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.

If a 125 gms of radioactive element has a half life of 60 min how many half lives will it go through to become 3.90625 gms
Sonja [21]

Answer:

  • 5

Explanation:

Let the number of half lives be x

<u>Solve this equation to find the value of x:</u>

  • 125*(1/2)ˣ = 3.90625
  • (0.5)ˣ = 3.90625 / 125
  • (0.5)ˣ = 0.03125
  • log (0.5)ˣ  = log 0.03125
  • x =  log 0.03125 / log 0.5
  • x = 5

according to the kinetic molecular theory the pressure exerted by a sample of gas at constats volume doubles when the absolute t
ozzi

Answer: gas molecules will hit the container walls more frequently and with greater force

Explanation:

According to the postulates of  kinetic molecular theory:

1. The pressure exerted by a gas in a container results from collisions between the gas molecules and the container walls.

2. The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is proportional to the kelvin temperature of the gas.

When the temperature is increased, so the average kinetic energy and the rms speed also increase. This means that the gas molecules will hit the container walls more frequently and with greater force because they are all moving faster. This increase the pressure.

Which statement correctly explains how magnesium and chlorine combine to form magnesium chloride?
AysviL [449]
You did not include the statements but since magnesium chloride is ionic substance that we know that magnesium and chlorine formed an ionic bond.  Therefore your statement most likely will talk about how one magnesium atom gave up 2 electrons while two chlorine atoms took 1 electron.  The reaction looks like Mg+2Cl⇒MgCl₂.  
I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

If a patient\'s blood pressure is 145 over 65 mmHg, what is it in atmospheres (atm)
kicyunya [14]

Converting mmHg to atm is solved by division.

Example: Convert 745.0 to atm.

Solution- divide the mmHg value by the 760.0 mmHg / atm.

745 mmHg over 760.0 mmHg/atm

atm value is 0.980263

Now, I am a medical student and we have never had to convert a BP (blood pressure) to atm from mmHg, only ever kPA. SO, I am going to take a guess here and say that when you do the work to solve this, you are going to convert the Systolic (upper #) which is the 145. You should get 0.190789 and then convert the Diastolic (lower #) which is 65. You should get 0.08552632.

So your fraction so to speak should read, 0.190789/0.08552632 or 0.190789 over 0.08552632

(Just to note that is way to low of a BP, although it is irrelevant) Best wishes and good luck. "Remember, never just look for the right answer, look for why it is the right answer!"

Find the specific heat of an unknown material with an initial temperature of 20°C, when 5000 Joules are applied to a 50 gram sam
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

2J/g°C

Explanation:

Q = 5000J

Initial temperature (T1) = 20°C

Final temperature (T2) = 70°C

Specific heat capacity (c) = ?

Heat energy (Q) = mc∇T

Q = mc∇T

Q = mc(T2 - T1)

5000 = 50 × c × (70 - 20)

5000 = 50c × 50

5000 = 2500c

c = 5000 / 2500

c = 2J/g°C

The specific heat capacity of the substance is 2J/g°C
