You have to calculate the oxidation estates of the atoms in each compound.

I will start with K2Cr2O7 because I believe that Cr is the best candidate to reduce its oxidation number in 3 units.

In K2Cr2O7:

- K has oxidation state of 1+, then K2 has a charge of 2* (1+) = 2+.

- O has oxidation state of 2*, then O7 has a charge of 7* (2-) = 14-.

That makes that Cr2 has charge of 14 - 2 = +12, so each Cr has +12/2 = +6 oxidation state.

In Cr2O3:

- O has oxidation state of 2-, then O3 has charge 3 * (2-) = - 6

- Then, Cr2 has charge 6+, and each Cr has charge 6+ / 2 = 3+.

So, we have seen that Cr reduced its oxidation state in 3 units, from 6+ to 3+.

Answer: Cr has a change in oxidation number of - 3.

3. compared to the melting points of ionic compounds, the melting points of molecular solids tend to be ___.
Reil [10]
C) Lower, 

They're lower because molecular solids form IMF's such as Dipole-Dipole and H-Bonds, while Ionic bonds are much more powerful.

Can you look at the picture and tell me that answer ? Thank you
zepelin [54]
The answer is choice (1).

In case you're interested in the solution for future reference:

-- Density = (mass) / (volume)

-- The scale shows that the mass of the sample is 60 grams.

-- The graduated cylinder has 24 mL in it <em>without</em> the sample.
The graduated cylinder has 34 mL in it <em>with</em> the sample.
The volume of the sample is (34mL - 24mL) = 10 mL .

-- Density = mass/volume = 60g / 10mL = 6 g/mL

Answer:

ethyl methyl ether

Explanation:

when naming ethers name the alkyl rings, in this case we have methyl and ethyl( make sure they are in alphabetical order) followed by the word ether, so it becomes ethyl methyl ether
