolute confirmation of a chemical change can only be validated by chemical analysis of the products!

5. A precipitate is a solid that forms out of solution.

6. In simple terms, the endothermic reactions absorb energy from the surrounding that is in the form of heat. On the other hand, an exothermic reaction releases energy into the surrounding of the system.

Explanation:

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up volume.

Why are scientific models important in the study of science?
telo118 [61]

Answer:

In science, amodel is a representation of an idea, an object or even a process or a system that is used to describe and explain phenomena that cannot be experienced directly. Models are central to what scientists do, both in their research as well as when communicating their explanations.

Olive oil has a density of 0.92g/ml. How much would 1.0 Liter of olive oil weigh in grams?
Julli [10]

Answer:

9.2x10²g

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Density = 0.92g/ml

Volume = 1L = 1 x 1000 = 1000mL

Mass =..?

Density is simply defined as the mass of the substance per unit volume of the substance. Mathematically it can be represented as:

Density = Mass /volume.

Mass = Density x volume

Mass = 0.92 x 1000

Mass = 9.2x10²g.

Therefore, 1L of olive will weigh 9.2x10²g.
