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

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.

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; i believe that the correct answer is (a) potassium(k)

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
