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.

CO_2 sublimes readily at 25°C. Which properties are usually associated with a compound that undergoes this kind of change?
antoniya [11.8K]

Explanation:

Sublimation is defined as a process in which solid state of a substance directly changes into vapor or gaseous state without undergoing liquid phase.

For example, naphthalene balls show sublimation at room temperature.

As this process does not cause any change in chemical composition of a substance. Hence, it is known as a physical process.

Similarly, when CO_{2} sublimes readily at 25^{o}C. This shows change in physical state of carbon dioxide is taking place, i.e, from solid to gaseous phase.

Thus, we can conclude that when CO_{2} sublimes readily at 25^{o}C then it means physical properties are usually associated with a compound that undergoes this kind of change.

2.50 liter of a gas has a pressure of 165. kPa at 25.0°C. If the pressure increases to 600. kPa and the temperature to 100.0°C,
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

0.861 L

Explanation:

We are given pressure, volume, and temperature, so let's apply the Combined Gas Law:

(P₁V₁)/T₁ = (P₂V₂)/T₂

Convert the temperatures to degrees Kelvin.

25.0°C -> 298 K, 100.0°C -> 373 K

Plug in the initial conditions on the left, then the final/new on the right, and solve for the unknown:

(165(2.5))/298 = (600(V₂))/373

V₂ = (165(2.5)(373))/(298(600))

V₂ = 0.861 L
