Explanation:
Some Rules Regarding Oxidation Numbers:
- Hydrogen has oxidation number of + 1 except in hydrides where it is -1
- Oxygen has oxidation number of -2 except in peroxides where it is -1
- Some elements have fixed oxidation numbers. E.g Halogen group elements has oxidation number of -1
- Oxidation number of a compound is the sum total of the individual elements and a neutral compound has oxidation number of 0.
A. HI
Hydrogen has oxidation of + 1
Oxidation number of I:
1 + x = 0
x = -1
B. PBr3
Br has oxidation number of - 1
Oxidation number of Pb:
x + 3 (-1) = 0
x = + 3
C. KH
Hydrogen has oxidation of + 1
Oxidation number of K:
1 + x = 0
x = -1
D. H3PO4
Hydrogen has oxidation number of + 1
Oxygen has oxidation number of -2
Oxidation number of P:
3(1) + x + 4(-2) = 0
3 + x - 8 =0
x = 5
I believe it would be A. Equal out in both directions.
Answer:
Explanation:
Decomposition is the answer.
If a compound breaks into two or more parts then it is called decomposition.
Answer:
Either direction
Explanation:
If you cook food it would go from cold to hot. If you were to put a drink in the fridge it would go from hot to cold. So it is either direction.
