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.

A vial containing radioactive selenium-75 has an activity of 3.0 mCi/mL. If 2.6 mCi are required for a leukemia test, how many m
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer : The 866.66\mu L must be administered.

Solution :

As we are given that a vial containing radioactive selenium-75 has an activity of 3.0mCi/mL.

As, 3.0 mCi radioactive selenium-75 present in 1 ml

So, 2.6 mCi radioactive selenium-75 present in \frac{2.6mCi}{3.0mCi}\times 1ml=0.86666ml\times 1000=866.66\mu L

Conversion :

(1ml=1000\mu L)

Therefore, the 866.66\mu L must be administered.

Which equation shows a conservation of mass?
pychu [463]
(4) PCl5--> PCl3+ Cl2 is the correct answer because we both have 1 P atom and 5 Cl atoms on both sides, and thus the masses of the elements don't change.
Hope this would help~
