Explanation:

Sulfuric acid also known as H_{2}SO_{4} contains two hydrogen atoms, one sulfur atom and four oxygen atoms.

And it is given that the formal charge on a sulfuric acid molecule is zero. So, sulfur atom is bonded with two oxygen atoms through a double bond on each oxygen atom. The sulfur is also attached to another two oxygen atoms through a single bond for each oxygen atom.

Further, the each oxygen with single bond is attached to one hydrogen atom each.

If we are to draw the sulfuric acid structure based on Lewis it would look like:

                       O

                      ll

                O = S – O –H

                       l

                      O

                       l

                       H

 

So from this, we can see that there are 2 double bonds (O = S) and 4 single bonds (S – O and O – H).

 

Therefore the answer is:

4 single, 2 double

Students asked to measure the temperature of a reaction beaker recorded the following temperatures. 103.7°C, 108.4°C, 105.8°C, 1
Nata [24]

There are two terms

a) accuracy : it relates to the exactness of an answer that how an answer is close to the actual answer or actual reading

So 104.6 is accurate

b) Precision : This is related to the closeness of different readings with each other

The first reading is 103.7 and the second one is 108.4  so the second reading is quite different from the first reading so it cannot be called as precised

Again 105.8 has good difference from the second reading hence again this is not precised

However the last reading 104.6 is quite near to 105.8 so 104.6 can be called as precise

In the following reaction, which component acts as an oxidizing agent? 10 I− (aq) + 2 MnO4− (aq) + 16 H+ (aq) → 5 I2 (s) + 2 Mn2
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The oxidizing agent is the MnO₄⁻

Explanation:

This is the redox reaction:

10 I⁻ (aq) + 2 MnO₄⁻ (aq) + 16 H⁺ (aq) → 5 I₂ (s) + 2 Mn²⁺ (aq) + 8 H2O (l)

Let's determine the oxidation and the reduction.

I⁻ acts with -1 in oxidation state and changes to 0, at I₂.

All elements in ground state has 0 as oxidation state.

As the oxidation state has increased, this is the oxidation, so the iodide is the reducing agent.

In the permanganate (MnO₄⁻), Mn acts with +7 in oxidation state and decreased to Mn²⁺. As the oxidation state is lower, we talk about the reduction. Therefore, the permanganate is the oxidizing agent because it oxidizes iodide to iodine
