<h3>Answer:</h3>

             Rb  =  + 1

              S    =  + 4

              O   =  - 2

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                   Oxidation states of the elements were calculated keeping in mind the basic rules of assigning oxidation states which included assignment of +1 charge to first group elements i.e. Rubidium (Rb) and assignment of -2 charge to Oxygen atom. Then the oxidation state of Sulfur was calculated as follow,

Rb₂ + S + O₃  =  0

Above zero (0) means that the overall molecule is neutral.

Putting values of Rb and O,

                                           (+1)₂ + S + (-2)₃  =  0

                                           (+2) + S + (-6)  =  0

                                           +2 + S - 6  = 0

                                           S - 6  =  -2

                                          S  =  -2 + 6

                                           S  =  + 4

Why is a wire used to connect the electrodes in an electrochemical cell?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

D. So electrons can flow from one electrode to another

Explanation:

An electrochemical cell is any cell in which electricity is produced by reason of a chemical change.

An electrochemical cell consists of two electrodes, these two electrodes are connected using a wire.

Usually, electrons flow from one electrode to another via this wire thereby enabling the electrochemical processes of oxidation and reduction in the cell to proceed effectively.

What is the pressure of the ideal gas when the volume is decreased to 4.0 L and the temperature is increased to 265 K?
jonny [76]
It is an ideal gas therefore we can use the ideal gas equation to solve the problem. The ideal gas equation is expressed as PV = nRT. First, we solve the amount of the gas in moles using the said equation and the first conditions.

(2.0 atm) (5.0 x 10^3 cm^3) = n (82.0575 atm.cm^3/mol.K)(215 K)
n=0.5668 mol

Using the second conditions given, we obtain the new pressure.
P (4.0 x 10^3) = 0.5668 x <span>82.0575 x 265
P= 3.08 atm</span>
