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

oxidation number of H2SO4 :- +6

Caffeine (C8H10N4O2) is a stimulant found in coffees and teas. When dissolved in water, it can accept a proton from a water mole

Olenka [21]

Answer:

See figure 1

Explanation:

If we want to find the acid and the Brønsted-Lowry base, we must remember the definition for each of these molecules:

-) Acid: hydrogen donor

-) Base: hydrogen acceptor

In the caffeine structure, we have several atoms of nitrogen. These nitrogen atoms have the ability to accept hydronium ions ( $H^+$ ). Therefore the caffeine molecule will be the base since it can accept

If caffeine is the base, the water must be the acid. So, the water in this reaction donated a hydronium ion.

Thus, caffeine is the base and water the acid. (See figure 1)

A sample of gas contains 3.0L of nitrogen at 320kPa. What volume would be necessary to decrease the pressure at 110kPa

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

$V_{2} = 8.92 L$

Explanation:

We have the equation for ideal gas expressed as:

PV=nRT

Being:

P = Pressure

V = Volume

n = molar number

R = Universal gas constant

T = Temperature

From the statement of the problem I infer that we are looking to change the volume and the pressure, maintaining the temperature, so I can calculate the right side of the equation with the data of the initial condition of the gas:

$P_{1} V_{1} =nRT$

$320Kpa*0.003m^{3} =nRT$

$1000L = 1m^{3}$

$nRT= 0.96$

Now, as for the final condition:

$P_{2}V_{2}=nRT$

$P_{2} V_{2} =0.96$

clearing $V_{2}$

$V_{2} =\frac{0.96}{P_{2} }$

$V_{2} =0.00872m_{3}$

$V_{2} = 8.92 L$

Which of the following values is measured the LEAST precisely? * 22mL 45.2mL 50mL 100mLchem

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

If you're looking at the data as a whole, it would most likely be 100ml.

Explanation: The definition of precise is data close together so 100ml is furthest away from the other recorded numbers
