Answer:
b) +2 and +3.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the molecular formulas:
And:
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:
Moreover, for the second case the oxidation state of X should be +3 in order to obtain 3 as the subscript of oxygen:
Thus, answer is b)+2 and +3
Best regards.
Accuracy is more of a range
I believe that the chemical formula for an acid often begins with H, which means C is your answer.
Answer:
3 is the coefficient of oxygen.
Explanation:
Chemical equation:
CH₃OH + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
Balanced chemical equation:
2CH₃OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 4H₂O
The given reaction is combustion reaction. In this reaction methanol is burn in the presence of oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water.
The balance equation show reaction also follow the law of conservation of mass.
This law was given by French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
