Answer:

Phosphide ion

Explanation:

To achieve an octet, the phosphorus atom forms an ion. The name of this ion is Phosphide ion

Phosphorous have 15 electrons in shell. This means it has 5 electrons in its outer most shell well this means it requires 3 more electrons to complete its octate. Thus Phosphorus changes to phosphide ion with negative 3 sign  on it.

Washing soda is a hydrate of sodium carbonate. Elemental analysis of a sample of washing soda gave 4.20% C and 7.05% H. What is
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Na₂CO₃ · 10H₂O

Explanation:

The formula for sodium carbonate hydrate is:

Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O

The unknown "x" is the number of water molecules contained in the hydrate.

To find "x" we have to use the hydrogen percentage in the sample, 7.05 % H.

First we calculate the molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O:

molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O = 23 × 2 + 12 + 16 × 3 + 18x

molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O = 106 + 18x  g/mole

Now we devise the fallowing reasoning tanking in account 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O:

if in        106 + 18x grams of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O we have 2x grams of hydrogen

then in  100 grams of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O we have 7.05 grams of hydrogen

106 + 18x = (100 × 2x) / 7.05

106 + 18x = 28.4x

106 = 28.4x - 18x

106 = 10.4x

x = 106 / 10.4

x = 10.2 ≈ 10

The formula for the washing soda is Na₂CO₃ · 10H₂O.

What are alkali metals
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Alkali metals are highly reactive elements that appear to be silver and they are found in group 1 of the periodic table.  It consists of lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr).  As you go further down the group, the more reactive they are.  Those elements all react to water and air, so they must be kept in oil to preserve their state.
