Answer:

+3

Explanation:

The oxygen all have a -2 oxidation state. (peroxides are exceptions)

The chemical structure is symmetrical. Both carbon are equivalent.

2 (oxidation state of carbon) + 4 (oxidation state of oxygen) = charge of ion.

2 (oxidation state of carbon) + 4 (-2) = -2

oxidation state of carbon = +3

Answer:

+3

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by knowing that the molecule has the following oxidation states structure, one can solve for the carbon's oxidation state via the total ion's charge as shown below:

(C_2^xO_4^{-2})^{2-}\\2x-8=-2\\x=\frac{-2+8}{2}=+3

Therefore, the carbon's oxidation state is +3

Best regards.

To what volume should you dilute 50.0 ml of 12 m hno3 solution to obtain a 0.100 m hno3 solution?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The answer is "6L"

Explanation:

Formula:

\bold{C_1 \times V_1 = C_2 \times V_2 }\\\\V_2= \frac{C_1\times V_1}{C_2}

Values:

\to C_1= 12 \ m\\\to V_1= 50 \ ml\\\to C_2= 0.100 \ m\\\\\\V_2= \frac{12 \times 50 }{0.100}

   = \frac{12 \times 50 }{0.100}\\\\= \frac{12 \times 50 \times 1000}{100}\\\\= \frac{600 \times 1000}{100}\\\\= 600 \times 10\\\\=6000 \ ml\\= 6 \ L

An ideal gas is stored in a container at constant volume. If the temperature (T) were increased to 3T, what would be the change
Olin [163]
According to Gayle Lusac's law, pressure is proportional to absolute temperature of a gas. Thus:
P/T = constant

So if the temperature becomes 3T, the pressure would increase to 3P
