Answer:

                    Charge on Phosphate is -3 (PO₄³⁻)

Explanation:

                     Ions or polyatomic ions are formed when an atom or molecule loses or gains electron(s) respectively.

Example:

              Formation of ions.

                           Na  →  Na⁺  +  e⁻ (Na loses one electron)

                           Cl₂  +  2 e⁻  →  2 Cl⁻ (Cl gains electron)

In polyatomic ions a charge is present on a molecule which has either two or more atoms.

Example:

               CO₃²⁻ , SO₄⁻ , NH₄⁺ e.t.c.

In statement the  K₃PO₄ polyatomic ionic compound. It is made up of three K⁺ ions and one Phosphate ion (PO₄ˣ⁻) ion.

As we know K belongs to group 1 metals so it has one valence electron and thus, forms a cation of +1 charge. So, for a neutral polyatomic ionic compound the overall charge on K₃PO₄ should be zero. Hence,

                                         K (3) + PO₄ (X)  =  0

Or,

                                         +3 + X = 0

Or,

                                         X  =  0 - 3

                                         X  =  -3

Therefore, the charge on phosphate is -3.

Determine the possible traits of the calves if:
White raven [17]

Answer:

1. All red calves i.e. RR

2. All roan calves i.e RW

3. 2 red calves (RR) and two roan calves (RW)

Explanation:

According to this question, a gene coding for fur colour in cattle is involved. Red alleles (R) and white alleles (W) are co-dominant to produce a roan cattle (RW). The possible traits of the following crosses are (see attached punnet square):

1) A red bull (RR) is mated to a red (RR) cow: All red calves i.e. RR

2) A red (RR) bullis mated with white (WW) cow: All roan calves i.e RW

3) A roan bull (RW) is mated with red (RR) cow: 2 red calves (RR) and two roan calves (RW).

For the reaction H₂O(g) + Cl₂O(g) → 2HClO(g), you know ΔS°rxn and S° of HClO(g) and of H₂O(g). Write an expression that can be u
expeople1 [14]

The expression for  S°(Cl2O)(g) is given by ,

S°(Cl2O)(g) = 2×S°(HClO)(g) - S°(H2O)(g) - ΔS°rxn

Given ,

The balanced chemical equation is ,

H2O (g) + Cl2O (g) → 2HClO (g)

The general standard entropy of the reaction is given by ,

ΔS°rxn = sum of the S°(Product ) - sum of the S°(reactants )

ΔS°rxn = ΣmS°products  -  ΣnS°reactants

where , m and n are the stoichiometry coefficients of each product and reactants .

Thus , the standard entropy of the given reaction is given by ,

ΔS°rxn = 2×S° (HClO)(g)  - [ S°(H2O)(g) + S°(Cl2O)(g) ]

ΔS°rxn = 2×S° (HClO)(g) - S°(H2O)(g) - S°(Cl2O)(g)

Thus the S°(Cl2O) is given by ,

S°(Cl2O)(g) = 2×S°(HClO)(g) - S°(H2O)(g) - ΔS°rxn

Hence the expression for the standard entropy of Cl2O (g) is given by ,

S°(Cl2O)(g) = 2×S°(HClO)(g) - S°(H2O)(g) - ΔS°rxn

<h3>What is a balance chemical reaction ?</h3>

A balanced chemical reaction is a type of reaction which include the reactants and products in same amount i.e. the no of mole on both side of the reaction is remains same or balanced .
