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

<u>Explanation:</u>

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.

2.5 moles of sodium chloride is dissolved to make 0.050 liters of solution
Hitman42 [59]

The answer is:

the molarity = 50 moles/liters

The explanation:

when the molarity is = the number of moles / volume per liters.

and when the number of moles =2.5 moles

and the volume per liters = 0.05 L

so by substitution:

the molarity = 2.5moles/0.05L

                    = 50 moles /L

Given: N2H4(l) + O2(g) LaTeX: \longrightarrow⟶ N2(g) + 2H2O(g) ΔH°1 = –543 kJ·mol–1 2H2(g) + O2(g) LaTeX: \longrightarrow⟶ 2H2O(
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given reaction

N₂H₄ + O₂ ⇒ N₂ + 2H₂O   ΔH₁ = -543 KJ ---------- ( 1 )

2H₂ + O₂ ⇒ 2H₂O              ΔH₂ = -484 KJ ---------- ( 2 )

N₂ + 3 H₂ ⇒ 2NH₃              ΔH₃ = -92 KJ  -----------( 3 )

( 1 ) -  ( 2 ) +( 3 )

N₂H₄ + O₂ - 2H₂ - O₂ +N₂ + 3 H₂ ⇒ N₂ + 2H₂O - 2H₂O +2NH₃  

                                                         ΔH =       -543 + 484 -92 = -151 KJ

     N₂H₄ + H₂ ⇒ 2NH₃     ΔH  = -151 KJ .

2NH₃ ⇒ N₂H₄ + H₂     ΔH  = + 151 KJ
