Options are as follow,

A. P₄O₁₀
B. PCl₅
C. Ca₃(PO₄)₂
<span>D. KH</span>₂PO₃

Answer;
            The correct option is Option-D (KH₂PO₃).

Explanation:
                   Oxidation number of Phosphorous is calculated as,

As the normal oxidation number of K is +1, H is +1 and O is -2 so,

                                       KH₂PO₃  =  0

0 shows that the molecule is neutral. Now puttion values of all elemnts except P,
 
                                  (+1) + (+1)₂ + P + (-2)₃  =  0

                                  +1 + 2 + P - 6  =  0

                                  +3 + P - 6  =  0

                                  +3  + P  =  +6

                                  P  =  +6 - 3

                                  P  =  +3

How much heat is absorbed/released when 20.00 g of NH3(g) reacts in the presence of excess O2 (g) to produce NO (g) and H2O (l)
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

a. 342.9 kJ of heat are absorbed.

Explanation:

Calculation of the moles of NH_3 as:-

Mass = 20.00 g

Molar mass of NH_3 = 17.031 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{20.00\ g}{17.031\ g/mol}

Moles= 1.1743\ mol

Given that:- \Delta H=+1168\ kJ

It means that 1 mole of NH_3 undergoes reaction and absorbs 1168\ kJ of heat

So,

1168 mole of NH_3 undergoes reaction and absorbs 1168\times 1168\ kJ of heat

<u>Amount of heat absorbed = + 342.9 KJ</u>
