Answer:
metal oxide.because metal +salt forms metal oxide
The molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 141.6g of citric acid in water is calculated as below
find the the number of moles
moles= mass/molar mass
= 141.6 g/ 192 g/mol = 0.738 moles
molarity= moles/molar mass
= 0.738/3500 x1000 = 0.21 M
Answer:
b) +2 and +3.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the molecular formulas:

And:

We can relate the subscripts with the oxidation states by knowing that they are crossed when the compound is formed, for that reason, we notice that oxygen oxidation state should be -2 for both cases and the oxidation state of X in the first formula must be +2 since both X and O has one as their subscript as they were simplified:

Moreover, for the second case the oxidation state of X should be +3 in order to obtain 3 as the subscript of oxygen:

Thus, answer is b)+2 and +3
Best regards.
Explanations:- Part 1: We could count the total number of electrons by looking at the electron configurations. Both of these electrons configurations have 47 electrons. If we look at the periodic table then 47 is the atomic number of silver. So, the name of the element is silver and its represented as Ag.
Part 2: As per the rule, Completely filled and half filled orbitals are more stable. First electron configuration has 9 electrons in 4d and we know that d is more stable if it has 5 electrons(half filled) or it has 10 electrons(full filled).
For stability reasons, one of the electron from 5s goes to 4d and for this reason the second electron configuration is found most often in nature for silver.
Few other examples are Cr and Cu.
