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

What is the ph of a 0.014 M HCL solution?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

pH = 1.853

Explanation:

For every mole of hydrochloric acid, one mole of hydronium ion is required. Thus, in order to neutralize 0.014 moles of HCL, 0.014 moles of hydronium is required.

[H_3O^+] = [HCl] = 0.014

pH  = -log [H^+] = -log [H_3O^+]

Substituting the available values in above equation, we can say that   the pH of the solution is equal to

- log (0.014)

pH = 1.853

pH of a 0.014 M HCL solution = 1.853

A reaction is exothermic when Group of answer choices weak bonds break and strong bonds form. strong bonds break and weak bonds
Leona [35]

Answer:

weak bonds break and strong bonds form

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction in which heat energy is evolved during the reaction process.

Bond formation requires energy while bond breakage releases energy. More energy is needed for the formation of weak bonds as compared to strong bonds.

<em>Hence, when weak bonds break, they release more energy than needed to make a corresponding strong bond leading to the release of the remaining energy as heat.</em>
