The correct subscript for the reaction would be two. Oxygen gas exists as a diatomic molecule in nature. Also, the subscript two would balance the reaction. In balancing reactions, it is important that the atoms on each side of the reaction is equal.

What is the molarity of a solution in which 25.3 grams of potassium bromide is dissolved in 150. mL of solution?
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

~1.417M

Explanation:

Molarity=(number of moles of solute)/(litres of solution)

In this case, we need to find moles of potassium bromide.

Mass=25.3g

Molar mass= 119g/mol

moles=(mass/molar mass)

        =(25.3)/(119)

        =0.2126moles of potassium bromide

Molarity=(0.2126)/(150/1000)

       ~1.417M

Hope this helps:)

Determine the basic oxidation<br>number for elements in s and p<br>orbitals​
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation (loss of electrons) of an atom in a chemical compound. Conceptually, the oxidation state, which may be positive, negative or zero, is the hypothetical charge that an atom would have if all bonds to atoms of different elements were 100% ionic, with no covalent component. This is never exactly true for real bonds.

The term oxidation was first used by Antoine Lavoisier to signify reaction of a substance with oxygen. Much later, it was realized that the substance, upon being oxidized, loses electrons, and the meaning was extended to include other reactions in which electrons are lost, regardless of whether oxygen was involved.

How do you get hyphen notations?
laiz [17]

Answer:

In hyphen notation, the mass number is written after the name of the element. For example, in isotopic notation, the isotope of carbon that has a mass number of twelve would be represented as 12C . In hyphen notation, it would be written as carbon-12.

Arrange the following oxides in order of increasing acidity.
zmey [24]

Answer:

Based on the Modern Periodic table, there is an increase in the electropositivity of the atom down the group as well as increases across a period. On comparing the electropositivities of the mentioned oxides central atom, it is seen that Ca is most electropositive followed by Al, Si, C, P, and S is the least electropositive.  

With the decrease in the electropositivity, there is an increase in the acidity of the oxides. Thus, the increasing order of the oxides from the least acidic to the most acidic is:  

CaO > Al2O3 > SiO2 > CO2 > P2O5 > SO3. Hence, CaO is the least acidic and SO3 is the most acidic.
