The oxidation number of an element is the number of electrons that are gained or lost by the element to form a chemical bond. 
the net oxidation number of the ion is its charge.
compound (NH₄)₂Cr₂O₇ is made of cation - NH₄⁺ and anion - Cr₂O₇²⁻
oxidation number of ion - -2
(oxidation number of Cr x 2 Cr atoms) +(oxidation number of O x 7 O atoms )= -2
oxidation number of Cr = y
oxidation number of O = -2
(y x 2) + (-2 x 7) = -2
2y - 14 = -2
2y = 12
y  = + 6
therefore oxidation number of Cr is +6

Describe a solution and tell if the parts are mixed chemically or physically.
ANTONII [103]
Hey there! Let's get that problem solved! 

First: Let's define, "solution." 

Solution: <span>a liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent).

Next: Ask yourself, "can a solution be taken apart?" 

In some cases, yes. It can. 

The solution of salt water for example, can be physically separated by evaporation. (place salt-water in a pot on a heated stove, place the cover to the pot on the opening, wait a few minutes, remove the top, and you can (and taste) the water without the salt!)  </span><span />

One quarter of a 1-mole piece of iron turns to rust in six months. Which rate describes the speed at which the iron rusts?
avanturin [10]
1/4 mol = 0.25 mol

6 months = 0.5 year

rate = 0,25 mol / 0.5 year = 0.5 mol/year or approx 0.042 mol/month
