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.

A discarded spray paint can contains only a small volume of the propellant gas at a
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

1.24 × 10³ kPa

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Initial pressure of the gas (P₁): 34.5 kPa
  • Initial volume of the can (V₁): 473 mL
  • Final pressure of the gas (P₂): ?
  • Final volume of the can (V₂): 13.16 mL

Step 2: Calculate the final pressure of the gas in the can

If we assume that the gas in the can behaves as an ideal gas and that the temperature remains constant, we can calculate the final pressure of the gas using Boyle's law.

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

P₂ = P₁ × V₁ / V₂

P₂ = 34.5 kPa × 473 mL / 13.16 mL = 1.24 × 10³ kPa

What is the empirical formula of a compound that contains 25.92 percent nitrogen and 74.07 percent oxygen?
pychu [463]

<span><span>N2</span><span>O5</span></span>

Explanation! 

When given %, assume you have 100 g of the substance. Find moles, divide by lowest count. In this case you'll end up with

<span><span>25.92 g N<span>14.01 g N/mol N</span></span>=1.850 mol N</span>

<span><span>74.07 g O<span>16.00 g O/mol O</span></span>=4.629 mol O</span>

The ratio between these is <span>2.502 mol O/mol N</span>, which corresponds closely with <span><span>N2</span><span>O5</span></span>.

When the following equation is balanced, what is the coefficient for NaNO3?
notka56 [123]

The coefficient for NaNO₃ = 6

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:  

• 1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.  

• 2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product  

• 3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1  

Reaction

AI(NO₃)₃ +Na₂SO₄ → Al₂(SO₄) + NaNO₃

give coefficient

aAI(NO₃)₃ +bNa₂SO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ +c NaNO₃

Al, left=a, right=2⇒a=2

N, left=3a, right=c⇒3a=c⇒3.2=c⇒c=6

Na, left=2b, right=c⇒2b=c⇒2b=6⇒b=3

The equation becomes :

2AI(NO₃)₃ +3Na₂SO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ +6NaNO₃
