Answer:

b) +2 and +3.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the molecular formulas:

$XO$

And:

$X_2O_3$

We can relate the subscripts with the oxidation states by knowing that they are crossed when the compound is formed, for that reason, we notice that oxygen oxidation state should be -2 for both cases and the oxidation state of X in the first formula must be +2 since both X and O has one as their subscript as they were simplified:

$X^{+2}O^{-2}$

Moreover, for the second case the oxidation state of X should be +3 in order to obtain 3 as the subscript of oxygen:

$X_2^{+3}O_3^{-2}$

Thus, answer is b)+2 and +3

Best regards.

Given the following unbalanced chemical reaction: As + NaOH Na3AsO3 + H2 What would be the coefficient of the NaOH molecule in t

barxatty [35]

Answer: -

Explanation: -

The given unbalanced chemical equation is As + NaOH -- > Na3AsO3 + H2

We see there 3 sodium on the right side from Na3AsO3.

But there are only 1 sodium on the left from NaOH.

So we multiply NaOH by 3.

As + 3 NaOH -- > Na3AsO3 + H2

Now we see the number of Hydrogen on the left is 3.

But the number of hydrogens is 2 on the left.

So, we multiply to get both sides 6 hydrogen.

As + 6NaOH -- > Na3AsO3 + 3 H2

Rebalancing for Na,

As + 6NaOH -- > 2Na3AsO3 + 3 H2.

Finally balancing As,

2 As + 6 NaOH -- > 2Na3AsO3 + 3H2

The coefficient of the NaOH molecule in the balanced reaction is thus 6

Andre, a physics undergraduate, enters a coffee shop that is holding a contest. Customers who guess the number of coffee beans i

Answer: 8 coffee beans

Explanation: this calculation can only be achieved if you are good

With your conversation table.

16fl oz is the same as 16 US fluid ounce. The question is to determine how many centimeter can be equall to 16fl oz.

Stage 1:

Convert 16 US fluid to milliliter

1 US fluid = 29.574mililiter.

Therefore (16fl oz × 29.574ml)÷ 1fl oz= 473.184ml

Stage 2:

Convert milliliter to cubic centimeter

1 milliliter = 1 cubic centimeter

Therefore 473.184ml= 473.184cc

Stage 3:

Convert cubic centimeter to centimeter

1 Cubic centimeter is the volume 1 centimeter of a length side occupies

Volume= the length of the three sides of a shape.

Therefore

Volume= lenght^3

Making length the subject of the formula it becomes

Length =Cube root of volume

Length= 3√volume

Therefore

Length = 3√473.184= 7.793cm

Approximately 8cm

This means the mug is 8cm in length

Stage 4:

Since Andre assumption is that coffee Bean is about 1cm and from the calculation the mug is 8cm, which means about eight coffee Beans will fill the flask.

Andre should submit 8 coffee beans

A flask contains 1/3 mole of h2 and 2/3 mol of he. Compare the force on the wall per impact of h2 relative to that for he.

densk [106]

The force on the wall is actually the pressure exerted by gas molecules

Higher the pressure more the force exerted on the walls of container

The pressure depends upon the number of molecules of a gas

In a mixture of gas the pressure depends upon the mole fraction of the gas

As given the mole fraction of He is more than that of H2 therefore He will exert more pressure on the wall

The ratio of impact will be

H2 / He = 2/3 / 1/3 = 2: 1

In this experiment, 0.170 g of caffeine is dissolved in 10.0 ml of water. the caffeine is extracted from the aqueous solution th

zmey [24]

solution:

Weight of caffeine is W = 0.170 gm.

Volume of water is V= 10 ml

Volume of methylene chloride which extracted caffeine is v= 5ml

No of portions n=3

Distribution co-efficient= 4.6

Total amount of caffeine that can be unextracted is given by

$w_{n}=w\times[\frac{k_{Dx}v}{k_{Dx}v+v}]^n\\w_{3}=0.170[\frac{4.6\times10}{(4.6\times10+5)}]^3\\=0.170[\frac{46}{46+5}]^3\\=0.170[\frac{46}{51}]^3\\=0.170[\frac{97336}{132651}]\\=0.170\times0.734=0.125gms$

amount of caffeine un extracted is 0.125gms

amount of caffeine extracted=0.170-0.125

=0.045 gms
