Chemistry

nignag [31]2 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.

A 50.0 mL sample of 12.0 M HCl is diluted to 200 mL. What is true about the diluted solution?
kobusy [5.1K]

The concentration of the solution reduces and the number of moles of solute isn't affected.

Data;

  • V1 = 50mL
  • C1 = 12.0M
  • V2 = 200mL
  • C2 = ?
<h3>Facts about the diluted solution</h3>

1. When the solution is diluted, the concentration changes and this time, the concentration reduces.

Using dilution formula

c_1 v_1 = c_2 v_2\\12 * 50 = c_2 * 200\\c_2 = \frac{600}{200} \\c_2 = 3M

The concentration of the solution reduces.

2. The number of moles remains the same.

When a solution is diluted, the number of moles remains the same because there's no change in the mass of the solute.

Hi May I know what is the answer and how to get it
Trava [24]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

When lead ions and sulfate ions bond, they form sediment so neither a nor b can be the answer.

The important thing is that two nitrate ions were originally bonded with one lead ion, while two potassium ions bonded with a sulfate ion.

Finally, since potassium and nitrate ions don't form sediment these two ions must remain. Therefore the answer is D

What is the molarity of 1 mole of HCl in 5 liters of solution?
kicyunya [14]
Molarity = moles of solute(HCl)
                  ------------------------------------
                   volume of the solution
               
                =   1
                    ------
                     5 
               
                =  0.2M.

Hence option B is correct.
Hope this helps!!
