What is the stock system and how do you use it ?

Answer 1

stock system is also called as stock notation and it is method given by roman scientist to assign oxidation number to metals in a compound.

for eg if we have CuO then it is written as Copper(II)oxide

for Mn2O5 it is written as manganese(V)oxide

for V2O5 it is written as vanadium(V)oxide

for Fe2(SO4)3 it will be Iron(III) oxide

we need to calculate oxidation number in our usual way but here we write only for metal and that also in roman letters.

i hope this will help you out

Answer 2

The stock system uses English names and Roman Numerals to represent all the elements and their ions. It does away with the Traditional naming system like "ferrous and ferric" when putting the stock on the store room shelves. It is easier and quicker to use when stocking and removing the stock.

Ferrous becomes "Iron II"
Ferric becomes "Iron III"
Stannous becomes "Tin II"
Stannic becomes "Tin IV"

Answer 3

The Stock system uses Roman numerals to name inorganic compounds. It was named for inorganic chemistry professor Alfred E. Stock, who was at the University of Chicago at the end of his career. For example:

CuCl = cuprous chloride = copper(I) chloride
CuCl2 = cupric chloride = copper(II) chloride

Answer 4

I believe you just sign up to be a member and then every year you pile the cows and pigs that you want to sell into your livestock truck and take them down there and they get weighed and then they usually pay you by the pound, etc. That is how my grandfather did it. I think the largest center in the system is in Omaha, Nebraska, but they can be found all over the country. I hope this helps.
