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 hot metal plate at 150°C has been placed in air at room temperature. Which event would most likely take place over the next fe
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The air molecules that are surrounding the metal will speed up, and the molecules in the metal will slow down.

Explanation:

There will be a transfer of thermal energy (heat) from the hot metal plate to the surrounding air. This transfer of energy equates to a transfer of kinetic energy in the molecules. As the plate loses heat, the molecules in the plate will lose kinetic energy and slow down. As the surrounding air gains heat, the molecules will gain kinetic energy and speed up.

Solid silver chloride, AgCI(s), decomposes to its elements when exposed to sunlight Write a balanced equation for this reaction
Mrac [35]

Answer: The coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

Decomposition of silver chloride is represented as:

2AgCl(s)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cl_2(g)

Thus the coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.

Identify the mixture of powdered charcoal and powdered sugar and suggest a technique for separating their components
mihalych1998 [28]
A- Identify the mixture:
The mixture of powdered charcoal and powdered sugar is considered as a homogeneous mixture. This means that you cannot identify the components with naked eye as they are uniformly distributed in the mixture.

B- Separate components:
You ca separate the charcoal powder from the sugar powder using the following steps:
1- add water. Sugar will dissolve in water while charcoal won't.
2- filter the solution where the powdered charcoal will remain on the filter paper and the solution of powder will pass through.
3- boil the sugar solution (above 100 degrees celcius). The water will evaporate and the sugar will precipitate.

Why is it unnecessary to include an aluminum trihalide in electrophilic aromatic bromination reaction of acetanilide wih molecul
Helen [10]
Many electrophilic aromatic halogenations require the presence of an aluminum trihalide as a catalyst. We generally acetylated the amino group as protection. Now, this acetanilide can be brominated at Ortho or para position. An atom that is attached to an aromatic system usually hydrogen is replaced by an electrophile is an organic reaction which is called Electrophilic aromatic substitution. There are what you called important electrophilic aromatic substitutions they are aromatic nitration, aromatic sulfonation, aromatic halogenation and acylation and alkylating Friedel-Crafts reaction. Aromatic bromination is an electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) reaction, which will require benzene to act as a nucleophile to acquire an electrophile. Therefore, any directing groups that activate the ring will make it react more quickly with respect to aromatic bromination. Acetanilide is a moderately-activated ring <span>having a decent EWG.</span>
