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

Answer:

Follows are the answer to this question:

Explanation:

pleas find the attachment file.

Formula for ΔE:

\Delta E =  \sum \text{Bond energy of recatants}- \sum \text{Bond energy of Products}

    = 6 ( B.E_{C-C}) +12 (B.E_{C-H}) +(B.E_{o \ = \ o}) - 6(B.E_{C-C})-10(B.E_{C-H}) -( B.E_{C=0}) -2(B.E_{0-H})\\\\ =  \bold{2 (B.E_{C-H}) +(B.E_{o \ = \ o})  -( B.E_{C=0}) -2(B.E_{0-H})}\\\\

to calculate the value for ΔE put the value in above formula:

How much energy is needed to warm 7.40g of water by 55 degress C?
zloy xaker [14]
<span>E = mCdT
E = energy, m = mass, C = specific heat capacity, dT = change in temperature.
526 = 0.074C x 17
E = 0.074C x 55
Divide the equations
E/526 = (0.074C x 55)/(0.074C x 17) = 55/17
E = (55 x 526)/17 = 1702 J</span>

Which statement correctly identifies the nuclide that is most likely to be unstable and describes why?
iVinArrow [24]
The answer would be B.

U-238 has a n to p ration of 1.6:1. 146 neutrons and 92 protons.

It is actually the most commonly used isotope is reactors.

C-14 is also a radioactive isotope with 8 neutrons and 6 protons.

The usual and ideal n to p ratio is 1:1 such as C-12 or Mg-24
