What charge will an ion of phosphorus form?

Chemistry

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.

How many moles are in 1.5 x 10^20 molecules of NH3?
Keith_Richards [23]
<span>Because the question is asking moles of NH3, the compound, any subscripts are irrelevant. It only wants to know how many moles of NH3 molecules, not individual atoms.

Therefore, we can simply convert to moles. 1.5x10^23/6.022x10^23 = .249 moles of NH3.

(If it were to ask moles of Hydrogen, for example, you would multiply the answer by 3, because there are 3 atoms of Hydrogen per one molecule of NH3. But this only asks for moles of the entire compound).  

hope you have a great day! :)

Estimate the ph of the resulting solution prepared by mixing 1.0 mole of solid disodium phosphate (na2hpo4) and 1.25 mole of hyd
GenaCL600 [577]

The HCl added = 1.25 moles

and the moles of Na2HPO4 = 1 mole

Now when acid is added in the given solution of Na2HPO4

One mole of H+ will react with one mole of Na2HPO4 to given one mole of NaH2PO4

Na2HPO4  + H+  ---> NaH2PO4

Now this one mole formed NaH2PO4 will further react with 0.25 moles of H+ left to form 0.25 moles of  H3PO4 and 0.75 moles of NaH2PO4 will remain in the solution

So this will result into formation of a buffer of phosphoric acid and NaH2PO4

NaH2PO4  + H+  ---> H3PO4

pKa of H3PO4 = 2.1

so pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid] = 2.1 + log [0.75 / 0.25] = 2.58

so the pH will be in between 2.1 to 7.2

How many moles of carbonate are there in sodium carbonate​
vaieri [72.5K]

There are 0.566 moles of carbonate in sodium carbonate.

<h3>CALCULATE MOLES:</h3>
  • The number of moles of carbonate (CO3) in sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) can be calculated by dividing the mass of carbonate in the compound by the molar mass of the compound.

  • no. of moles of CO3 = mass of CO3 ÷ molar mass of Na2CO3

  • Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 23(2) + 12 + 16(3)

  • = 46 + 12 + 48 = 106g/mol

  • mass of CO3 = 12 + 48 = 60g

  • no. of moles of CO3 = 60/106

  • no. of moles of CO3 = 0.566mol

  • Therefore, there are 0.566 moles of carbonate in sodium carbonate.
