In which species does phosphorous have the highest oxidation number?

Chemistry

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.

maksim [4K]

The fraction of the original amount remaining is closest to 1/128

<h3>Determination of the number of half-lives</h3>
  • Half-life (t½) = 4 days
  • Time (t) = 4 weeks = 4 × 7 = 28 days
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 28 / 4

n = 7

<h3>How to determine the amount remaining </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 100 g
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 7
  • Amount remaining (N)=?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 100 / 2⁷

N = 0.78125 g

<h3>How to determine the fraction remaining </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 100 g
  • Amount remaining (N)= 0.78125 g
  • Fraction remaining =?

Fraction remaining = N / N₀

Fraction remaining = 0.78125 / 100

Fraction remaining = 1/128

How are atoms related to balancing a chemical equation?
dmitriy555 [2]

Atoms are related to balancing equations because the amount of atoms on the left of the equation (reactants) needs to be the same amount on the right (products).

For example, 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

If you count the amount of hydrogen atoms on both sides each, there would be 4 (make sure to multiply the coefficient by the subscripts).

If you count the amount of oxygen atoms on both sides each, there will be 2 of them (2 in a molecule of oxygen)

I hope this helps and please mark me as brainliest!
