<h3>Answer:</h3>

             Rb  =  + 1

              S    =  + 4

              O   =  - 2

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                   Oxidation states of the elements were calculated keeping in mind the basic rules of assigning oxidation states which included assignment of +1 charge to first group elements i.e. Rubidium (Rb) and assignment of -2 charge to Oxygen atom. Then the oxidation state of Sulfur was calculated as follow,

Rb₂ + S + O₃  =  0

Above zero (0) means that the overall molecule is neutral.

Putting values of Rb and O,

                                           (+1)₂ + S + (-2)₃  =  0

                                           (+2) + S + (-6)  =  0

                                           +2 + S - 6  = 0

                                           S - 6  =  -2

                                          S  =  -2 + 6

                                           S  =  + 4

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

1.17 grams

Explanation:

Let's consider the balanced equation for the combustion of ethylene.

C₂H₄(g) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 CO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(l)

We can establish the following relations:

  • 1411 kJ are released (-1411 kJ) when 1 mole of C₂H₄ burns.
  • The molar mass of C₂H₄ is 28.05 g/mol.

The grams of C₂H₄ burned to give 59.0 kJ of heat (q = -59.0 kJ) is:

-59.0kJ.\frac{1molC_{2}H_{4}}{-1411kJ} .\frac{28.05gC_{2}H_{4}}{1molC_{2}H_{4}} =1.17gC_{2}H_{4}

Which statement best describes how an ionic bond forms?
maxonik [38]
<span>The question says,'which statement best describes how an ionic bond forms. The correct option is A. Ionic bonds are formed as a result of complete transfer of electrovalence electrons from one atom to another. The atom that donate the electron become a positively charged ion while the atom that received the atom become a negatively charged ion.</span>

<u>Answer:</u> The total pressure of the container will be 2.00 atm

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Initial moles of phosphorus pentachloride = 1.00 atm

For the given chemical reaction:

PCl_5\rightleftharpoons PCl_3+Cl_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of PCl_5 produces 1 mole of PCl_3 and 1 mole of chlorine gas

So, 1.00 atm of PCl_5 will also produce 1.00 atm of PCl_3 and 1.00 atm of chlorine gas when the reaction goes to completion.

Total pressure of the container when the reaction goes to completion  = 1.00 + 1.00 = 2.00 atm

Hence, the total pressure of the container will be 2.00 atm

It takes energy to ionize any atom. It takes progressively more and more energy for each successive electron that is removed and
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Removal of Third Electron

Explanation:

a major jump is required to remove the third electron. In general, successive ionization energies always increase because each subsequent electron is being pulled away from an increasingly more positive ion.

Ionization energy increases from bottom to top within a group, and increases from left to right within a period.

Gordon wrote this passage about mechanical waves for his physics class. But he got most of his facts mixed up. Only one sentence
Zinaida [17]

Answer: The correct answer is "Mechanical waves can apply pressure to and push on objects in their path".

Explanation:

Mechanical wave is wave in which there is an oscillation of the wave. The energy is transferred through a medium. Mechanical waves can apply pressure to and push on their path. Only the energy is transferred not the matter.

Mechanical waves are of three types: Transverse wave, Longitudinal wave and Surface wave. The examples of the mechanical wave are sound wave and water wave.

Sound is a pressure disturbance which travels through a medium. It consists of compression and rarefaction.

The mechanical waves need a medium for their propagation. They travel faster in denser medium.

Therefore, the correct option is (B).
