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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Deffense [45]3 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.

Four springs are stretched to the same distance from the equilibrium position. The spring constants are listed in the table. A 2
svp [43]

Answer:

The correct option is;

X, W, Y, Z

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Spring (S),         Spring Constant (N/m)

      W,                   24

      X,                    35

      Y,                    22

      Z,                    15

The equation for elastic potential energy, E_e, is E_e = 0.5 \times k \times x^2

The above equation can also be written as E_e =\dfrac{1}{2}  \times k \times x^2

Where:

k = The spring constant in (N/m)

x = The spring extension

Therefore, since the elastic potential energy, E_e, of the spring is directly proportional to the spring constant, k, we have the springs with higher spring constant will have higher elastic potential energy, E_e, therefore the correct order is as follows;

X > W > Y > Z

A student dropped a piece of nickel metal into a solution of HCl(aq). He observed the formation of gas bubbles and collected the
omeli [17]

Answer:

a. The student performed the splint test incorrectly. He should of observed a popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.

Explanation:

It is given that a student performed an experiment where he dropped a nickel metal in to HCl solution. He observed the reaction and performed a splint test in the test tube that is filled with a gas which is formed while Nickle is dropped into the solution of HCl.

But the experiment that the student performed was incorrect. He must have observed the popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.

When the splint was added to the gas splint flared up. The hydrogen gas pops out when exposed to the flame.

$Ni + HCl(aq) = NiCl + H_2$

Thus the correct option is (a).
