Answer:

a.  x = + 2

b.  x = + 3

c.  x = + 2

d.  x = + 3

Explanation:

The oxidation number is a formal charge assigned to an atom present in a molecule or formula unit or ion based on some arbitrary rules.

a.

<u>Hg</u>O

The oxidation number of Hg in HgO is:

x + (-2) = 0

x = +2

b.

<u>Al₄</u>C₃

The oxidation number of Al in Al<u>₄</u>C₃ is:

4x +(3 × -4) = 0

4x - 12 = 0

4x = +12

x = 12/4

x = +3

c. CrF₂

x + ( 2 × - 1) = 0

x - 2 = 0

x = + 2

d. Fe₂S₃

2x + ( 3 × - 2) = 0

2x + (-6) = 0

2x = 6

x = 6/2

x = +3

Plz help i need the answer ASAP If 6.20 cm3 of a 6.75 M (M = mol/dm3) solution are diluted to 85.6 cm3 with water, what is the c
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Option A. 6.75 (6.20/85.6)

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial volume (V1) = 6.2cm³

Initial concentration (C1) = 6.75M

Final volume (V2) = 85.6cm³

Final concentration (C2) =.?

The final concentration can be obtained by using the dilution formula as show below:

C1V1 = C2V2

6.75 x 6.2 = C2 x 85.6

Divide both side by 85.6

C2 = (6.75 x 6.2) /85.6

C2 = 6.75 (6.2 / 85.6).

Automotive air bags inflate when sodium azide decomposes explosively to its constituent elements:
andrezito [222]

Answer: 1.875 moles

Explanation:

2 NaN3(s) → 2 Na(s) + 3 N2(g)

From the equation above, Sodium azide has a chemical formula of NaN3 while nitrogen gas has a chemical formula of N2.

Therefore, If on decomposition

2 moles of NaN3 produce 3 moles of N2

1.25 mol of NaN3 produce Z moles of N2

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

Z x 2 moles = 3 moles x 1.25 moles

2 moles•Z = 3.75 moles²

Divide both sides by 2 moles

2 moles•Z/2 moles = 3.75 moles²/2 moles

Z = 1.875 moles

Thus, 1.875 moles of N2 are produced by the decomposition of 1.25 mol of sodium azide

What is the percent by mass of sodium in Na2SO4
mr Goodwill [35]
The gram formula mass of Na2SO4 is 23*2+32+16*4=142. And the mass for sodium is 23*2=46. So the percent by mass is 46/142*100%=32.4%.
