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.

At a certain temperature this reaction follows first-order kinetics with a rate constant of 0.184 s^-1 ? Suppose a vessel contai
meriva

Answer:

0.57 M

Explanation:

rate = change in concentration /time

Initial concentration of Cl2O5 = 1.16 M

Let the concentration of Cl2O5 after 5.70 seconds be y

rate = (1.16 - y)/5.7

The reaction follows a first order

Therefore, rate = ky = 0.184y

0.184y = (1.16 - y)/5.7

0.184y × 5.7 = 1.16 - y

1.0488y + y = 1.16

2.0488y = 1.16

y = 1.16/2.0488 = 0.57 M

Concentration of Cl2O5 after 5.70 seconds is 0.57 M

Explain how you would make 450 mL of a .250M NaOH solution?
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Weigh 4.5 grams of sodium hydroxide and add it to the dry volumetric flask of 450 mL followed by small amount of water to dissolve all the NaOH .After this add the water upto tye mark of 450 mL.

Explanation:

Molarity of the solution is the moles of compound in 1 Liter solutions.

Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of compound}}{\text{Molar mas of compound}\times Volume (L)}

Mass of NaOH = x

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Volume of the NaOH solution =  450 mL =- 0.450 L ( 1 ml = 0.450 L)

Molarity of the solution of NaOH = 0.250 M

Molarity=\frac{1.248 g}{26 g/mol\times 0.9102254 L}=0.528 mol/L

0.250 M=\frac{x}{40 g/mol\times 0.450 L}

Solving for x:

x = 4.5 g

Weigh 4.5 grams of sodium hydroxide and add it to the dry volumetric flask of 450 mL followed by small amount of water to dissolve all the NaOH .After this add the water upto tye mark of 450 mL.
