Why does chromium have a 3 charge? why is chromium (vi) oxide [cro3} not chromium 3 oxide?

Chromium (VI) has a 6+ charge (we can tell that from the number 6 after it) and you should know that Oxygen has a 2- charge (because it needs 2 more electrons to get a full outer shell).

To work out the formula we need to balance the positive and negative charges.

So we have 6+ and 2-...
We need to make 6- so therefore we times the amount of Oxygen by 3.

This makes the formula CrO3.

Hope this is helpful, message me if you have any questions :)

A gas with a volume of 535 mL at a temperature of -25C is heated to 175C. What is the new volume of the gas if pressure and numb
MakcuM [25]

Answer:966.45ml

Explanation:

Using Charles law.. V1/T1=V2/T2

V1=535ml

T1=-25+273

=248k

T2= 175+273=448k

V2=?

V2= V1*T2/T1

V2=535*448/248

V2=239680/248

V2=966.45ml

A compound consists of 75% magnesium and 25% oxygen. Find the empirical formula.
laila [671]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

% Composition of elements:

  • Magnesium = 75%
  • Oxygen = 25%

Atomic mass of given elements:

  • Magnesium = 24 g
  • Oxygen = 16 g

Now, divide % composition by Atomic mass:

\footnotesize\implies Mg = \dfrac{\% \:  Composition}{Atomic  \: mass} =  \dfrac{75}{24}  =  \bf 3.125

\footnotesize\implies O = \dfrac{\% \:  Composition}{Atomic  \: mass} =  \dfrac{25}{16}  =  \bf 1.5625

Simplest Ratio:

\footnotesize\implies Mg  =  \dfrac{3.125}{1.5625}  = 2

\footnotesize\implies O  =  \dfrac{1.5625}{1.5625} = 1

Empirical Formula:

\footnotesize\implies \underline{ \boxed{ \red{ \bf Empirical \:  Formula = Mg_2O}}}

The density of copper is 8.92 grams per milliliter. What volume of water will 40.0 grams of copper displace?
Klio2033 [76]

Density:

The density of a substance is equal to the ratio of its mass and volume. In general we can say the density of a substance is mass per unit volume.

Density = mass in g / volume in cubic cm or ml

Given that  

Density = 8.92 g/ ml

Mass = 40.0 g

Therefore,  

Volume = mass/ density  

= 40.0 g/  8.92  g/ ml

= 4.48 ml  

Thus the correct answer is 4.48  ml
