Answer:

$Co_3(PO_4)_2$

Explanation:

Naming of the ionic compounds:-

The name of the cation is written first and the the name of the anion is written after the name of the cation separated by single space.
The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.
In case of transition metals, the oxidation state are written in roman numerals in bracket in front of positive ions.

Hence, given ionic compound:-

Cobalt(II) phosphate

So, Cobalt will have a positive charge of +2

Phosphate is $PO_4^{3-}$

So, the formula is :-

Co $PO_4^{3-}$

2 3

$Co_3(PO_4)_2$

Here is a more complex redox reaction involving the dichromate ion in acidic solution: 3N O 2 − + 8H + + C r 2 O 7 2− → 3N O 3 −

Answer:

NO2- is the reducing agent.

Cr2O7_2- is the oxidizing agent.

H+ is neither

Explanation:

Reduction is the gain in electron. A chemical specie that undergoes reduction is called the oxidizing agent.

Oxidation is simply the loss in electrons. A chemical specie that undergoes oxidation is called the reducing agent.

Let us look at the species.

The first specie is the NO2-. In this specie, the oxidation number of nitrogen changed from +3 to +5 in NO3-. Thus we can see that there is more loss of electron to have caused an increase in the oxidation number positively. This shows an oxidation. Hence, NO2- is the reducing agent.

Let us look at the chromium. We can see that the oxidation number of chromium changed from +7 to +3.

Now we can see that it is a decrease and hence, it is a gain of electron and thus it is reduction. This means the first chromium specie is the oxidizing agent.

The hydrogen ion is simply placed there to balance the ions and hence it is neither the oxidizing nor the reducing agent.

1) Look at the graph. What is the independent variable and the dependent variable?

Xelga [282]

Answer:

Independent Variable = Years

Dependent Variable = Number of Mobiles phone owners

Explanation:

Independent variables are plotted on x-axis and the dependent variables are plotted on y-axis.

In given graph the "Years" belong to x-axis hence, years are the independent variables.

Also, "Number of Mobile phones owners" belong to y-axis hence, this number is the dependent variable.

kumpel [21]

Answer:

Attached in the photo.

Explanation:

Hello,

The answers in the attached photo. Just three things:

- In the second point a parenthesis is missing to properly understand the molecule (after the oxygen), nevertheless, I assumed it was an ether.

- In the sixth point, there's a missing hydrogen for it to be an ether as well.

- In the tenth point the second parenthesis is not clear, it seems there's a missing subscript, nevertheless I draw it assuming complete octates.

Best regards.

What is an internal cost of driving a domestic car?

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The correct option is: Cost of materials used in manufacture

Explanation:

There are two types of costs of an object: the internal costs and the external costs.

The internal cost of an object is the direct monetized cost. It refers to the cost involved in the <u>production or manufacturing of a given objec</u>t. Example: labor, <u>material required</u>, equipment, energy, and overhead expenses.
