(a)
Interpretation:
The term Stock system and its advantages over the older system of naming cations has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Stock system is used in naming of cations, which gives the oxidation state of cation in Roman numerals enclosed by within parentheses.
The advantage over the older system is that, Stock system naming gives the oxidation state of cation directly whereas in older system, oxidation state has to be predicted from the suffixes used in naming of cation.

- "Water gas" is an industrial fuel composed of a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases. When this fuel is burned, carbon dioxide and water result. From the information given below, write a balanced equation and determine the enthalpy of this reaction: CO(g) + O2(g) → CO₂(g) + 282.8 kJ H2(g) + O2(g) → H₂O(g) + 241.8 kJ MacBook Airarrow_forwardPage of 3 4. Calculate AG for the following reaction at 25°C. Will the reaction occur (be spontaneous)? How do you know? NH3(g) + HCl(g) → NH4Cl(s) AH=-176.0 kJ AS-284.8 J-K-1arrow_forwardtrue or false The equilibrium constant for this reaction is 0.20. N2O4(g) ⇔ 2NO2(g) Based on the above, the equilibrium constant for the following reaction is 5. 4NO2(g) ⇔ 2N2O4(g)arrow_forward
