Answer:
a. x = + 2
b. x = + 3
c. x = + 2
d. x = + 3
Explanation:
The oxidation number is a formal charge assigned to an atom present in a molecule or formula unit or ion based on some arbitrary rules.
a.
<u>Hg</u>O
The oxidation number of Hg in HgO is:
x + (-2) = 0
x = +2
b.
<u>Al₄</u>C₃
The oxidation number of Al in Al<u>₄</u>C₃ is:
4x +(3 × -4) = 0
4x - 12 = 0
4x = +12
x = 12/4
x = +3
c. CrF₂
x + ( 2 × - 1) = 0
x - 2 = 0
x = + 2
d. Fe₂S₃
2x + ( 3 × - 2) = 0
2x + (-6) = 0
2x = 6
x = 6/2
x = +3
The atom is krypton and its symbol is Kr.
the mass number is 41 + 36 = 77
its charge is 0 as it is a noble gas.
<h2>Phenocrysts and Porphyritic texture
</h2>
Explanation:
- The early formed crystals are of phenocrysts and the texture of these crystals is porphyritic texture.
- This crystallization occurs when early-forming plagioclase crystals which are rich in calcium start coating with plagioclase crystals which are rich in sodium.
- On cooling, the magma is then processed in a volcanic eruption, after the eruption the liquid which is left behind will start cooling and forms a porphyritic texture.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
A gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume gases have lower density than other states of matter such as solids and liquids.
Answer:
the unknown substance is a protein
Explanation:
The biuret test is one of the tests for proteins. It can be used to detect peptide linkages. The biuret test is carried out in an alkaline solution. A coordination complex is formed leading to the appearance of a violet color.
Summarily, the biuret method is a colorimetric technique used to test for proteins and peptides. It involves the formation of a purple (violet) complex of Copper salts in alkaline solution.
Hence when the biuret reagent is added to an unknown substance and it turns purple, the unknown substance is a protein
