Answer: 1.Sulfuric acid is a catalyst
2. Vanadium(v) oxide is a catalyst
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.
B
A qualitative observation describes the characteristics of a substance without quantifying them.
Answer:
H+ and NO3- ions
Explanation:
The Pb²+ ions react with the SO4²‐ ions to form a solid precipitate, i.e. they bond together and undergo a phase change;
On the contrary, the H+ and NO3- ions are aqueous ions before the reaction and the same after the reaction, i.e. they don't change;
Hence, the H+ and NO3- ions are spectator ions
The way to do this type of question is to consider what changes and what doesn't, look at phase changes and oxidation state changes
Answer:
The center of an Atom is called the Nucleus.
