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.

iragen [17]

Answer:

100,000 N

Explanation:

Force, F = mass, m × acceleration, a

⇒F = ma

m= 20, 000kg

a = 5m/s²

∴ F = 5 × 20,000 = 100,000N

When does cortisol get release by the body ?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Normally, cortisol is present in the body at higher levels in the morning, and at it is lowest at night. Although stress isn’t the only reason that cortisol is secreted into the bloodstream, it has been termed “the stress hormone” because it’s also secreted in higher levels during the body’s stress response and is responsible for several stress-related changes in the body.

Answer:

Explanation:

A1. Chemical indicator, any substance that gives a visible sign, usually by a colour change, of the presence or absence of a threshold concentration of a chemical species, such as an acid or an alkali in a solution. An example is the substance called methyl yellow, which imparts a yellow colour to an alkaline solution.

A2. The reaction of an acid with a base is called a neutralization reaction. The products of this reaction are a salt and water. ... For example, the reaction of hydrochloric acid, HCl, with sodium hydroxide, NaOH, solutions produces a solution of sodium chloride, NaCl, and some additional water molecules

A3. Methyl orange has the property to color alkaline and neutral water yellow. If the water becomes acidic, it turns red immediately.
