Answer:

Explanation:

Oxidation state of Cr in CrPO₄

As a general rule, the algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The compound above is in its neutral state and we sum all the oxidation numbers and equate to zero:

The oxidation number of P is -2

                                           O is -2

Let the oxidation number of Cr be x:

                              x + (-2) + 4(-2) = 0

                              x -2-8 = 0

                               x -10 = 0

                                x = +10

For Cr in Cr₃(PO₄)₂

         Using the same rule:

        2(x) + 2[-2 + 4(-2)] = 0

           2x + 2(-2-8) = 0

            2x -20 = 0

                x = +10

Answer:

CrPO_4: Cr +3\\Cr_3(PO_4)_2: Cr+2

Explanation:

CrPO_4 and Cr_3(PO_4)_2 are compounds known as ternary salts

This means that they are formed by a metal or a non-metal and an anion

 Its formula is M_x(X_yO_z)_w, that is, the cation is written first and then the anion and the simplified charges are exchanged if possible.

The anion PO_4 has a load of -3: PO_{4}^{-3}

Let's look at the first compound CrPO_4 we observe that when exchanging the charges 3 of thePO_4 does not appear therefore the charges are simplified as the charges are completely simplified, it means that the chromium has the same valence (numerically but with opposite sign) that the anion

Therefore the oxidation state of Cr in CrPO_4 is +3

Let's look at the second compound Cr_3(PO_4)_2, it is observed that when exchanging the valences, the 3 of the PO_4 is with the chromium, and with the anion is  2

As valencia are not multiples, they cannot be simplified.

When exchanging the valences, thePO_4 has the valence corresponding to the chromium which in this case is + 2

How does the Bohr model show you an atom has become an ion?
Step2247 [10]
An early model of the atom was developed in 1913 by Danish scientist Niels Bohr (1885–1962). The Bohr model shows the atom as a central nucleus containing protons and neutrons with the electrons in circular orbitals at specific distances from the nucleus . These orbits form electron shells or energy levels, which are a way of visualizing the number of electrons in the various shells. These energy levels are designated by a number and the symbol "n." For example, 1n represents the first energy level located closest to the nucleus.

When a 3.00 g 3.00 g sample of KBr KBr is dissolved in water in a calorimeter that has a total heat capacity of 1.36 kJ ⋅ K − 1
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Molar heat of solution of KBr is 20.0kJ/mol

Explanation:

Molar heat of solution is defined as the energy released (negative) or absorbed (Positive) per mole of solute being dissolved in solvent.

The dissolution of KBr is:

KBr → K⁺ + Br⁻

In the calorimeter, the temperature decreases 0.370K, that means the solution absorbes energy in this process. The energy is:

q = 1.36kJK⁻¹ × 0.370K

q = 0.5032kJ

Moles of KBr in 3.00g are:

3.00g × (1mol / 119g) = 0.0252moles

Thus, molar heat of solution of KBr is:

0.5032kJ / 0.0252moles = <em>20.0kJ/mol</em>

What is the acceleration of a 50kg object pushed with a force of 500 Newton’s
olasank [31]

Answer:

<h2>10 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m} \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{500}{50}  =  \frac{50}{5}  = 10 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>10 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
