Answer:

A charge of -3

Explanation:

If you look on a periodic table you will find that phosphorus is 3 elements away from the nearest noble gas argon. This means that phosphorus would prefer a charge of -3!

Answer:typically it will be -3

Explanation:

It prefers to take up 3 electrons and thereby become phosphide with a -3 charge. since it is a nonmetal it will take up electrons making it negative as an ion. In order to fill up its last shell, to become stable, to form an octet it will need 3 added electrons which will give it that -3 charge. An atom of phophorus will be neutral, An ion of phsphorus will have a -3 charge.

What volume of 0.100 m sodium chloride must be added to 75.0 ml of 0.200 m lead(ii) nitrate to precipitate all of the lead ions?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Reaction for precipitation is
Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2Nacl(aq)→PbCL2(s)+2NaNO3(aq)
The given reaction is
The mol of Nacl required is =2×mol of Pb(NO3)2 which is present.
∴M(Nacl)×V(Nacl) =2×M(Pb(NO3)2 ×V(Pb(NO3)2
o.100M×V(Nacl)=2×0.200 MX75.0ML
V(Nacl = 300mL.

5) Calculate the molality of 0.210 mol of KBr dissolved in 0.075kg pure water?

Margaret [11]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2.8 \ m }}$

Explanation:

The formula for molality is:

$m=\frac{moles \ of \ solute}{kg \ of \ solvent}$

There are 0.210 moles of KBr and 0.075 kilograms of pure water.

$moles= 0.210 \ mol \\kilograms = 0.075 \ kg$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$m= \frac{ 0.210 \ mol }{0.075 \ kg}$

Divide.

$m= 2.8 \ mol/kg= 2.8 \ m$

The molality is 2.8 moles per kilogram

What is the significance of "Er" in the diagram?

Drupady [299]

Answer:

The significance of "Er" in the diagram is :

B.) Threshold energy for reaction

Explanation:

Threshold energy : It is total amount of energy required by the reactant molecule to reach the transition state .

Activation energy : It is the excess energy absorbed by the molecules to reach the transition state.

Activation Energy = Threshold Energy - Average Kinetic Energy

This means Activation energy decreases on increasing kinetic energy

On increasing Temperature average kinetic energy of the molecule increases which reduces the activation energy and the reaction occur faster in that case.

Catalyst also reduces the Activation energy.

Er = Threshshold energy for reaction at 30 degree

Ea = Activation Energy

The given figure shows that the threshold energy decreases on increasing the temperature

Only the molecule having energy greater than Er can react to form product

General Chemistry fourth edition by McQuarrie, Rock, and Gallogly. University Science Books presented by Macmillan Learning.

Helen [10]

Answer:

3.07 Cal/g

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the heat absorbed by the calorimeter

We will use the following expression.

Q = C × ΔT

where,

Q: heat absorbed

C: heat capacity of the calorimeter (37.60 kJ/K = 37.60 kJ/°C)

ΔT: temperature change (2.29 °C)

Q = 37.60 kJ/°C × 2.29 °C = 86.1 kJ

According to the law of conservation of energy, the heat released by the candy has the same magnitude as the heat absorbed by the calorimeter.

Step 2: Convert 86.1 kJ to Cal

We will use the conversion factor 1 Cal = 4.186 kJ.

86.1 kJ × 1 Cal/4.186 kJ = 20.6 Cal

Step 3: Calculate the number of Cal per gram of candy

20.6 Cal/6.70 g = 3.07 Cal/g
