Answer:

Explanation:

In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.

We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.

The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.

To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:

  • The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
  • The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to  the charge on the ion.

For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻

This would be:  2x + 7(-2) = -2

                          x = +6

We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, how much water is produced if 22.5 g of
nadezda [96]

Answer: The amount of water produced is 9.3 grams

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

mass of reactants = mass of methane + mass of oxygen = 22.5 g + 35.7 g = 58.2 g

mass of products = mass of carbon dioxide + mass of water = 48.9 g +  mass of water

48.9 g +  mass of water = 58.2 g

mass of water = 9.3 g

When gases dissolve in gases or when liquids and gases dissolve in liquids, _________eventually spreads the particles evenly thr
natulia [17]

When gases dissolve in gases or when liquids and gases dissolve in liquids, particles movement eventually spreads the particles evenly throughout the solvent resulting in a homogeneous mixture.​

Explanation:

When gases dissolve in gases or when liquids and gases dissolve in liquids, particle movement eventually spreads the particles evenly throughout the solvent resulting in a homogeneous mixture.​

Solid particles do not dissolve easily like liquids and gases dissolve. Solid particles when dissolved in solid the particles moves very little. After getting heated and becomes molten then they get mixed.

But in the liquids and gases atoms moves and the particles get eventually spread and also get mixed after cooled.
