1) Molecular formula for aluminium phospide is AlP. Aluminium has oxidation number +3 (metal from 13. group of periodic table) and phosphorus in phospides has oxidation number -3.

Aluminium phosphide is a highly toxic, solid inorganic compound.

2) Molecular formula for aluminium phospide is Mg₃P₂. Magnesium has oxidation number +2 (metal from 2. group of periodic table) and phosphorus in phospides has oxidation number -3.

Convert 565,900 seconds into days
Andreas93 [3]

There are 60 seconds in one minute

565900 / 60 = 9431.667 minutes in 565,900 seconds

There are 60 minutes in an hour

9431.667 minutes / 60 = 157.9144 hours in 565900 seconds

There are 24 hours in 1 day

157.9144 hours / 24 hours = 6.5498 days.
