Identify the oxidation number of phosphorus in the compound sodium phosphate.

1 answer:

7 0

It is +5. There -8 charge due to four oxygen atoms and +3 due to one sodium atom and 2 hydrogen atom which makes it necessary for phosphorus to have +5 charge on it to make the compound electrically neutral. The charge on phosphorus corresponds to its oxidation number.

djyliett [7]

Question:

What occurs to the atoms of reactants in a chemical reaction?

Answer:

In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules that interact with each other are called reactants. ... No new atoms are created, and no atoms are destroyed. In a chemical reaction, reactants contact each other, bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken, and atoms rearrange and form new bonds to make the products.

7. A gas has a volume of 300 mL at 300 mm Hg. What will its volume be if the pressure is changed to 500 mm Hg?

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The volume is

Explanation:

In order to solve for the volume we use the formula for Boyle's law which is

where

P1 is the initial pressure

V1 is the initial volume

P2 is the final pressure

V2 is the final volume

Since we are finding the final volume we are finding V2

Making V2 the subject we have

From the question

P1 = 300 mmHg

V1 = 300 mL

P2 = 500 mmHg

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the final volume obtained

That's

<h3> $V _{2} = \frac{300 \times 300}{500} \\ = \frac{90000}{500} \\ = \frac{900}{5}$ </h3>

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
