Ok so O3 has a greater electronegativity and is taken into account first, -2*3=-6, so As has to equal 6/2=3, so As has a +3 oxidation number here

Answer : The oxidation number of arsenic (As) 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.

The oxidation number of  oxygen (O)  in compounds is usually -2.

The given compound is, As_2O_3

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

2x+3(-2)=0\\\\2x-6=0\\\\2x=+6\\\\x=+3

Therefore, the oxidation number of arsenic (As) is, (+3)

What is the pH of a substance that has a hydrogen ion concentration of<br> 8.8x10^(-5) M? *
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The pH of the substance is 4,06.

Explanation:

The pH indicates the acidity or basicity of a substance. PH values between 0 and less than 7 indicate acidic solutions, 7 neutral and greater than 7 to 14 basic. It is calculated as:

pH = -log (H +)

pH= -log (8.8x10^-5)

<em>pH=4,06</em>

Mercury(II) oxide (HgO) decomposes to form mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O2). The balanced chemical equation is shown below.
zavuch27 [327]

15.63 mol. You need 15.63 mol HgO to produce 250.0 g O_2.

<em>Step 1</em>. Convert <em>grams of O_2 to moles of O_2</em>

Moles of O_2 = 250.0 g O_2 × (1 mol O_2/32.00 g O_2) = 7.8125 mol O_2

<em>Step 2</em>. Use the molar ratio of HgO:O_2 to convert <em>moles of O_2 to moles of HgO </em>

Moles of HgO = 0.8885 mol O_2 × (2 mol HgO/1 mol O_2) = <em>15.63 mol HgO</em>
