Answer: Oxidation state of Arsenic in the given compound is +3 and that of oxygen is -2.

Explanation:

We are given a compound having formula $As_2O_3$ and we need to find the oxidation state of all the atoms in this compound. There are 2 different atoms present in this : Arsenic and Oxygen

Oxidation state is the number which is assigned to an element in a compound which represents the number of electrons lost or gained by an atom in a compound.

Oxidation state of oxygen as -2 which is same always. Now, to calculate the oxidation state of Arsenic, we take the oxidation state of it be 'x'

As, there are two arsenic atoms and three oxygen atoms, then:

$\Rightarrow 2(x)+3(-2)=0\\\Rightarrow 2x-6=0\\\Rightarrow x=+3$

Hence, oxidation state of Arsenic in the given compound is +3 and that of oxygen is -2.

If a car is traveling 100 km/h and comes to a stop in 3 minutes,what is acceleration of a passenger who is using vehicle restrai

Rama09 [41]

We are given –

Final velocity of car is, v= 0
Initial velocity of car is, u= 100 km/hr
Time taken, t is = 3 minutes or 180 sec

Here–

$\qquad$ $\pink{\bf \longrightarrow Initial\: velocity = 100 \:km/hr}$

$\qquad$ $\sf \longrightarrow Initial\: velocity = \dfrac{ 100 \times 1000}{3600} \:m/s$

$\qquad$ $\pink{ \bf \longrightarrow Initial\: velocity = 27.78\: m/s}$

Now –

$\qquad$ ____________________________

$\qquad$ $\purple{\bf \longrightarrow Acceleration = \dfrac{Final\: Velocity -Initial \:Velocity }{Time}}$

$\qquad$ $\purple{\bf \longrightarrow Acceleration = \dfrac{v -u}{t}}$

$\qquad$ $\sf \longrightarrow Acceleration = \dfrac{(0- 27.78)}{1800}$

$\qquad$ $\sf \longrightarrow Acceleration =\cancel{ \dfrac{- 27.78}{1800}}$

$\qquad$ $\purple{\bf \longrightarrow Acceleration = -0.15 \: m/s^2}$

$\qquad$ _______________________________

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The first artificial use of a PGR was to stimulate the production of flowers on pineapple plants. They are now used widely in agriculture. Plant hormones are also used in turf management to reduce the need to mow, to suppress seedheads, and to suppress other types of grass.

Why can scratching at the bottom of a flask induce crystallization?

Ksenya-84 [330]

Scratching causes cracks and crevices on the surface of the flask (though microscopically). These will act as favorable sites for nucleation, which leads to the formation of crystals.
