What is the charge on the phosphorus atom in the polyatomic ion: PO4-3

Chemistry
1 answer:
oee [108]4 years ago
3 0

+5

Explanation:

  The given radical is                 PO₄³⁻

To solve this problem, we need to understand what oxidation number entails.

The extent of the oxidation of each atom is expressed by the oxidation number.

Here are some rules for assigning them:

  • Elements in an uncombined state or elements that combines with one another, their oxidation number is zero.
  • The charge on an ion is its oxidation number
  • In an neutral compound, algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms is zero.
  • In a radical, the algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of the ions is equal to the charge on them.

Oxygen is known to have an oxidation number of -2;

                       

                          PO₄³⁻

 P + 4(-2) = -3

 P -8 = -3

  P = -3 + 8 = +5

The charge on phosphorus is +5

Which of the following does ((NOT)) Describe a single-displacement reaction?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Single replacement reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which element exchange their position with the position of another element in its compound molecule.

AB+C\rightarrow CB+A

It is also called redox reaction because one element getting oxidized and another one getting reduced.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

The molar heat of fusion of platinum (Pt) is 4.700 kcal/mol. How much heat must be added to 85.5 g of
zvonat [6]

Answer:

2.07 Kcal heat must be added to completely melt the platinum.

Explanation:

Given data:

Molar heat of fusion =  4.700 Kcal / mol

Mass of platinum = 85.5 g

Heat of fusion = ?

Solution:

Formula:

ΔH = n × molar heat of fusion

n = number of moles

Now we will calculate the number of moles:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 85.5 g /195.08 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.44 mole

ΔH = n × molar heat of fusion

ΔH = 0.44 mol × 4.700 Kcal / mol

ΔH = 2.07 Kcal

Identical heat lamps are arranged to shine on two identical containers, one containing water and one methanol (wood alcohol), so
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The temperature of the methanol will increase more rapidly.  

Explanation:

The premise of your question is incorrect. Methanol has an OH group, so there ARE hydrogen bonds among methanol molecules.

However, the specific heat capacity of methanol is 2.53 J°C⁻¹g⁻¹, while that of water is 4.18 J°C⁻¹g⁻¹.

Thus, it takes 65 % more heat energy  to raise the temperature of a given mass of water by 1 °C than it does to raise the temperature of an equal mass of methanol by the same amount.

The two samples are receiving heat energy at the same rate, so the methanol will heat up faster than the water.
