The oxidation number of O is -2 and there's 4 of them so the total is -8. Since it's a molecule the sum of the oxidation numbers of the atoms must equal 0. If 4 oxygen atoms have an oxidation number of -8 then the two S atoms must is +8 to equal 0 so the oxidation number of the S is 8/2 = +4
Answer:
i think it's B sorry if i'm wrong
When CH₄ is burnt in excess O₂ following products are formed,
CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O
According to equation 1 mole of CH₄ (16 g) reacts with 2 moles of O₂ to produce 1 mole of CO₂ and 2 moles of H₂O. Hence the products are,
1 mole of CO₂ and 2 moles of H₂O
Converting 1 mole CO₂ to grams;
As,
Mass = Moles × M.mass
Mass = 1 mol × 44 g.mol⁻¹
Mass = 40 g of CO₂
Converting 2 moles of H₂O to grams,
Mass = 2 mol × 18 g.mol⁻¹
Mass = 36 g of H₂O
Total grams of products;
Mass of CO₂ = 44 g
+ Mass of H₂O = 36 g
-------------
Total = 80 g of Product
Result:
80 grams of product is formed when 16 grams of CH₄ is burnt in excess of Oxygen.
Explanation:
One example of a chemical reaction is the rusting of a steel garbage can. That rusting happens because the iron (Fe) in the metal combines with oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere. Chemical bonds are created and destroyed to finally make iron oxide (Fe2O3).
