If element x forms the oxides xo and x2o3 the oxidation numbers of element x are

Chemistry
1 answer:
Deffense [45]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

b) +2 and +3.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the molecular formulas:

XO

And:

X_2O_3

We can relate the subscripts with the oxidation states by knowing that they are crossed when the compound is formed, for that reason, we notice that oxygen oxidation state should be -2 for both cases and the oxidation state of X in the first formula must be +2 since both X and O has one as their subscript as they were simplified:

X^{+2}O^{-2}

Moreover, for the second case the oxidation state of X should be +3 in order to obtain 3 as the subscript of oxygen:

X_2^{+3}O_3^{-2}

Thus, answer is b)+2 and +3

Best regards.

Cesium has a radius of 272 pm and crystallizes in a body-centered cubic structure. What is the edge length of the unit cell
olchik [2.2K]

Answer: Edge length of the unit cell = 628pm

Explanation: For a body centred cubic structured system, the relationship between the edge length of the unit cell and radius of the atoms in the structure is

Edge length of Unit cell (a) = (4R)/(√3)

R = 272pm = (272 × (10^-12))m = (2.72 × (10^-10))m

a = (4 × (2.72 × (10^-10)))/(√3)

a = (6.28157 × (10^-10))m = 628pm

Iodine-131 half life 8.040 how long will it take for a 40 gram sample of iodine-131 to decay to 0.75 grams
otez555 [7]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

To get this, we need to apply the general expression for half life decay:

N = N₀e(-λt)    (1)

Where:

N and N₀ would be the final and innitial quantities, in this case, masses.

t: time required to decay

λ: factor related to half life

From the above expression we need λ and t. To get λ we use the following expression:

λ = t₁₂/ln2   (2)

And we have the value of half life, so, replacing we have:

λ = 8.04 / ln2 = 11.6

Now, we can replace in (1) and then, solve for t:

0.75 = 40 exp(-11.6t)

0.75 / 40 = exp(-11.6t)

ln(0.01875) = -11.6t

-3.9766 = -11.6t

t = -3.9766 / -11.6

<h2>t = 0.34 days</h2><h2></h2>
