Answer:
Explanation:
In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.
We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.
The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.
To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:
- The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
- The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to the charge on the ion.
For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻
This would be: 2x + 7(-2) = -2
x = +6
We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.

For this problem, simply divide the mass of mercury you have by it's density.
100 g / 13.54 g/ml = 7.3855 ml
Since we only have 3 significant digits in 100., you need to round the result to 3 significant digits. So
7.3855 ml = 7.39 ml</span>
Answer:
Specific heat of solid A is greater than specific heat of solid B.
Explanation:
In the calorimeter, as the temperature is increasing, the vibrational kinetic energy will increase and this means that additional amount of energy will be needed to increase the temperature by the same value. Therefore, we can conclude that specific heat increases as temperature increases.
Now, we are told that the final temperature of solid A's calorimeter is higher than that of B.
This means from our definition earlier, Solid A will have a higher specific heat that solid B.
