Answer:
-3
Explanation:
The oxidation state or oxidation number of an atom is the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom.
The complex anion here is [Cr(CN)6]3-.
Now, as the oxidation state of CN or cyanide ligand is -1, and if we suppose the oxidation state of Cr to be 'x', then; x - 6 = -3 (overall charge on the anion),
so x= +3. Hence the oxidation state of Chromium in this complex hexacyanochromium (III) anion comes out to be -3.

Answer:
THE VOLUME OF THE BALLOON IS 1.45 L
Explanation:
At sea level:
Volume = 2 L
Pressure = 1 atm
Temperature = 12 °C
At 30000 ft altitude:
Pressure = 0.30 atm
Temperature = -55°C
Volume = unknown
Using the general gas formula:
P1 V1 / T1 = P2 V2 / T2
Re-arranging the formula by making V2 the subject of the equation, we have;
V2 = P1 V1 T2 / T1 P2
V2 = 1 * 2 * 12 / 0.30 * 55
V2 = 24 / 16.5
V2 = 1.45 L
The volume of the balloon at the temperature of -55 C and 0.30 atm is 1.45 L
