nignag [31]3 years ago
7 0

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.

How many sulfur atoms are generated when 9.42 moles of H2S react according to the following equation: 2H2S+SO2→3S+2H2O
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

A) 8.51 × 10²⁴  

Explanation:

1. Gather all the information

            2H₂S + SO₂ ⟶ 3S + 2H₂O

n/mol:   9.42

2. Calculate the moles of S atoms

The molar ratio is 3 mol S:2 mol H₂S

\text{Moles of S} = \text{9.42 mol H$_{2}$S} \times \dfrac{\text{3 mol S }}{\text{2 mol H$_{2}$S }} = \text{14.13 mol S}

3. Calculate the atoms of S

\text{Atoms of S } = \text{14.13 mol S} \times \dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ S atoms}}{\text{1 mol S}} = \mathbf{8.51 \times 10^{24}}\textbf{ S atoms}
