Chemistry Questions

Silver nitrate is the basic substance from which silver bromide is obtained. The photographic films are impregnated with the light sensitive AgBr.

Gammaxene, D.D.T. & Bleaching powder are important compounds of Chlorine.

The main constituent of biogas is methane (55-70%), CO2 (30-45%) and some traces of gases such as H2S and ammonia.

Biogas is produced under anaerobic conditions; the process is denominated as anaerobic digestion.

Colored aqueous solutions are a characteristic of transition compounds.

The only transition compound in the above choices is CrCl3.

Cr is a transition element.

Here the given compound is MgSO4.

In the given compound, Sulphur (S) and Oxygen (O) are two non metals and Magnesium (Mg) is a metal.

In this compound, Sulphur and Oxygen reacts to form covalent bond and the metal Magnesium reacts with both non metals Sulphur and Oxygen to form ionic bonds.

Hence, in the given compound MgSO4 there are both covalent and ionic bonds.

CF4 is tetrahedral.

Since the four 'F' atoms have the same electronegativity values, there is no bias in electron distribution toward any one.

Therefore, electron/charge distribution is symmetrical, which also means that the molecule is nonpolar.

Hence, CF4 is nonpolar molecule with a symmetrical distribution of charge.

The given compound is NaHCO3 Sodium bicarbonate which is commonly known as Baking soda.

Oxidation numbers are the charges on ions. When a neutral atom loses electrons it becomes positively charged. When a neutral atom gains electrons it becomes negatively charged.

Here the C represents the oxidation state of carbon in this compound. Compounds are electrically neutral, which is why we set the sum of the oxidation states equal to zero.

Sodium has a +1 oxidation state. Hydrogen has a +1 oxidation state. Oxygen has a -2 oxidation state. There are three oxygen atoms, which means the total oxidation state provided by both oxygen ions is -6. Adding up these oxidation states we get:

1 + 1 + (-6) + C = 0

-4 + C = 0

=> C = 4

This means the oxidation state of carbon in this compound is +4.
