Answer:The answer is "It has five valence electrons available for bonding". An element's group number is equivalent to the number of valence electrons that it has. This means that since phosphorus is found on group number 5, it has 5 valence electrons that participate in bonding. It also means that it needs 3 more electrons to complete its valency.

It has 5 valence electrons available for bonding.  The noble gas configuration of phosphorus is [Ne]3s²3p³ showing that phosphorus has 5 valence electrons (2 in the s orbital and 3 in the p orbital).
I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

A balloon is cooled by removing 0.784 kJ of heat. It shrinks on cooling, and the atmosphere does 655 J of work on the balloon. C
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The correct answer is -0.129 kJ

Explanation:

In the given case, the cooling of the balloon is done by withdrawing 0.784 J of heat, and the work done by the atmosphere on the balloon is 655 J. First, there is a need to transform kJ into J, 1 kJ = 1000 J. So, 0.784 kJ would be 784 J.  

The ΔE or the change in the internal energy can be calculated by using the formula, ΔE = q + w ----- (1).  

In the given case, q refers to the heat moved out of the system, that is, the value of q would be less than 0 or will be a negative quantity. Therefore, the heat moved out of the system will be -784 J. On the other hand, as the work or w is done on the system, therefore, the value of w would be more than 0 or will be a positive quantity. Thus, the value of w will be +655 J.  

Now putting the values in the equation (1) we get,  

ΔE = -784 J + 655 J

ΔE = -129 J or -0.129 kJ

As the change in internal energy comes out to be a negative value, therefore, the process is considered exothermic.

Below is a phase diagram for Carbon Dioxide. Use this diagram to answer the following question.
kompoz [17]
If you mark those points on the phase diagram it appears to be moving from vapor to liquid. If you can’t see how I determined that please let me know and I can further explain.

Vapor to liquid is the same as saying gas to liquid, which I believe to be the correct answer.
