Answer : The correct name for the compound, $P_2O_5$ is, Diphosphorous pentoxide.

Explanation :

$P_2O_5$ is a covalent compound because in this compound the sharing of electrons takes place between phosphorous and oxygen. Both the elements are non-metals. Hence, it will form covalent bond.

The naming of covalent compound is given by:

The less electronegative element is written first.
The more electronegative element is written second. Then a suffix is added with it. The suffix added is '-ide'.
If atoms of an element is greater than 1, then prefixes are added which are 'mono' for 1 atom, 'di' for 2 atoms, 'tri' for 3 atoms and so on.

Hence, the correct name for the compound, $P_2O_5$ is, Diphosphorous pentoxide.

In a titration of 0.5 M HCl and an unknown concentration NaOH, 25.0 ml of NaOH was required to completely neutralize 25.0 ml of

baherus [9]

When an acid is neutralized by a base, that means moles of H+ = moles of OH-

moles of H+ = 0.5 M * 0.025 L HCl = 0.0125 moles H+

moles of OH- should be equal to 0.0125 moles, so
0.0125 moles = (x) * 0.025 L NaOH

x is the concentration of NaOH, which we want to find.

x = 0.5 M

The correct answer is C) 0.5 M.
