Answer:

Zero Lone Pairs

Explanation:

Hydrogen Sulfate is made from Sulfuric acid. It is an ion and contains a negative charge on one of its oxygen atoms. The central atom of this ion is sulfur atom.

The lewis structure of hydrogen sulfate is attached below. It can be seen from the structure that the sulfur is carrying no lone pair of electrons as that carried by oxygen atoms. The sulfur atom is making four single or multiple bonds with oxygen atoms. Also, the electron and molecular geometry around sulfur is Tetrahedral.

Explain the difference between a physical property and a chemical property

Eduardwww [97]

Physical property- is an aspect of matter that can be observed or measured without touching changing it.

Chemical property- may only be observed by changing the chemical identity of a substance.

The difference would be that for physical property's you dont need to do anything to figure out what they are, but for chemical properties you need to change something to observe them.

What is the oxidizing agent in the reaction 2MnO4-(aq) 10I-(aq) 16H (aq) ---> 2Mn2 (aq) 5I2(aq) 8H2O(l)

faltersainse [42]

Correct Question: what is the oxidizing agent in the reaction.

2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)

Answer: MnO4-is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

In the reaction 2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)

Oxidizing agent oxidizes other molecules while the themselves get reduced.

oxidizing agents give away Oxygen to other compounds.

MnO4-is the oxidizing agent because
