Answer:
Case 1:
            X  =  Any element from Group I
            
                       i)    H
                       ii)   Li
                       iii)  Na
                       iv)  K
                       v)   Rb
                       vi)  Cs

            Y  =  1

Case 2:
            X  =  Any element from Group II
            
                       i)    Be
                       ii)   Mg
                       iii)  Ca
                       iv)  Sr
                       v)   Ba
                       vi)  Ra

            Y  =  2

Case 3:
            X  =  Any element from Group III
            
                       i)    B
                       ii)   Al
                       iii)  Ga
                       iv)  In
                       v)   Ti

            Y  =  3

Explanation:
                   The general formula given is as follow,

                                                    XCly

So, if X has +1 oxidation state, then it will require only one Cl atom with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 1.

If X has +2 oxidation state, then it will require two Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 2.

If X has +3 oxidation state, then it will require three Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 3.

Four oranges were placed in a series circuit. Approximately what voltage did this produce?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Four times the original amount if only one orange was used

Explanation:

We can assume that the oranges all have equal voltages. Connecting them in series will have an increasing effect on the voltage delivered. In our case, this will produce 4 times the voltage of the circuit when only one orange is used.

Whenever simple cells are connected in series, the voltages of the individual cells are added up to form the voltage of the whole circuit.

Let us assume that the voltage of each of the oranges is approximately 0.9 volts. The Voltage produced when the 4 oranges are joined in series is 0.9 + 0.9 + 0.9 + 0.9 = 3.6 volts
