The three pairs of metal same-size spheres have different charges on their surfaces, as indicated. Each pair is brought together, allowed to touch, and then separated. Rank from greatest to least the total amount of charge on the pairs of spheres after separation.
A) +6 +2
B) +6 -2
C) +6 0

A≥C>B

Explanation:

The total charge on the spheres depends on the pair attached. considering pair (A), the pair of +6 and +2 will produce a net charge +8 on pair A. Pair (B) has one positive and negative sphere of + 6 charge and other having -2 charge when brought near the net charge becomes +4. Pair C has a sphere having +6 charge and other is neutral i.e 0 charge when brought near the net charge on the pair becomes +6. In terms of ranking, pair A is the highest while pair B is the lowest.

  the grams     of oxygen gas   that can be produced     is 20.6   grams of o₂

calculation

2liclo₃ →   2 licl + 3 o₂

step 1:   find the moles of liclo₃

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of liclo₃ =6.9 +35.5   +(16 x3) =90.4 g/mol

moles=38.7 g÷90.4 g/mol=0.4281   moles

step 2:   use the   mole ratio   to calculate the moles of o2

from equation above, liclo₃: o₂   is 2: 3  

therefore the moles of   o₂=0.4281 moles x3/2 =0.6422   moles

step 3: find mass   of o₂

mass= moles x molar mass

from periodic table the   molar mass of   o₂ = 16 x2= 32 g/mol

mass=0.6422   moles   x   32 g/mol = 20.6 grams of o₂
