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.

How many molecules of CO2 at standard temperature and pressure in 5.4 moles of CO2
olganol [36]

Answer:

3.25×10²⁴ molecules.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of mole of CO₂ = 5.4 moles

Number of molecules of CO₂ =?

The number of molecules of CO₂ in 5.4 moles can be obtained as follow:

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

1 mole of CO₂ = 6.02×10²³ molecules

Therefore,

5.4 moles of CO₂ = 5.4 × 6.02×10²³

5.4 moles of CO₂ = 3.25×10²⁴ molecules

Thus, 5.4 moles of CO₂ contains 3.25×10²⁴ molecules.
