Step 1:
Write molecular Formula,
Na₅P₃O₁₀
Step 2:
Assign Oxidation number to Na (which is +1) and O (which is -2), and X (unknown) for P.
(+1)₅ + (X)₃ + (-2)₁₀ = 0
Zero means overall charge on molecule is zero (Neutral).
Step 3:
Now solve for X,
(+5) + (X ÷ 3) + (-20) = 0
X ÷ 3 = -5 + 20
X ÷ 3 = +15
X = +15 ÷ 3
X = +5
Result:
Oxidation number of P is +5.
Answer:
D. A north pole and south pole attract each other
Answer:
The dissociation equations for NaBr gives Na+ and Br-
The dissociation equations for ZnCl2 gives Zn2+ and 2 Cl-
Explanation:
The following pictures shows that the dissociation of one particle of NaBr produces one particle of Na+ (sodium cation) and one particle of Br- (bromine anion).
The dissociation of one particle of ZnCl2 produces one particle of Zn+2 (Zinc cation) and two particles of Cl- (chlorine anion).
The sum is 34.688 m.
If m is a variable, then the m would be attached to 34.688.
