Answer :

The oxidation state of oxygen (O) in $OF_2$ is, (+2)

The oxidation state of carbon (C) in $CO$ is, (+2)

The oxidation state of nitrogen (N) in $K_3N$ is, (-3)

Explanation :

Oxidation number : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.

The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

(a) The given compound is, $OF_2$

Let the oxidation state of 'O' be, 'x'

$x+2(-1)=0\\\\x-2=0\\\\x=+2$

The oxidation state of oxygen (O) in $OF_2$ is, (+2)

(b) The given compound is, $CO$

Let the oxidation state of 'C' be, 'x'

$x+(-2)=0\\\\x-2=0\\\\x=+2$

The oxidation state of carbon (C) in $CO$ is, (+2)

(c) The given compound is, $K_3N$

Let the oxidation state of 'N' be, 'x'

$3(+1)+x=0\\\\3+x=0\\\\x=-3$

The oxidation state of nitrogen (N) in $K_3N$ is, (-3)

Answer:

The oxidation state of O in OF₂ is -2

The oxidaiton state of C in CO is +2

The oxidation state of N in K₃N is -3

Explanation:

In the OF₂ molecule, fluorine acts with -1 in this compound as the molecule has 2 atoms of F, the oxygen must act with -2.

Oxygen usually has -2 as oxidation state, except for the peroxides.

In CO, the oxygen has -2 as oxidation state so C works with +2

C usually has +4 as oxidation state but it can act with +2 and -4

For K₃N: oxidation state of K is +1,but we have 3 atoms (+3). Therefore the N must work with -3 as oxidation state. Nitrogen has many oxidation states, as the halogens (except for the F). It can work with 1, 2, +-3, 4 and 5.

Remember that the global charge of the molecule is 0

Chloroform flows through a 4.26 inch inside-diameter pipe at the rate of 3.60 gallons per minute. What is the average velocity o

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

1) 0,081 ft/s

2) 0,746 lb/s

Explanation:

The relation between flow and velocity of a fluid is given by:

Q=Av

where:

Q, flow [ft3/s]
A, cross section of the pipe [ft2]
v, velocity of the fluid [ft/s]

To convert our data to appropiate units, we use the following convertion factors:

1 ft=12 inches

1 ft3=7,48 gallons

1 minute=60 seconds

So,

$Q=\frac{3,60 gallons}{1 min}*\frac{1min}{60 s}*\frac{1ft3}{7,48gallons}=0,00802 \frac{ft3}{s}$

As the pipe has a circular section, we use A=πd^2/4:

$d=4,26 inch *\frac{1ft}{12 inch}=0,355ft\\ A=\pi \frac{0,355^{2} }{4}=0,0989ft2$

Finally:

Q=vA......................v=Q/A

$v=\frac{0,00802ft^{3} /s}{0,0989ft^{2} }=0,081ft/s$

The following formula is used to calculate the specific gravity of a material:

SG = ρ / ρW

where:

SG = specific gravity,

ρ = density of the material [lb/ft3]

ρW = density of water [lb/ft3] = 62.4 lbs/ft3

then:

ρ = SG*ρW = 1,49* 62,4 lb/ft3 = 93 lb/ft3

To calculate the mass flow, we just use the density of the chloroform in lb/ft3 to relate mass and volume:

$0,00802 \frac{ft3}{s}*\frac{93lb}{1ft3}=0,746lb/s$

Which description accurately represents a water molecule? (1 point)

bagirrra123 [75]

The description which accurately represents a water molecule is slightly negative oxygen pole, slightly positive hydrogen poles.

Water is a polar molecule. This means that the molecule has a dipole moment.

The polarity of water arises from the difference in electronegativity between hydrogen and oxygen.

Hence, in water molecule, oxygen is slightly negative and hydrogen is slightly positive thereby resulting in a dipole.

Some lichen symbionts can survive independently on bare rocks in the absence of any external source of organic matter due to the

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Some lichen symbionts can survive independently on bare rocks in the absence of any external source of organic matter due to the ability of the phototrophic partner to fix CO2 from the air, and <u>nitrogen fixation by the cyanobacterial partner.</u>

Explanation:

Lichen are organisms formed from the symbiotic association of a fungus with an organism capable of photosynthesis, be it an algae, a cyanobacterium, or both.

The fungus depends entirely on the photosynthetic organism in its metabolism of carbohydrates, receiving sugars or saccharine alcohols from it. For its part, the algae depends, for its metabolism, on the water and the mineral substances that the fungus provides it, at the same time that it is also protected by it from too high light intensities.

How does technology limit the future of space exploration? A. Scientists are able to work both with current and future technolog

GREYUIT [131]

The answer is most likely that the answer is B. Because Space is a dangerous place in which you need certain things to explore it. If you want to go to to Jupiter, for example you need lots of Oxygen, fuel, a good rocket, willing people and many more things, but there is a way technology can skip all that. the technology we have now is not capable of doing that though.
