7 0

Answer:

A. + 6.

B. + 3.

Explanation:

<em>A. K₂CrO₄:</em>

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

<em>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.</em>

∵ 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.

<em>∴ oxidation no. of Cr = + 6.</em>

<em></em>

<em>B. Cr₂O₃:</em>

∵ 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.

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

What is the final concentration if a 50.0 mL sample of a 15% H2SO4 solution is added to water to give a final volume of 250 mL?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 3% H2SO4 solution

Explanation:

Data

Concentration 2 = C₂ = ?

Concentration 1 = C₁ = 15 %

Volume 1 = V₁ = 50 ml

Volume 2 = V₂ = 250 ml

Formula

             C₁V₁  = C₂V₂

Solve for C₂

             C₂ = C₁V₁ / V₂

Substitution

             C₂ = (15)(50) / 250

Simplification and result

             C₂  = 3 %
