Answer : The charge of cesium is, (+1)

Explanation :

Oxidation state or number : Oxidation state represent the number of electrons gained or lost by the atoms of an element in the compound.  That means it also tells us about the charge present on the cation and the anion.

Oxidation state or number are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.

Oxidation number of  oxygen (O)  in compounds is usually equal to (-2).

The given chemical formula of cesium oxide is, Cs_2O

Let the oxidation state of 'Cs' be, 'x'

2x+1(-2)=0\\\\2x-2=0\\\\x=\frac{2}{2}\\\\x=+1

Therefore, the charge of cesium is, (+1)

Which gas law (choices are Charles' Law, Gay-Lussac's Law, or Boyle's Law) explains each scenario:________.
posledela

Answer:

A.  Boyle's Law

B.  Charles' Law

C. Gay-Lussac's Law

Explanation:

An air bag inflates due to the decomposition of sodium azide or NaN₃ to completely fill the bag with nitrogen gas which is an example of Boyle's law, which states that the pressure of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its volume, hence due to the estricted volume of the airbag, the pressure of the nitrogen gas in the bag increses protecting the occupants of a cr from injuries in a crash

Helium balloon decrease in sice in a freezer is an example of Charlles law which states that the volume of a given mass of gas is nverslely proportionl to its temperature at constant pressure

A can of spray paint will explode if tossed into a fire is an example of Gay-Lussac's Law which states that the pressure of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature hence the increased pressure causes the can ti explode

A solution of sulfuric acid has a concentration of 0.0980 g/L. If the density of the acid is 1.84 g/mL, what is the concentratio
mariarad [96]
The answer is 98ppm.

The ppm (Parts per million) is also a concentration unit. 1 ppm is equivalent to 1mg/L
Now, concentration of the solution of sulfuric acid is 0.0980 g/L.
We rewrite, 0.0980 g = 0.0980*1000 mg = 98mg
Therefore, the concentration of the sulfuric acid solution is 98 mg/L = 98 ppm.
