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.

vichka [17]
The swimming pools pH is below 7, meaning it is slightly acidic. If you want to make the pH higher, you must add a base which by definition has a pH higher than 7.

How many electrons in an atom could have these sets of quantum numbers n=7 l=3 ml=-1?
zysi [14]

Solution:

Since we have ml=-1

it shows that it has two 2e- i;e it fond in 2nd subshell in f orbital. And each subshell can hold 2 e-.

Thus the required answer is 2 electrons hold by an atom.

pshichka [43]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Cannon-Bard theory

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>The idea that an emotion-arousing stimulus is simultaneously routed to the cortex and to the sympathetic nervous system is central to the Cannon-Band theory.</u></em>
  • Cannon-Bard theory states that we feel emotions and experience physiological reactions such as sweating, trembling, and muscle tension simultaneously.
  • The theory argues that we experience physiological arousal and emotion at the same time. The theory gives more attention to the role of thought or outward behavior as compared to James-Lange.
