Answer: X could represent the element of oxidation state (+2) such as (Mg2+, Pb2+, Ba2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Zn2+, ....etc)

Explanation:

  • The formula of the compound XSO4 is a neutral compound that the algebraic summation of the oxidation states of different elements in it must be zero.
  • The group SO4 has the oxidation state (2-), that S has (6+) oxidation state and O has (2-) oxidation state, so the oxidation of SO4 = (6+) + (-2*4) = -2.
  • It is clear that X must have the oxidation state 2+.
  • So, X could be represents by many different elements such as (Mg2+, Pb2+, Ba2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, ....etc)

X represents group 5A by my periodic table. P2O5 is an example. <span>Since there's charge specified, it must be a neutral atom. For this, each of the X would need a +5 charge. On the other hand, if it's in group 15, then it can form a covalent bond, since each atom in group 15 can share 5 atoms.</span>

Which chemical equation demonstrates the law of conservation of mass!
zlopas [31]

Answer:

F. 2NO + 02 —> 2NO

H. 4NH3 + 502 —> 4NO + 6H20

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but can be convert from one form to another.

2NO + 02 —> 2NO

From the above, the total number of N on the left balance the total number on the right i.e 2 atoms of N on both side of the equation.

The total number of O on the left balance the total number on the right i.e 2 atoms of O on both side of the equation. This is certified by the law of conservation of mass.

4NH3 + 502 —> 4NO + 6H20

From the above, the total number of N on the left balance the total number on the right i.e 4 atoms of N on both side of the equation.

The total number of O on the left balance the total number on the right i.e 10 atoms of O on both side of the equation.

The total number of H on the left balance the total number on the right i.e 12 atoms of O on both side of the equation.

This is certified by the law of conservation of mass.

The rest equation did not conform to the law of conservation of mass as the atoms on the left side did not balance those on the right side

The statement above is FALSE.
Unlabeled atom joined to carbon atoms which are not directly part of a ring structure are assumed to be CARBON ATOMS. In a ring structure, an unlabeled atom at the angle where two lines joined together is always assumed to be a carbon atom<span />
