Taking into account the definition of oxidation number, the oxidation numbers of S in H₂SO₃ is 4.

<h3>Definition of oxidation number</h3>

The oxidation number is the charge that an atom has; is an integer that represents the number of electrons an atom puts into play when it forms a given compound.

In other words, the oxidation number of an element is a value that indicates the number of electrons that element gains or loses when it combines with another.

<h3>Oxidation number determination</h3>

To determine the oxidation state of different elements it is necessary to know that:

  • The oxidation number of hydrogen in a compound is +1, except in metal hydrides, where is –1.
  • The oxidation number of oxygen in a compound is –2, except in peroxides, where it is –1.

On the other side, the sum of the oxidation numbers of the existing elements in a chemical formula must add up to zero.

Then, considering the oxidation numbers of each element, multiplying it by the number of existing elements in the chemical formula and adding it and equaling it to zero, the value of the missing oxidation number can be obtained.

<h3>Oxidation numbers of S</h3>

In this case, the oxidation numbers of S in H₂SO₃ is calculated as:

2× (+1) + oxidation numbers of S + 3×(-2)= 0

2 + oxidation numbers of S -6= 0

oxidation numbers of S -4= 0

<u><em>oxidation numbers of S= 4</em></u>

Finally, the oxidation numbers of S in H₂SO₃ is 4.

\tt \: \huge {\pink{\underline{\overline{\colorbox{cyan}{Answer}}}}}

\tt \bf Explanation:

We start of by giving the oxidation number for hydrogen and oxygen, since we know these already.

So we have 2 hydrogen which each has a charge of +1 , and we have 3 oxygen which each has a charge of -2 If we cancel these out we would have that sulfur should have a charge of +4 to give a total charge of 0

A 4.7-L sealed bottle containing 0.33 g of liquid ethanol,C₂H₆O, is placed in a refrigerator and reaches equilibrium with its va
Mama L [17]

The mass of ethanol present in the vapor is 8.8×10⁻²g. when liquid and vapor ethanol at equilibrium.

The volume of the bottle = 4.7 L

Mass of ethanol = 0.33 g

Temperature (T1) = -11 oC = 273-11 = 262 K

P1 = 6.65 torr

Now we will calculate the mole by applying the ideal gas equation:-

PV = nRT

Or, n = PV/RT

Where P is the pressure

 T is the temperature

 R is the gas constant = 0.0821 L atm mol-1K-1

 V is the volume

Substituting the values of P, V, T, and R the mole of ethanol is calculated as:-

  = 0.001913 mol C2H6

Conversion of the mole to gm

Molar mass of ethanol (M) = 46.07 g/mol

Mass of C2H6O =0.001913 mol C2H6O 46.07 g/mol = 0.088 =  8.8×10⁻²g.

Hence, the mass of ethanol present in the vapor is found to be  8.8×10⁻²g.

What volume of a 0.33-M C12H22O11 solution can be diluted to prepare 25 mL of a solution with a concentration of 0.025 M?
Vsevolod [243]

The dilution formula can be used to find the volume needed

c1v1 = c2v2

Where c1 is concentration and v1 is volume of the concentrated solution

And c2 is concentration and v2 is volume of the diluted solution to be prepared

c1 - 0.33 M

c2 - 0.025 M

v2 - 25 mL

Substituting these values in the equation

0.33 M x v1 = 0.025 M x 25 mL

v1 = 1.89 mL

Therefore 1.89 mL of the 0.33 M solution needs to be diluted up to 25 mL to make a 0.025 M solution
