Which element does not have similar chemical characteristics as phosphorus (P)?

Chemistry

Trava [24]2 years ago
3 0
Generally (but far from universally), the elements within a group have similar characteristics. Antimony, nitrogen, and arsenic are all part of the same group as phosphorous (the pnictogens, or group 5A). Oxygen is not in this group, but rather in an adjacent group (the chalcogens, or group 6A). Thus, the answer here should be oxygen.

That said, there can be very significant differences in characteristics among the elements within a group, and that is certainly the case here. For example, free nitrogen exists predominantly as a molecular gas (N₂) and makes up about 78% of the atmosphere we breathe. Elemental arsenic (As), while in the same group as nitrogen, is naturally found in the solid state and is poisonous to humans (arsenic is sometimes included among the toxic heavy metals, although it’s technically a metalloid).

I need help with with number 1515. How many moles of NO2 are in a 37.058 L container at 101.28 kPa and -139.86
Andre45 [30]

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will use the Clayperon Equation:

P.V = n.R.T

where:

P = 101.28 kPa

1 atm = 101,325 Pa

x atm = 101,280 Pa

x = 1 atm

V = 37.058 L

n = we don't know

R = 0.082 atm.L/K.mol

T = -139.88 ºC = -139.88+273.15 = 133.27 K

1*37.058 = n*0.082*133.27

n = 0.29 moles

Answer: 0.29 moles

What is an oxidation reaction? ​
kow [346]
<h3>Definition:</h3>
  • A reaction when an atom or compound loses one or more electrons.

  • It is a reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species.

  • Oxidation is gain of oxygen

<h3>For Example:</h3>

Fe + O2 —(H2O)—> Fe2O3

Which best describes an oxidizing agent?
stellarik [79]

Answer:B) a reactant that undergoes reduction

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases during oxidation.

M\rightarrow M^++e^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced during reduction.

N^++e^-\rightarrow N

Overall reaction: M+N^+\rightarrow M^++N

The substance M which itself gets oxidized, reduces other and is called as reducing agent. The substance N which itself gets reduced, oxidizes other and is called as oxidizing agent.

My teacher is grading this soon can someone help me ASAP!
Stolb23 [73]

10. You demonstrated the difference in density of the two objects. It is a physical property.

11. First calculate the density for all of them: density = mass/volume

Density:

A. 5/6 g/ml

B. 10/9 g/ml

C. 15/16 g/ml

D. 20/10 g/ml

If the density of the substance is higher than the density of the substance it is put in, then it will sink. So substances B and D will sink in water, as their densities are higher than 1 g/ml.

12. Ammonia weighs less than water does-- for example, the weight of 8 gallons of ammonia will be equivalent to the weight of 5 gallons of water.

Hope this helped!
