Answer: The oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 is +6
Explanation:
SeO3 is the chemical formula for selenium trioxide.
- The oxidation state of SeO3 = 0 (since it is stable and with no charge)
- the oxidation number of oxygen (O) IN SeO3 is -2
- the oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 = Z (let unknown value be Z)
Hence, SeO3 = 0
Z + (-2 x 3) = 0
Z + (-6) = 0
Z - 6 = 0
Z = 0 + 6
Z = +6
Thus, the oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 is +6
As he began to teach inorganic chemistry, Mendeleev could not find a textbook that met his needs. Since he had already published a textbook on organic chemistry in 1861 that had been awarded the prestigious Demidov Prize, he set out to write another one. The result was Osnovy khimii (1868–71; The Principles of Chemistry), which became a classic, running through many editions and many translations. When Mendeleev began to compose the chapter on the halogen elements (chlorine and its analogs) at the end of the first volume, he compared the properties of this group of elements to those of the group of alkali metals such as sodium. Within these two groups of dissimilar elements, he discovered similarities in the progression of atomic weights, and he wondered if other groups of elements exhibited similar properties. After studying the alkaline earths, Mendeleev established that the order of atomic weights could be used not only to arrange the elements within each group but also to arrange the groups themselves. Thus, in his effort to make sense of the extensive knowledge that already existed of the chemical and physical properties of the chemical elements and their compounds, Mendeleev discovered the periodic law.
Given mass of KNO₃=346g
Molar mass of KNO₃=(39.098)+(14)+(15.99*3)=101.068gmol⁻¹
Volume of Solution=750ml=0.75dm³
Molarity=(mass of solute/molar mass of solute)*(1/volume of sol. in dm³)
=(346/101.068)*(1/0.75)
=4.56 mol dm⁻³
Answer: 
Explanation:
Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value or the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.
Rules for significant figures:
Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.
All non-zero numbers are always significant.
All zero’s between integers are always significant.
All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant.
All zero’s preceding the first integers are never significant.
Thus has three significant figures
When the amount of heat gained = the amount of heat loss
so, M*C*ΔTloses = M*C* ΔT gained
when here the water is gained heat as the Ti = 25°C and Tf= 28°C so it gains more heat.
∴( M * C * ΔT )W = (M*C*ΔT) Al
when Mw is the mass of water = 100 g
and C the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18
and ΔT the change in temperature for water= 28-25 = 3 ° C
and ΔT the change in temperature for Al = 100-28= 72°C
and M Al is the mass of Al block
C is the specific heat capacity of the block = 0.9
so by substitution:
100 g * 4.18*3 = M Al * 0.9*72
∴ the mass of Al block is = 100 g *4.18 / 0.9*72
= 19.35 g
