I think the correct answer from the list of choices above is option B. <span>The chemical combination of two or more different atoms in fixed amounts is called a compound. There are two type of compounds namely the ionic and covalent compounds.</span>
You have to calculate the oxidation estates of the atoms in each compound.
I will start with K2Cr2O7 because I believe that Cr is the best candidate to reduce its oxidation number in 3 units.
In K2Cr2O7:
- K has oxidation state of 1+, then K2 has a charge of 2* (1+) = 2+.
- O has oxidation state of 2*, then O7 has a charge of 7* (2-) = 14-.
That makes that Cr2 has charge of 14 - 2 = +12, so each Cr has +12/2 = +6 oxidation state.
In Cr2O3:
- O has oxidation state of 2-, then O3 has charge 3 * (2-) = - 6
- Then, Cr2 has charge 6+, and each Cr has charge 6+ / 2 = 3+.
So, we have seen that Cr reduced its oxidation state in 3 units, from 6+ to 3+.
Answer: Cr has a change in oxidation number of - 3.
Answer:
Explanation:
Ok so an atom is each ball. So in the first one there are 5 balls. In the second one there are 4 and so on. A molecule contains more than two balls. So they are all molecules. For the counting reactants and products, count how many balls are to the left of the arrow which is your number of reactants and count the balls to the right to find the number of product atoms.
Cholesterol is an example of a lipid.
Oxidation state of Pb in PbO2 is +4.
Oxidation state of Pb in PbCl2 is +2.
Oxidation state of Pb in Pb2O is +1.
Oxidation state of Pb in Pb4O3 is +6/4.
Hence option A. PbO2 is correct.
Hope this helps, have a nice day!
