-2 for O
-1 for F
0 for N2
+1 for Li
+3 for Fe
C, because vinegar ph scale is 2.5
The oxidation state of a substance is the electric charge it is exhibiting in a given state. This may be determined by looking at the oxidation states of accompanying atoms as well as the charge on the complete molecule.
In this case:
Molecular charge: 0
Oxidation state of oxygen: -2 (it is a group 6 element)
Thus,
S + 3 * -2 = 0
S = 6
Sulfur is exhibiting an oxidation state of +6.
That is, water has a high heat of vaporization, the amount of energy needed to change one gram of a liquid substance to a gas at constant temperature. Water's heat of vaporization is around 540 cal/g at 100 °C, water's boiling point.
