I believe the correct answer is the second option. There will be two cobalt atoms in one formula unit of cobalt (III) oxide. It has a chemical formula of Co2O3. This compound is does not naturally occur so it is being synthesized. It is mostly used as bleaching agent.

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is two cobalt atoms.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Cobalt (III) oxide is a compound which is formed by the combination of cobalt and oxygen atoms.

The oxidation state of cobalt in the compound is +3 and the oxidation state of oxygen in the compound is -2.

Thus, by criss-cross method, the oxidation states of the ions becomes the subscipt of the other atom which represents the number of individual atoms in a compound. So, the chemical formula of cobalt (III) oxide becomes Co_2O_3

In the given compound, 2 atoms of cobalt are present and 3 atoms of oxygen are there.

Thus, the correct answer is two cobalt atoms.

Why does such a small decrease in pH mean such a large increase in acidity?
den301095 [7]

Answer:

pH is an index of how many protons, or hydrogen ions (H+) are dissolved and free in a solution. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. A fluid with a pH of 7 is neutral. Below 7, it is acidic; above 7, it is alkaline.

The more below or above 7 a solution is, the more acidic or alkaline it is. The scale is not linear—a drop from pH 8.2 to 8.1 indicates a 30 percent increase in acidity, or concentration of hydrogen ions; a drop from 8.1 to 7.9 indicates a 150 percent increase in acidity. Bottom line: Small-sounding changes in ocean pH are actually quite large and definitely in the direction of becoming less alkaline, which is the same as becoming more acidic.

If you think about it, we use descriptive words like this all the time. A person who stands 5’5” tall and weighs 300 pounds isn’t thin. If he loses 100 pounds, he still won’t be thin, but he will be thinner than he was before he went on the diet. (And we are more likely to comment that he’s looking trimmer than to say he’s not as fat as he used to be.)

describe the law of conservation of energy and two examples of energy being transformed from one type to another.
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

look in the explanation part

Explanation:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.
