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

The solubility of two slightly soluble salts of M^2+ , MA and MZ_2, are the same, 4 x 10^â4 mol/L.
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

a) MZ₂

b) They have the same concentration

c) 4x10⁻⁴ mol/L

Explanation:

a) The solubility (S) is the concentration of the salt that will be dissociated and form the ions in the solution, the solubility product constant (Kps) is the multiplication of the concentration of the ions elevated at their coefficients. The concentration of the ions depends on the stoichiometry and will be equivalent to S.

The salts solubilization reactions and their Kps values are:

MA(s) ⇄ M⁺²(aq) + A⁻²(aq) Kps = S*S = S²

MZ₂(aq) ⇄ M⁺²(aq) + 2Z⁻(aq) Kps = S*S² = S³

Thus, the Kps of MZ₂ has a larger value.

b) A saturated solution is a solution that has the maximum amount of salt dissolved, so, the concentration dissolved is solubility. As we can notice from the reactions, the concentration of M⁺² is the same for both salts.

c) The equilibrium will be not modified because the salts have the same solubility. So, let's suppose that the volume of each one is 1 L, so the number of moles of the cation in each one is 4x10⁻⁴ mol. The total number of moles is 8x10⁻⁴ mol, and the concentration is:

8x10⁻⁴ mol/2 L = 4x10⁻⁴ mol/L.

When a solid with a mass of 53.78 g is added to 50.0 ml of water in a graduated cylinder, the volume increases to 56.4 ml. Calcu
Bad White [126]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 8.40 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 56.4 - 50 = 6.4 mL

We have

density =  \frac{53.78}{6.4}  \\  = 8.403125

We have the final answer as

<h3>8.40 g/mL</h3>
