What is the oxidation number of phosphorus (P) in phosphoric acid (H3PO4)?
Sedaia [141]

Hey there!:

H is always +1 so the H's have a +3 charge.

O is always -2 so the O's have a -8 charge .

Now, suppose oxidation state for P = X , then :

+3  + X + (-8) = 0      (because of neutral molecule)

x = 8 - 3

x = + 5

So, X = +5 oxidation state.

Answer  C


Hope that helps!

A 45.0 g sample of a metal at 85.6 °C is placed in 150.0 g of water at 24.6 °C. The final temperature of the system is 28.3 °
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

904.014 j/kgk

Explanation:

Mass of metal = 45g

Temperature of metal = 85.6°

Mass of water = 150

Temperature of water = 24.6

Final temperature of system = 28.3

Heat lost by metal = Heat gained by water

m1 * c1 * dt = m2 * c2 * dt

Q = quantity of heat

Q = m*c*dt

dt = change in temperature

dt of water = 28.3 - 24.6 = 3.7

dt of metal = 85.6 - 28.3 = 57.3

Specific heat capacity of water, c = 4200

(45 * 10^-3) * c * 57.3 = (150 * 10^-3) * 4200 * 3.7

2.5785c1 = 2331

c1 = 2331 / 2.5785

= 904.01396

= 904.014 j/kgk

How many moles are 5.55 x 102 atoms of Mg?<br> M2) an&gt; NU X 02.0
cupoosta [38]

Explanation:

number of atoms = moles × avegadro number

so 5.55 × 10^2 = moles × 6.023 × 10^23

moles = 5.55 × 10^2 ÷ 6.023 × 10^23 = 9.214×10−22 moles
