the compounds in which phosphorous posses the highest possible oxidation have to mention here.

The species in which phosphorous have the highest oxidation state are: H₃PO₄, P₂O₅, PCl₅

The possible oxidation state of phosphorous is III and V. The highest oxidation state is V. There are several compounds in which phosphorous posses the +5 oxidation state. Like- Phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄), phosphorous pentoxide (P₂O₅), Phosphorous chloride (PCl₅) etc.

The oxidation state of an element depends upon the valence electron the valence shell of phosphorous is 3s² 3p³. Thus there are 5 electrons, as it has vacant 3d orbital thus it can easily form compound having +5 oxidation state.

The chemical equation below shows the formation of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) from aluminum (Al) and oxygen (O2).
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Mass = 182.4 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Al₂O₃ = 3.80 mol

Mass of oxygen required = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

4Al + 3O₂    →       2Al₂O₃

Now we will compare the moles of aluminum oxide and oxygen.

                Al₂O₃           :           O₂

                   2               :            3

                 3.80            :         3/2×3.80 = 5.7

Mass of oxygen:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 5.7 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 182.4 g
