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.

Aqueous concentrated nitric acid is 69% hno3 by weight and has a density of 1.42 g/ml.
OleMash [197]

Answer: -

15.55 M

35.325 molal

Explanation: -

Let the volume of the solution be 1000 mL.

Density of nitric acid = 1.42 g/ mL

Total Mass of nitric acid Solution = Volume of nitric acid x Density of nitric acid

= 1000 mL x 1.42 g/ mL

= 1420 g.

Percentage of HNO₃ = 69%

Amount of HNO₃ = \frac{69} {100} x 1420 g

= 979.8 g

Molar mass of HNO₃ = 1 x 1 + 14 x 1 + 16 x 3 = 63 g /mol

Number of moles of HNO₃ = \frac{979.8 g}{63 g/ mol}

= 15.55 mol

Molarity is defined as number of moles per 1000 mL

We had taken 1000 mL as volume and found it to contain 15.55 moles.

Molarity of HNO₃ = 15.55 M

Mass of water = Total mass of nitric acid solution - mass of nitric acid

= 1420 - 979.8

= 440.2 g

So we see that 440.2 g of water contains 15.55 moles of HNO₃

Molality is defined as number of moles of HNO₃ present per 1000 g of water.

Molality of HNO₃ = \frac{15.55 x 1000}{440.2}

= 35.325 molal

When the temperature of a sample of neon gas increases, what else increases? Distance between the atoms Kinetic energy of the at
Allushta [10]

Answer: Kinetic Energy of the atoms also increases.

Explanation: We are given that the temperature of the gas increases.

Relation between kinetic energy and temperature follows:

K.E._({avg})=\frac{3RT}{2N_A}

where, K = Average Kinetic energy

R = Gas constant

T = Temperature

N_A = Avogadro's number

As seen from the relation above, the Kinetic energy of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature, hence as the temperature increases, kinetic energy of the atom also increases.

How do volcanos such as ojos del salado form?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Deep inside Earth, between the molten iron core and the thin crust at the surface, there is a solid body of rock called the mantle. When rock from the mantle melts, moves to the surface through the crust, and releases pent-up gases, volcanoes erupt.

Explanation: hot molten rock, ash, and gases escape from the volcano
