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>

A. Energy is transferred to different forms
Luden [163]

Answer:

A. Energy is transferred to different forms .

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, we need to consider the law of conservation of mass and energy which states that mass and energy cannot be neither created nor destroyed, just modified; it means we can rule out B. and C. so far.

Moreover, since D. is actually true for combustion reactions because they are used to provide energy in industrial operations, this is not the concern here because a combustion reaction is not considered.

Therefore the correct option is A. Energy is transferred to different forms as the energy provided by Rose is transferred to the pendulum system .

Best regards!

What would a 1:1 liquid binary mixture of Cyclohexane and Toluene look like? How would the molecules associate with one another?
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Both compounds are colorless, so a mixture of them will look transparent. Both molecules are nopolar, therefore they will associate with each other through London interactions, also known as Van del Waals forces or as transient dipole-transient dipole interactions.
