If phosphorous has 5 valence electrons, how many does sulfur have?

Chemistry
1 answer:
VARVARA [1.3K]1 year ago
5 0

Answer:

6

Explanation:

The atomic number for phosphorous is 15, meaning that it has 15 electrons (and protons). The first and second shells would be filled up with 2 and 8 electrons respectively, leaving 5 which goes on the third shell, which is also the valence shell, meaning phosphorous has 5 valence electrons.

Since the atomic number of sulfur is 16, the first and second shells are also filled up with 2 and 8 electrons respectively, leaving 6 to be on the third shell, the valence shell. Hence, sulfur has 6 valence electrons.

What is the energy conversion that occurs in cellular respiration?
fomenos
Cellular respiration is the process by which the chemicalenergy of "food" molecules is released and partially captured in the form of ATP. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used as fuels in cellular respiration, but glucose is most commonly used as an example to examine the reactions and pathways involved.

In the titration of HCl with NaOH, the equivalence point is determined
kondaur [170]

Answer:

In the titration of HCl with NaOH, the equivalence point is determined from the point where the phenolphthalein turns pink and then remains pink on swirling.

Explanation:

The equivalence point is the point at which exactly enough titrant (NaOH) has been added to react with all of the analyte (HCl). Up to the equivalence point, the solution will be acidic because excess HCl remains in the flask.

Phenolphtalein is chosen because it changes color in a pH range between 8.3 – 10. Phenolphthalein is naturally colorless but turns pink in alkaline solutions. It remains colorless throughout the range of acidic pH levels, but it begins to turn pink at a pH level of 8.3 and continues to a bright purple in stronger alkalines.

It will appear pink in basic solutions and clear in acidic solutions.

The more NaOH added, the more pink it will be. (Until pH≈ 10)

In strongly basic solutions, phenolphthalein is converted to its In(OH)3− form, and its pink color undergoes a rather slow fading reaction and becomes completely colorless above 13.0 pH

a. from the point where the pink phenolphthalein turns colorless and then remains colorless on swirling.

⇒ the more colorless it turns, the more acid the solution. (More HCl than NaOH)

b. from the point where the phenolphthalein turns pink and then remains pink on swirling.

The equivalence point is the point where phenolphtalein turns pink and remains pink ( Between ph 8.3 and 10). (

Although, when there is hydrogen ions are in excess, the solution remains colorless. This begins slowely after ph= 10 and can be noticed around ph = 12-13

c. from the point where the pink phenolphthalein first turns colorless and then the pink reappears on swirling.

Phenolphthalein is colorless in acid solutions (HCl), and will only turn pink when adding a base like NaOH

d. from the point where the colorless phenolphthalein first turns pink and then disappears on swirling

Phenolphthalein is colorless in acid or neutral solutions. Once adding NaOH, the solution will turn pink. The point where the solution turns pink, and stays pink after swirling is called the equivalence point. When the pink color disappears on swirling, it means it's close to the equivalence point but not yet.

Please help me I will do anything can you please show your work
oee [108]

Answer:

(1) 720 seconds (2) 10800 seconds (3) 17 dozens (4) 1.45 x 10^{25} (5) 13.29 moles

Explanation:

(1) 720 seconds

1 minute = 60 seconds

12 minutes = 720 seconds   (12 x 60)

(2) 10800 seconds

1 hour = 60 minutes  1 minute = 60 seconds

3 x 60 = 180 minutes in 3 hours

180 x 60 = 10800 seconds in 180 minutes that are in 3 hours

(3) 17 dozens

1 dozen = 12

204 ÷ 12 = 17 dozens  

(4) 1.45 x 10^{25}

8.00 moles CO2 x \frac{3 moles atoms}{1 moles CO2} = 24.0 moles atoms

24.0 moles x \frac{6.022 × 10^{23}  }{1 mole} } = 1.45 x 10^{25}

(5) 13.29 moles

sorry but I'm not fully sure if this one is correct

8 x 10^{24} x \frac{1 mole}{6.02 × 10^{23} } = 13.29 moles

What causes convection currents in a gas or liquid?​
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Convection currents are caused by a temperature difference in gases and liquids. As one area becomes warmer than another the molecules have more energy and start vibrating more vigorously thus spreading out and becoming less dense. This means that the less dense parts will become more buoyant causing them to rise.
