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

People who work with radioactive materials often wear a film badge to reveal how much radiation they have been exposed to. The film badge dosimeter or the film badge is a dosimeter worn by these people working with materials that are radioactive for the purpose of monitoring cumulative radiation dose due to ionizing radiation. The badge has two parts; the photographic film, and a holder.

Toluene (C6H5CH3 ), an organic compound often used as a solvent in paints, is mixed with a similar organic compound, benzene (C6
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

 Weight of solute = 75.8 g,   Molecular weight of solute (toulene) = 92.13 g/mol,    volume = 200 ml

  • Therefore, molarity of toulene is calculated as follows.

      Molarity = \frac{\text{weight of solute}}{\text{molecular weight of solute}} \times \frac{1000}{\text{volume of solution in ml}}

                    = \frac{75.8 g}{92.13 g/mol} \times \frac{1000}{200 ml}

                    = 4.11 M

Hence, molarity of toulene is 4.11 M.

  • As molality is the number of moles of solute present in kg of solvent.

So, we will calculate the molality of toulene as follows.

   Molality = \frac{\text{given weight of solute}}{\text{given molecular weight of solute}} \times \frac{1000}{\text{weight of solvent in grams}}

             = \frac{75.8 g}{92.13 g/mol} \times \frac{1000}{95.6 g}

             = 8.6 m

Hence, molality of given toulene solution is 8.6 m.

  • Now, calculate the number of moles of toulene as follows.

       No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                             = \frac{75.8 g}{92.13 g/mol}

                             = 0.8227 mol

Now, no. of moles of benzene will be as follows.

     No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                             = \frac{95.6 g}{78.11 g/mol}

                             = 1.2239 mol

Hence, the mole fraction of toulene is as follows.

         Mole fraction = \frac{\text{moles of toulene}}{\text{total moles}}

                             = \frac{0.8227 mol}{(0.8227 + 1.2239) mol}

                             = 0.402

Hence, mole fraction of toulene is 0.402.

  • As density of given solution is 0.857 g/cm^{3} so, we will calculate the mass of solution as follows.

         Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

     0.857 g/cm^{3} = \frac{mass}{200 ml}      (As 1 cm^{3} = 1 g)

                      mass = 171.4 g

Therefore, calculate the mass percent of toulene as follows.

      Mass % = \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{mass of solution}} \times 100

                   = \frac{75.8 g}{171.4 g} \times 100

                   = 44.22%

Therefore, mass percent of toulene is 44.22%.

How many moles of iron are there in 55.85g of Fe3O4
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

• Molecular mass of Iron (III) tetraoxide

\dashrightarrow \: { \tt{(56 \times 3) + (16 \times 4)}} \\  = { \tt{168 + 64}} \\  = { \tt{232\:g}}

[ molar masses: Fe → 56, O → 16 ]

\dashrightarrow \:{ \rm{232 \: g \:  = 1 \: mole}} \\ \\   \dashrightarrow \: { \rm{55.85 \: g = ( \frac{55.85}{232}) \: moles }} \\  \\ \dashrightarrow \:  { \boxed{ \tt{ = 0.24 \: moles}}}
