Answer:

There are compounds that contain phosphorus-phosphorus bonds with uncommon oxidation states.

Explanation:

Phosphorus is a member of group 15 in the periodic table. Its common oxidation States are -3 and +5. Phosphorus is believed to firm some of its compounds by the participation of hybridized d-orbitals in bonding although this is also disputed by some scientists owing to the high energy of d - orbitals.

Phosphorus form compounds having phosphorus-phosphorus bonds in unusual oxidation states such as diphosphorus tetrahydride, H2P-PH2, and tetraphosphorus trisulfide, P4S hence the answer.

Balanced chemical reaction: 2K(s) + 2H₂O(l) → 2KOH(aq) + H₂(g).

KOH is inorganic compound p<span>otassium hydroxide, a strong base.
H</span>₂ is hydrogen gas.
In balanced chemical reaction number of atoms on both side of chemical reaction must be same. There are two potassium atoms, four hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms on both side of reaction.

juin [17]
0.15*240=36 ml of alcohol in <span>240 ml of a 15% alcohol mixture
0.4x = </span>ml of alcohol in x ml of a 40% alcohol mixture
0.2(x+240)= ml of alcohol in (x+240) ml of a 20% alcohol mixture

0.15*240 + 0.4x = 0.2(x+240)
36+0.4x=0.2x+48
0.2x = 12
x=12/0.2=120/6=20 ml  of a 40% alcohol mixture

A 2.35 g sample of an unknown gas at 55 ∘C and 1.05 atm is stored in a 1.85 L flask.
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Molar mass =  32.64 g / mol.

The density of gas is 1.3 × 10⁻³g/mL.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sample = 2.35 g

Pressure = 1.05 atm

Volume = 1.85 L    (1.85 × 1000 = 1850 ml)

Temperature = 55 °C    (55+ 273.15 = 328.15 K)

Density = ?

Formula:

d = m/ v

The volume of flask would be the volume of gas.

d = 2.35 g / 1850 mL = 0.0013 g/mL or 1.3 × 10⁻³g/mL

The density of gas is 1.3 × 10⁻³g/mL.

Molar mass:

Now we will calculate the moles of a gas first in order to find the molar mass of a gas.

Formula:

PV =nRT

n = number of moles.

n = PV / RT

n = 1.05 atm × 1.85 L / 0.0821 atm. dm³. K⁻¹ . mol⁻¹ × 328.15 K

n = 1.9425 atm . L / 26.941115 atm . dm.³mol⁻¹

n = 0.072 mol

Now we will find the molar mass.

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

0.072 mol = 2.35 g / molar mass

Molar mass = 2.35 g / 0.072 mol

Molar mass =  32.64 g / mol
