What is the oxidation state of an individual phosphorus atom in po33−? express the oxidation state numerically (e.g., +1)?

1 answer:

5 0

First, consider the overall charge of the ion. This is -3.
We know that the overall charge is the sum of the charges of the constituent atoms. Moreover, oxygen exhibits a -2 charge usually. We will now use this information:

Sum of charges:

P + 3O = -3
P + 3(-2) = -3
P = +3

Therefore, phosphorus has a charge of +3 in the phosphate ion.

Explain why the production of a gas in this experiment is or is not different from the formation of water vapor in the heating c

den301095 [7]

The production of a gas is different because unlike the heating curve, there was no heat applied to this experiment, and the experiment was a chemical reaction.

<h3>What is a Heating curve?</h3>

This shows the relationship between the temperature of the heating system and the air temperature in the outer environment.

The chemical reaction emitted heat as against the other which involved heat application which is why water formation in this curve was different.

As the temperature of a gas sample increases, the number of molecules and volume remaining constant, the pressure exerted by the

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

A. increases

Explanation:

According to the Gay-Lussac's law:-

Thus, at constant volume and number of moles, Pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

P ∝ T

Also, it can be written as:-

$\frac {P_1}{T_1}=\frac {P_2}{T_2}$

Thus, if the temperature is increased, the pressure exerted by the gas also increases.
