Answer: The chemical formula of the given compound is $Mo_3(PO_4)_5$

Explanation:

Molybdenum (V) phosphate is formed by the combination of molybdenum atoms and phosphate ions. This compound is ionic compound because electrons get transferred from one atom to another atom.

Molybdenum is the 42th element of the periodic table. It is a metal and it looses its electrons. The electronic configuration for this element is $[Kr]4d^55s^1$

This element will loose 5 electrons and forms $Mo^{5+}$ ion.

Phosphate ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of $PO_4^{3-}$

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for molybdenum (V) phosphate is $Mo_3(PO_4)_5$

Which physical method can be used for obtaining a sample of salt from a sm

lana [24]

The physical method that can be used for obtaining a sample of salt from a small beaker of salt and water would be evaporation.

<h3>Separation of salt and water</h3>

A mixture of salt and water can be separated by a method known as evaporation. This is based on the assumption that the salt in question is a water-soluble salt.

In order to separate the salt/water mixture:

Place the mixture in a suitable evaporating dish
Boil the mixture until all the water evaporates.
The remaining residue would be the salt

Care should be taken not to overheat the residue in order to avoid melting. Evaporation is generally used to separate a mixture of water and soluble salt. If the salt is insoluble, filtration using a suitable filter paper will filter off the salt while the water is collected as the filtrate.

Does the temperature of the solvent (water) affect the rate of dissolving?

gregori [183]

Yes. Heating up the solvent gives the molecules more kinetic energy. The more rapid motion means that the solvent molecules collide with the solute with greater frequency and the collisions occur with more force. Both factors increase the rate at which the solute dissolves.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

Hitman42 [59]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

N₂O₄(g)⇌2NO₂ at 2°C is Kc = 2.0

If each yellow sphere represents 1 mol of N₂O₄(g) and each gray sphere 1 mol of NO₂ which of the following 1.0 L containers represents the equilibrium mixture at 2°C?

The image is attached below.

Answer: The system which represents the equilibrium having value of $K_c=2.0$ is system (b)

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_c$
