Chromium(III) sulfate is a transition metal compound containing the metal chromium and the polyatomic ion sulfate.The oxidation state of chromium in this compound is
, and the chemical formula of the compound is

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) oxidation number of chromium is +3

b) formula of the compound is Cr2(SO4)3

Explanation:

From the name of the compound, we can see that the oxidation state of chromium is +3

We know the sulphate ion to to be SO4^2-

According to the rules of writing the formula of compounds from valencies, the valency of chromium is 3 while that is the sulphate ion is 2.

The both species can now exchange valency

Cr2(SO4)3------- This is the correct formula of the compound

Answer 2

Answer:

The oxidation state is +3.

chemical formula of compound is Cr₂(SO₄)₃.

Explanation:

Calculation of oxidation state:

Cr₂(SO₄)₃

Cr= ?

The oxidation state of SO₄ = -2

2x + 3( -2) = 0

2x - 6 = 0

2x = 6

x = 6/2

x= 3

The oxidation state of Cr is +3.

The Cr has valency of 3 so three SO₄ will require while the valency of SO₄ is 2 so two Cr will require.

Cr×2 and SO₄×3

Cr₂(SO₄)₃

we know that oxidation state of Cr is +3 so (3×2) = 6

and the oxidation state of SO₄ is -2 so (-2× 3) = -6

6-6= 0

The overall charge is 0, the compound will be neutral.

What is the mass of 4.38 x 10^24 formula units of sodium chloride (NaCl)?

Answers

Answer:

Mass = 427.05 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Formula units of sodium chloride = 4.38 ×10²⁴

Mass of NaCl = ?

Solution:

One mole contain formula units = 6.022 ×10²³

4.38×10²⁴ formula units × 1mol /6.022 ×10²³ formula units

0.73 ×10¹ mol

7.3 mol

Mass of NaCl:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 7.3 mol × 58.5 g/mol

Mass = 427.05 g

Which organic molecule is digested into simple sugar?

Answers

Whilst inorganic molecules, such as the mineral calcium, are broken down into smaller molecules, they aren't broken down into simpler structures, because they are already in their simplest form.

Large organic molecules such as starch need to be broken down into simpler forms - maltose and glucose respectively via digestion. Other organic larger molecules are broken down into simpler forms like protein to amino acids and lipids to fatty acids and glycerol etc.

Glucose is one of several simple sugars (monosaccharides).

Biological catalysts are what help to break down these large molecules (polymers) to simpler ones (monomers), they are called enzymes.
