What is the oxidation number for S in the compound SO3? (Recall that O has an oxidation number of –2.) A. 0

Chemistry

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf +6}}

Explanation:

A compound must have a net charge of 0. The charges have to balance each other out and equal 0.

We have the compound sulfur trioxide with a chemical formula of SO₃.

Oxygen (O) has an oxidation state of -2, which means it will have a charge of -2 in the compound. However, note there is a subscript after the O in the chemical formula. Therefore, there are 3 oxygen atoms in the compound and each one has a charge of -2. The oxygen has an overall charge of -6 because 3*-2 = -6.

There is only one atom of sulfur (there is no subscript, so a 1 is implied). It has to balance out the -6 charge of the oxygen atoms, so it must be +6.

The oxidation number for sulfur is +6 in the compound sulfur trioxide.

How many electrons are present in the nonbonding π molecular orbital of the allyl anion? a. 2 b. 1 c. 3 d. 0
Nostrana [21]

The number of electrons, which are present in the nonbonding π molecular orbital of the allyl anion is "0".

Anions, cations, but also allylic radicals have always been frequently mentioned as reaction intermediates. Each one has three adjacent sp^{2}-hybridized carbon centers, and they all rely on resonance for stability. Two resonance structures would be used to present each species, with the charge as well as unpaired electron scattered across both the 1,3 and 0 positions.

The Aufbau principle states that these orbitals would fill up based on the order of stability, therefore a typical pi bond, will have 2 electrons in the Pi orbital as well as zero in the Pi* orbital.

Therefore, the correct answer will be option (d)

Determining Density and Using Density to Determine Volume or Mass
Shalnov [3]

corrected question:

Determining Density and Using Density to Determine Volume or Mass

(a) Calculate the density of mercury if 1.00 × 10 g occupies a volume of 7.36 cm³

(b) Calculate the volume of 65.0 g of liquid methanol (wood alcohol) if its density is 0.791 g/mL.

(c) What is the mass in grams of a cube of gold (density = 19.32 g/cm) if the length of the cube is 2.00 cm?

(d) Calculate the density of a 374.5-g sample of copper if it has a volume of 41.8 cm³ A student needs 15.0 g of ethanol for an experiment. If the density of ethanol is 0.789 g/mL, how many milliliters of ethanol are needed? What is the mass, in grams, of 25.0 mL of mercury (density = 13.6 g/mL)?

Answer:

density = \frac{mass}{volume}

ρ=m/v ,m=ρv,    v=m/ρ

(a)m=1*10g  , v=7.36cm³

    ρ=10/7.36 =1.36g/cm³

(b) m=65g, ρ=0.791 g/mL.

   v= 65/0.791 =82.17g/mL

(c) ρ=19.32g/cm³, l=2cm, v=l³=8cm³

    m=19..32*8=154.56g/cm³

(d) mass of copper=374.5g , v=41.8cm³

   ρ=374.5/41.8 =8.96g/cm³

 mass of ethanol=15g,  density of ethanol=0.789g/mL

v=15/0.789 =19.01mL

volume of mecury=25mL, density of mercury=13.6g/mL

m=25*13.6=340g

Percent Composition and Determining Empirical And Molecular Formulas
raketka [301]

Answer:

% comp. H = 2.8%, % comp. Cl = 97.2%

Explanation:

HCl mass = mass of H + mass of Cl

HCL mass = 1.00794 + 35.453 = 36.46094

% comp. of H = 1.007694 / 36.46094 x 100 = around 2.8% (2.76376308455)

% comp. of Cl = 35.453 / 36.46094 x 100 = around 97.2% (97.2355622208)
