Answer:

C

Explanation:

The oxidation number of Sulphur in SO4^2- is;

x + 4(-2) = -2

x - 8 = -2

x = -2 + 8

x = 6

Now,

the oxidation number of sulphur in H2SO3 is

2 (1) + x + 3(-2) = 0

2 + x -6 = 0

-4 + x = 0

x = 4

Hence, the oxidation number of sulphur changed from +6 to +4 which signifies  gain of two electrons as shown in option C.

What is the total number of valence electrons in the dot structure of CBr4? Explain how you determined this answer. What is the
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:- There are 32 valence electrons and it's tetrahedral in shape.

Explanations:- Atomic number of carbon is 6 and it's electron configuration is 1s^22s^22p^2 . It has 4 electrons in the outer most shell means it has 4 valence electrons.

Atomic number of Br is 35 and it's electron configuration is 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^1^04p^5 . It has 7 electrons in the outer most shell(2 in 4s and 5 in 4p) .

There is one C and four Br in the given compound. So, total number of valence electrons = 4+4(7) = 4+28 = 32

Four Br atoms are bonded to the central carbon atom and also there isn't any lone pair present on carbon. It makes it tetrahedral.

<span>Not to be confused with tetration. This article is about volumetric titration. For other uses, see Titration (disambiguation). Acid–base titration is a quantitative analysis of concentration of an unknown acid or base solution. Titration, also known as titrimetry,[1] is a common laboratory method of quantitative chemical analysis that is used to determine the unknown concentration of an identified analyte. Since volume measurements play a key role in titration, it is also known as volumetric analysis. A reagent, called the titrant or titrator[2] is prepared as a standard solution. A known concentration and volume of titrant reacts with a solution of analyte or titrand[3] to determine concentration. The volume of titrant reacted is called titration volume</span>
