What is the oxidation number of chromium in K2CrO4?

A.

+1

B.

+2

C.

+4

D.

+6

Correct answer is D

K2CrO4 (O.N of K) X 2 + O.N of Cr + (O.N of oxygen) X 4 = 0
1 X 2 + X + -2 X 4 = 0
2 + x + -8 = 0
2 + x - 8 = 0
x = 8 - 2 = + 6

What process is illustrated below? S(s) ⇌H2O⇌ S (aq)

A.

Decomposition of a solid

B.

Melting of a solid

C.

Formation of saturated solution of a solid

D.

Sublimation of a solid

Correct answer is C

From the  given equation:
\(S_{(s)} ⇌ S_{(aq)}\) (in the presence of (\(H_2O\))
The solid form has changed to an aqueous solution upon dissolution in water. Due to the presence of the reversible reaction arrow ⇌, the solution (aqueous) formed is saturated, this is because a saturated solution is an equilibrium system
