What is the oxidation number of sulfur (S) in sulfuric acid (H2SO4)? -6 +2 +4 +6

Chemistry

mash [69]3 years ago

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Oxidation number is defined as the number located at the top of the symbol of an atom by either gain or loss of electrons when it chemically combines with another atom.

In H_{2}SO_{4} compound, the oxidation number of a hydrogen atom is +1  and oxidation number of an oxygen atom is -2.

Therefore, let the oxidation number of sulfur is x and calculate its value as follows.

                   2(1) + x + 4(-2) = 0      

                          x = +6

Thus, we can conclude that the oxidation number of sulfur in sulfuric acid is +6.

H2SO4

oxidation number of hydrogen :- +1

oxidation number of oxygen  :-   -2

if oxidation number of H2SO4 is x


2x (+1) + x + 4x (-2) = 0

+ 2 + x -8 = 0

x = +6

<u>oxidation number of H2SO4 :-  +6</u>

Help pleaseee!!!Please explain how evaporation condensation and precipitation are involved in the water cycle
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: The water cycle shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere. ... Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow. Water in different phases moves through the atmosphere (transportation).

When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 14.4 g of carbon were burned in the presence of
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Mass of carbon dioxide produced = 52.8 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of carbon react = 14.4 g

Mass of oxygen = 56.5 g

Mass of oxygen left = 18.1 g

Mass of carbon dioxide produced = ?

Solution:

C + O₂     →      CO₂

Number of moles of C:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 14.4 g/ 12 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.2 mol

18.1 g of oxygen left it means carbon is limiting reactant.

Now we will compare the moles of C with CO₂.

                       C             :         CO₂

                        1             :          1

                      1.2           :          1.2

Mass of CO₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.2  mol × 44 g/mol

Mass = 52.8 g

In the example, the final kinetic energy is determined to be ___________ because at the peak height, the ball instantaneously st
alina1380 [7]

TLDR: The kinetic energy is determined to be zero.

Kinetic energy is energy of motion; when an object is moving (i.e. it has speed or velocity), it has some amount of kinetic energy. The equation itself looks like so:

KE=1/2(m)(v)^2,

where "m" represents the mass of the object and "v" represents the objects speed or velocity. In this example, the ball has stopped, meaning it has no speed/velocity. This means that the final kinetic energy is determined to be zero or none, due to the lack of motion. Mathematically, you can see this by substituting "0" in for "v" (the ball is stopped):

KE=1/2(m)(v)^2

KE=1/2(m)(0)^2

KE=1/2(m)*0

KE=1/2*0

KE=0 J,

or zero kinetic energy.

Hope this helps! :)
