Phosphorus has an electron configuration of [Ne} 3s2 3p3. Phosphorus has 9 electrons in the p orbital.
alekssr [168]3 years ago

Answer:

9 p-electrons

Explanation:

Phosphorus is a reactive chemical element that belongs to the group 15 and period 3 of the periodic table. It is a p-block element having atomic number 15.

The <u>electronic configuration of phosphorus in the ground state </u>is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p³.

Since, <u>6 electrons are present in the 2p subshell and 3 electrons are present in the 3p subshell.</u>

<u>Therefore, there are total </u><u>9 p-electrons</u><u> in a phosphorus atom present in its ground state.</u>

In the reaction 2H2O (1)+ 2Cl^- (aq)= H2(g)+Cl2 (g)+ 2OH^-(aq), which substance is reduced?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:- C. H

Explanations:- Reduction is gain of electron. In other words we could say that decrease in oxidation number is reduction.

As per the rules, oxidation number of hydrogen in its compounds is +1(except metal hydrides) and the oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2.

The oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

In H_2O , the oxidation number of H is +1 and oxidation number of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in Cl^- is -1. On product side, the oxidation number of hydrogen in H_2 is zero and in OH^- the oxidation number of H is +1 and that of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in Cl_2 is 0.

From above data, Oxidation number of O is -2 on both sides so it is not reduced.

Oxidation number of Cl is changing from -1 to 0 which is oxidation.

Oxidation number of H is changing from +1 to 0 which is reduction.

So, the right choice is C.H

If the dehydration reaction of an alcohol is successful. What changes would be seen in the ir spectrum for the product compared
Bess [88]

If the dehydration reaction of an alcohol is successful. The changes would be seen in the IR spectrum for the product compared to the starting material are as,

  • The O-H and  C-O  band is disappear from stating material
  • The addition of a C-C double bond band in the product.

In dehydration reaction of alcohol (  O-H and  C-O bond ) contain , the water molecule ( H_{2}O ) is release from the reactant and C-C double bond is form which is known as alkene in the product .

The reactant and product have different structure. To determine the structure of the compound IR spectroscopy is used. In IR spectrum the peak corresponds to 3400-3600 cm is missing in the product of  dehydration reaction of an alcohol. It means  O-H band is disappear from stating material.

Given the reaction: S + O2 ---&gt; SO2
saul85 [17]

Answer: 67.1 moles of SO2

Explanation:

Since the equation is already balanced, you would just need to cancel out the O2 and multiple the 67.1 mol by the 1 mol of SO2 to get your answer.
