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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Deffense [45]2 years ago

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.

A small hot-air balloon is filled with 1.00×106 L of air (d = 1.20 g/L). As the air in the balloon is heated, it expands to 1.12
Nat2105 [25]
The volume of air in the balloon is
V = 1 x 10⁶ L.
The density is
d = 1.20 g/L = 1.2 x 10⁻³ kg/L.

The mass of air is
m = V*d = (1 x 10⁶ L)*(1.2 x 10⁻³ kg/L) = 1.2 x 10³ kg

When the balloon s heated and the volume of air expands to 1.12 x 10⁶ L, the mass of air remains the same.
The new density, D, is given by
(1.2 x 10³ kg) = (D kg/L)*(1.12 x 10⁶ L)
D = (1.2 x 10³)/(1.12 x 10⁶) = 1.07 x 10⁻³ kg/L

Answer:  1.07 x 10⁻³ kg/L (or 1.07 g/L)
