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 :)

You carry out a titration of a pure weak triprotic acid and only see two major pH jumps. One at 10.0 mL and the second one at 15

ki77a [65]

Explanation:

m=30

v=10

K.E=1/2mv^2

=1/2×30×10^2

=1/2×30×100

=1500 joule

What is the specific latent heat of fusion of ice if it takes 863 kJ to convert 4.6 kg of ice into water at 0 C?

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is 187.7 J/Jg.

Explanation:

The formula for finding the specific heat of fusion is,

Specific heat of fusion = Q/m

Here Q is the heat energy added, signified in kJ, and m is the mass of the object in kg.

Based on the given information, the heat energy added or Q is 869 kJ and the mass of the ice is 4.6 Kg

Now putting the values in the formula we get,

Specific heat of fusion = Q/m

Specific heat of fusion = 863 kJ / 4.6 Kg = 187.7 J/Kg
