<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

Which of the following gases will have the highest velocity at a given temperature?
gladu [14]

The velocity of the gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gass. Heavier molecules tend to travel slow compared to light molecules. Among these, He has the lowest molar mass of 4 g/mol hence this element has the greatest velocity among all molecules given.

Before the battery in the car is jumped, the individuals notice the hook-ups on the battery are corroded by acid. what substance
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Baking soda

Explanation:

Due to its neutralizing properties, sodium bicarbonate can be used to counteract the acid corrosion of car batteries. To use baking soda, in this case, be sure to disconnect the battery terminals before cleaning. Make a paste of three parts baking soda to one part water and apply with a damp cloth to rub the corrosion of the battery terminal. After cleaning and reconnecting the terminals, clean them with petroleum jelly to prevent future corrosion.
