Answer:

A. + 6.

B. + 3.

Explanation:

A. K₂CrO₄:

To calculate the oxidation no. of an element in a compound:

We have that the sum of the oxidation no. of different elements in the compound multiplied by its no. is equal to the overall charge of the compound.

∵ 2(oxidation no. of K) + (oxidation no. of Cr) + 4(oxidation no. of O) = 0.

oxidation no. of K = + 1, oxidation no. of O = - 2.

∴ 2(+ 1) + (oxidation no. of Cr) +4(- 2) = 0.

∴ 2 + (oxidation no. of Cr) - 8 = 0.

∴ (oxidation no. of Cr) - 6 = 0.

∴ oxidation no. of Cr = + 6.

B. Cr₂O₃:

∵ 2(oxidation no. of Cr) + 3(oxidation no. of O) = 0.

oxidation no. of O = - 2.

∴ 2(oxidation no. of Cr) + 3(- 2) = 0.

∴ 2(oxidation no. of Cr) - 6 = 0.

∴ 2(oxidation no. of Cr) = + 6.

∴ (oxidation no. of Cr) = + 6/2 = + 3.

A chemical reaction produces 653 550 kj of energy as heat in 142.3min. calculate the rate of energy transferred in kj per minute

miskamm [114]

We have the value of

Total energy produced in the chemical reaction=653 550 KJ

Time needed=142.3min

To calculate the rate of energy transfer, that is the amount of energy produced per minute.

Rate of energy transfer= $\frac{Total energy produced}{Time needed}$

= $\frac{653 550}{142.3}$

=4592.76 KJ min⁻¹

So, the rate of energy transfer is 4592.76 KJ min⁻¹.

If you dive out just past the continental slope and look at the living things on the ocean floor which zone are you exploring

mamaluj [8]

Lies just beyond the continental slope is the open ocean zone and it has three subzones namely the epipelagic(sunlit zone), mesopelagic(disphotic zone) and bathypelagic zones(aphotic zone). The oceanic zone covers 65% of the ocean's water and where different types of terrains can be found. From deep trenches, deep sea volcanoes and basins. A variety of sea creatures can also be found on each subzone.
