Step 1:
           
Write molecular Formula,

                                                Na₅P₃O₁₀
Step 2:
         
Assign Oxidation number to Na (which is +1) and O (which is -2), and X (unknown) for P.
                                               (+1)₅ + (X)₃ + (-2)₁₀  = 0

Zero means overall charge on molecule is zero (Neutral).

Step 3:
           
Now solve for X,
                                               (+5) + (X ÷ 3) + (-20)  =  0

                                                X ÷ 3  =  -5 + 20
                                
                                                X ÷ 3  =  +15

                                                      X  =  +15 ÷ 3

                                                      X  =  +5

Result:
           Oxidation number of P is +5.

3 reasons why aluminium is used in making of cooking vessels
Annette [7]

Answer is : It is a good thermal and electrical conductor. -The main point to be noted is that aluminium is a highly reactive element and still it is used for making cooking utensils. The reason is that aluminium has a very high affinity for oxygen. So, it reacts with oxygen and forms a layer of aluminium oxide on its surface.

PLEASE HELP I NEED IT!!!!!
galina1969 [7]
Answer:
Molarity = 2.3 M

Explanation:
Molarity can be calculated using the following rule:
Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution

1- getting the number of moles:
We are given that:
mass of solute = 105.96 grams
From the periodic table:
atomic mass of carbon = 12 grams
atomic mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
atomic mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Therefore:
molar mass of C2H6O = 2(12) + 6(1) + 16 = 46 grams
Now, we can get the number of moles as follows:
number of moles = mass / molar mass = 105.96 / 46 = 2.3 moles

2- The volume of solution is given = 1 liter

3- getting the molarity:
molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution
molarity = 2.3 / 1
molarity = 2.3 M

Hope this helps :)
