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>

List all orbitals from 1s through 5s according to increasing energy for multielectron atoms. rank orbitals from smallest to larg
GaryK [48]

Answer:

1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p < 5s

Explanation:

You can predict the order of orbital energies by constructing a diagram as shown below.

Follow the arrows to get the orbitals in order of increasing energy.

The order is

1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p < 5s

From the amount of NaOH added at the 1st equivalence point, calculate the original molarity of the acid. Carry out the same calc
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Molarity of acid, Ca = Cb*Vb*A/Va*B

Explanation:

Using H2SO4 as acid, the reaction is as follow:

2NaOH  +  H2SO4 ⇒ Na2SO4  +  2H2O

Volume of acid = Va; Volume of base = Vb, Molar concentration of  acid = Ca; Molar concentration of base = Cb; Molarity of acid = A and Molarity of base = B

Ca*Va/Cb*Vb =A/B

∴ Ca = Cb*Vb*A/Va*B
