Answer:
-3
Explanation:
The oxidation state or oxidation number of an atom is the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom.
The complex anion here is [Cr(CN)6]3-.
Now, as the oxidation state of CN or cyanide ligand is -1, and if we suppose the oxidation state of Cr to be 'x', then; x - 6 = -3 (overall charge on the anion),
so x= +3. Hence the oxidation state of Chromium in this complex hexacyanochromium (III) anion comes out to be -3.
.
Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is a process in which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water is used by the plants to make their on food.
Plants absorb energy in the form of heat from the sunlight and thus produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. This absorbed energy is then used to start various chemical and biochemical reactions in the plants.
Hence, photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction.
Thus, we can conclude that a large amount of energy is required to activate the reaction.
