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.

2.0 mol of gas occupy 44.8 l at a temperature of 0°c. what is the pressure of the gas
MArishka [77]

The pressure of the gas is 1.0 bar.

<em>pV</em> = <em>nRT</em>

<em>T</em> = (0 + 273.15) K = 273.15 K

<em>p</em> = (<em>nRT</em>)/<em>V</em> = (2.0 mol × 0.083 14 bar·L·K⁻¹mol⁻¹ × 273.15 K)/44.8 L = 1.0 bar
