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>

Predict, using Boyle’s Law, what will happen to a balloon that an ocean diver takes to a pressure of 202 kPa (normal atmospheric
kaheart [24]

Explanation:

Balloon that an ocean diver takes to a pressure of 202 k Pa will get reduced in size that is the volume of the balloon will get reduced. This is because pressure and volume of the gas are inversely related to each other.

According to Boyle's law: The pressure of the gas  is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas at constant temperature(in Kelvins).

pressure\propto \frac{1}{volume} (At constant temperature)

The pressure beneath the sea is 202 kPa and the atmospheric pressure  is 101.3 kPa . This increase in pressure will result in decrease in volume occupied by the gas inside the balloon with decrease in size of a balloon. Hence, the size of the balloon will get reduced at 202 kPa (under sea).

Why is density referred to as a characteristic property of matter?
amm1812

Answer : Density of any particular matter remains the same at any concentration at any weight.


Density does not varies with the concentration. The formula for density is mass / volume.


So if the mass changes the density will change accordingly, also if the volume changes the density will get changed.


because, of the above reasons density is referred as a characteristic property of matter.
