When oxygen is found is peroxide, it has an oxidation number of -1.
The chemical formula of hydrogen peroxide is H2O2. We know that hydrogen always has +1 oxidation state until it forms metal hydrides. So in H2O2, the oxidation state ofhydrogen is +1.
Now, let oxidation state of oxygen be x. So,
2 * (+1) + 2*x = 0
2 + 2x = 0
2x = -2
x = -2 / 2
x = -1
Hence, the oxidation number of oxygen in peroxides is -1
Remember that a conjugate acid-base pair will differ only by one proton.
None of the options you listed are conjugate acid-base pairs as none of them differ only by one proton (or H⁺)
An example of a conjugate acid-base pair would be NH₃ and NH₄⁺NH₃ + H₂O --> NH₄⁺ + OH⁻NH3 is the base, and NH₄⁺ is the conjugate acid
Dipyrithione is a chemical with formula, C₁₀H₈N₂O₂S₂. This means that each molecule of the substance has two (2) atoms of nitrogen. By using the dimensional analysis and Avogadro's number, equal to 6.022 x 10²³, we calculate for the answer as shown below.
n = (8.2 x 10²⁴ atoms N)(1 molecule dipyrithione/ 2 atoms of N)(1 mole dipyrithione/ 6.022 x 10²³ molecules dipyrithione)
Simplifying,
n = 6.8 moles dipyrithione
<em>ANSWER: 6.8 moles</em>
