Answer: The chemical formula of the compound is $FeP$

Explanation:

Iron (III) phosphide is a compound which is formed by the combination of iron ion $(Fe^{3+})$ and phosphide ion $(P^{3-})$

The oxidation state of iron in the compound is +3 and the oxidation state of phosphorus in the compound is -3.

Thus, by criss-cross method, the oxidation states of the opposite ions becomes the subscipt of the other atom that represents the number of individual atoms in a compound. So, the chemical formula of iron (III) phosphide becomes $FeP$

Hence, the chemical formula of the compound is $FeP$

The charges of iron and phosphide has to be known to get the formula of the compound iron (III) phosphide. Fe3+ is the formula of iron with charge here and P3− is the formula and charge of phosphide. The formula of the compound is FeP. I hope that this is the answer that has actually helped you.

Wally fluoride is an imaginary gaseous

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

$\rho =1.96\frac{g}{L}$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since this imaginary gas can be modelled as an ideal gas, we can write:

$PV=nRT$

Which can be written in terms of density and molar mass as shown below:

$\frac{P}{RT} =\frac{n}{V} \\\\\frac{P}{RT} =\frac{m}{MM*V}\\\\\frac{P*MM}{RT} =\frac{m}{V}=\rho$

Thus, by computing the pressure in atmospheres, the resulting density would be:

$\rho = \frac{165/760 atm * 314.2 g/mol}{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*425K} \\\\\rho =1.96\frac{g}{L}$

Best regards!

What is 2\5 please let me know what the answer

mariarad [96]

Answer: 0.4

Explanation: The easiest way to do this is to get a denominator of 10. To do this, multiply each number in 2/5 by 2. You will get the fraction 4/10. With the denominator of 10, the answer would be 0.4 by putting the decimal in front of the number.

Potassium hydroxide is used to precipitate each of the cations from their respective solution. determine the minimum concentrati

MAXImum [283]

This is the three cases that help to determine the minimum concentration of KOH required for precipitation
Part a) 1.5×10^−2 M K CaCl2
Part b) 2.3×10^−3 M Fe (NO3)2
Part c) 2.0×10^−3 M MgBr2

a) CaCl2 + 2KOH --> Ca (OH) 2 + 2KCl Ca (OH) 2 <=> Ca^2+ + 2OH^-
ksp = 1.5*10^-2 + x^2
4.68*10^-6 = 1.5*10^-2 + x^2
x= [KOH] = 0.01766

b) Fe (NO3)2 +2 KOH--> Fe (OH)2 + 2KNO3
Fe (OH)2 <=> Fe^2+ + 2OH^-
ksp = 2.3*10^-3 + x^2
4.87*10^-17 = 2.3*10^-3 + x^2
x= 1.46*10^-7

c) MgBr2 + KOH --> Mg (OH) 2 + 2KBr
Mg (OH) 2 <=> Mg^2+ + 2OH^-
ksp = 2.0*10^-3 + x^2
2.06*10^-13 = 2.0*10^-3 + x^2
x= 1.015*10^-5
