N(-3)
N(+1)
P(+5)
O(-2)

-3*3+(+1)*12+(+5)+(-2)*4=-9+12+5-8 =0 -the sum of oxidation number in the molecule should be equal zero.

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

In a salt, we must take into account that the sum of the oxidation numbers is equal to zero since the molecule is stable.

In this case the molecule is a salt and is (NH4) 3PO4

N = -3

H = + 1 (there are four atoms in total is +4)

(NH4) 3 = (- 3 + 4) * 3 = + 3

P = + 5

O = -2 (since there are 4 atoms in total it is -8)

PO4 = + 5-8 = -3

The total is: -3 + 3 = 0

We verify that the charges give a total of zero, so that our calculation is well done.

Answer:

a measure of concentration equal to the gram equivalent weight per liter of solution.

Explanation:

Gram equivalent weight is the measure of the reactive capacity of a molecule. The solute's role in the reaction determines the solution's normality. Normality is also known as the equivalent concentration of a solution.

What effect does the anion of an ionic compound have on the appearance of the solution?
choli [55]

Answer: B. The anion affects the color of the solution more than the intensity of the color.

Explanation:

An ionic bond is gotten when an electron is transferred from a metal atom to a non-metal one. It should be noted that the ionic bonds simply has an anion and a cation.

An anion is formed when a valence election is gained by a non metal while a cation is formed when the metal ion misplaces a valence electron.

The effect of the anion of an ionic compound on the appearance of the solution is that the anion affects the color of the solution more than the intensity of the color.
