Oxidation number is defined as the total number of electrons that are gained or lost by the atom to form a chemical bond. 
the oxidation number of the compound H₂S is 0.
the sum of the oxidation numbers of the individual elements should add up to the oxidation number of the compound. 

(oxidation number of H x 2 H ions) + oxidation number of S = 0
since we know the oxidation number of H, lets name the oxidation number of S = x
(+1 * 2 )+ (x) = 0
2 + x = 0
x = -2
oxidation number of S is -2

A gas has a pressure of 810 kPa at 227°C. What will its pressure be at 27°C?
NeX [460]

486 kPa will be the pressure of gas at 27 degrees.

Explanation:

Data given :

Initial pressure of the gas P1 = 810 kPa

initial temperature of the gas T1 = 227 degrees OR 500.15 K

final pressure of the gas =?

final temperature of the gas = 27 degrees OR 300.15 K

Gay Lussac's law is used to calculate the pressure of the gas at 27 degrees or 300.15 K

\frac{P1}{T1} = \frac{P2}{T2}

P2 = \frac{P1T2}{T1}

 Putting the values in the equation:

P2 = \frac{810 X 300.15}{500.15}

P2 = 486 KPa

486 Kpa is the pressure of the gas when temperature was reduced to 27 degrees.

Which of following is incorrect?
Naily [24]

Answer:

C: Carbon monoxide - Acidic nature

Explanation:

A) Beryllium is not soluble in water but yet it reacts with an acid and a base. Therefore, since it exhibits both basic and acidic nature, we say it is Amphoteric in nature. Thus it is correct

B)potassium super oxide has the formula KO2. It reacts with acid to form salt called potassium chloride. Thus, it is basic in nature.

C) Carbon monoxide does not react with acids or bases. Thus, it doesn't show either an acidic or basic property and we say it is a neutral oxide. This option is incorrect

D) Bismuth oxide is a basic oxide because it displays properties of a base. This options is correct

When might it be preferable to use direct quotations rather than summarizing or paraphrasing
Drupady [299]

Answer:

It is better to use direct quotation rather than summarizing or paraphrasing when you want to share the author's original words.

Explanation:

In writing, it is sometimes necessary to share an authors original words in order to buttress a point or validate an argument. In such cases where it is necessary to use exactly the same diction as the author in order to communicate a point clearly, it is apt to use a direct quotation rather than attempting to summarize or paraphrase the original words of the author.

Hence direct quotation is used to share an author's original words.

Why the atomic mass listed on the periodic table if 63.55?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

If you are asking why the atomic mass on the periodic table only goes to the hundredth's place, it is because of significant figures. No number is exact, like it can be 63.5500001, and it will go to a certain point before it cease to matter in experiments.
