Answer:
I think the answer is X if wrong i´m sorry
Explanation:
Answer:
Sulfur (Option-C) <span>exhibits chemical behavior similar to that of oxygen.
Explanation:
Sulfur has same chemical properties as that of Oxygen because both of them belongs to same group in the periodic table. Also, the similarity of chemical behaviour among the group members is due to same number of electrons in their valence shells.
For examole, the electronic configuration of Oxygen is,
1s</span>², 2s², 2p⁴
There are six valence electrons in the valence shell (i.e. 2) of Oxygen.
Now for Sulfur,
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁴
There are six valence electrons in the valence shell (i.e. 3) of Sulfur.
Therefore, both elements tends to gain 2 electrons in a reaction and form O⁻² and S⁻² respectively.
Explanation:
Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3 (aq)
Overall, balanced molecular equation
Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3(aq) --> Mg(C2H3O2)3(aq) + Cr(s)
To identify if an element has been reduced or oxidized, the oxidation number is observed in both the reactant and product phase.
An increase in oxidation number denotes that the element has been oxidized.
A decrease in oxidation number denotes that the element has been reduced.
Oxidation number of Mg:
Reactant - 0
Product - +3
Oxidation number of Cr:
Reactant - +3
Product - 0
Note: C2H3O2 is actually acetate ion; CH3COO- The oxidatioon number of C, H and O do not change.
Oxidized : Mg
Reduced : Cr
I legitimately think it's 87.3 grams
