What is the oxidation state of S in HSO4^2-? (A.P.E.X)

1 answer:

7 0

I think there is a typo because I've never seen HSO4 2- before in my life. It should be HSO4-. For that, H is 1+ and each Oxygen is 2-0 totaling 8-. So the oxidation state of sulfur +1 - 8 = 7

So the oxidation state of sulfur is +6

below left is a cylinder containing water. an ball with a mass of 21g and a volume of 15 cm3 is lowered into the water. sketch t

You didn’t show the cylinder containing water, so I created one that you can use as a model (see image).

The water level was originally at 37 mL.

Then you added the ball, and it displaced its volume of water.

The new volume reading is 52 mL, so

Volume of ball = volume of displaced water = 52 mL – 37 mL = 15 mL.

It is to do with the ionisation of the atom. Copper is a metal, so it will lose electrons. When reacted with a non-metal, it will form an ionic bond.

In copper (I) sulphate, the copper ions have a charge of +1, ie they have lost ONE electron each.

Copper (I) sulphate has the chemical formula Cu2SO4. Each ionic bond involves two Cu+1 ions and a sulphate ion (SO4.

In copper (II) sulphate, the copper ions have a charge of +2, ie they have lost TWO electrons each.

Copper (II) sulphate has the chemical formula CuSO4. Each ionic bond involves a single Cu+2 ion and a sulphate ion (SO4).

So, really, it’s down to the chemical structure and the ionisation of the atom. Apart from the chemistry, copper (I) sulphate a very obscure chemical. Although, after a bit of googling, I have managed to find some info and vendors, it appears that this chemical is rarely seen and doesn’t have many practical uses.

Copper (II) sulphate, on the other hand, is incredibly common. It’s in every school chemistry lab. If someone says “copper sulphate” they will be talking about this chemical, not copper (I) sulphate. In pure form, it is a boring white powder, but when hydrated, it takes on it’s better known blue colour, with blue crystals and blue solution.

Hope this helps.

eleanor purchased $2568 worth of stock and paid her broker a 0.5% fee. She sold the stock when the stock price increased to 3928

Mrrafil [7]

Answer: $1338.16

Explanation: Total cost of stock= $2568

Total cost of stock including the brokerage $=2568+\frac{0.5}{100}\times {2568}=2580.84$ $
