What is the oxidation state of each element in k2cr2o7?

Chemistry

Stells [14]3 years ago

To begin this, you'll first note down the valencies of atoms you're sure about.

K is always 1+
And O is always 2-, except for in peroxide where it is 1-.

So now you must remember that a compound is always neutral. Your net charge has to be 0.

K2Cr2O7.

K2 (1+ x 2) = 2+
Cr (2x) = 2x
O7 (2- ×7) = 14-

+2 +2x + (-14) = 0
•Simple algebra.
2x -12 = 0
2x = 12
x = +6.

Each Cr atom has an oxidation number of +6.

Answer:

Velocity = 12 km/h

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the division between distance traveled and the time it took for that distance to be traveled:

  • Velocity = Distance / Time

With the above information in mind, we can calculate the velocity of the bicycle:

  • Velocity = 18 km / 1.5 h
  • Velocity = 12 km/h

Thus the velocity of the bicycle is 12 kilometers per hour.

What are the two ways in which pressure can be increased?
icang [17]
Raised temperature, decreased volume.

Temperature and Pressure are directly related, when volume increases so does the your pressure.

Volume and Pressure are indirectly related. When volume decreases, your pressure will increase.
