Explanation:
The sum of all oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is zero. The sum of all oxidation numbers in a polyatomic (many-atom) ion is equal to the charge on the ion. The oxidation number of oxygen in a compound is usually –2. The oxidation state of hydrogen in a compound is usually +1.
The oxidation state of Al in Al(OH)
4
−
x+4(+1−2)=−1
∴x=+3
The oxidation state of Mn in MnO
2
y+2(−2)=0
∴y=+4
thank u
Explanation:
an acid will give away a proton and become a conjugate base.
A base will accept a proton and become a conjugate acid.
Answer:
At high temperatures or in the presence of catalysts, sulfur dioxide reacts with hydrogen sulfide to form elemental sulfur and water. This reaction is exploited in the Claus process, an important industrial method to dispose of hydrogen sulfide.
Answer:
The correct answer is option D.
Explanation:
When a chemical reaction proceeds the reactants are converted into products. The energy hill represents the potential energy of the reaction.
There are two conditions: If the reaction is endothermic than the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants and ΔH is positive. This energy gain is shown in the form of a peak. In an exothermic reaction, the energy of the products is lower than the reactants and ΔH is negative.
So the suitable option is D which states that the reaction is endothermic and the potential energy gained by the products is higher when a reaction proceeds.
