Answer:
b) Phosphorus acid
Explanation:
To distinguish the type of acid of phosphorus with the oxidation state of +3, we need to be familiar with the chemical formula of each of the compounds:
Orthophosphoric acid H₃PO₄
Phosphorus acid H₃PO₃
Metaphosphoric acid HPO₃
Phyrophosphoric acid H₄P₂O₇
Now that we know the formula of the given compounds, the algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero:
Only phosphorus acid yielded an oxidation state of +3 for phosphorus in the compound.
H₃PO₃:
we know the oxidation state of H = +1
O = -2
The oxidation state of P is unknown. We can express this as an equation:
3(+1) + P + 3(-2) = 0
3 + P -6 = 0
P-3 = 0
P = +3
<span>1. The correct option is A, THE OXYGEN ATOM HAS A NEGATIVE CHARGE. A water molecule is made up of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. The molecules of water are arranged in such a way that, the negative hydrogen atom is attracted to the positive hydrogen atom and the overall structure is bent. Because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, oxygen atom draws the shared electrons toward itself , this gives the oxygen end of the molecule a partial negative charge and the hydrogen end, a partial positive charge.
2. The correct option is: WITHOUT THE PROPER BALANCE OF WATER, CHEMICAL REACTIONS WILL NOT TAKE PLACE. Metabolic chemical reactions take place in living cells all the time because water, which is a necessary condition for the reaction is in place. Th fluids find in the cells are mostly water; water creates suitable conditions for biochemical reactions to take place. Without water, the cells will not be able to carry out any chemical reaction.
3. The correct option is A. Hydrogen bond allows oxygen and water molecules to be bonded together. Hydrogen bonds are weak interactions that formed between the hydrogen with a patial positive end and oxygen with a patial negative end. The hydrogen bond in water is responsible for the unique properties associated with water.</span><span />
Answer:
H₃PO₄ → 3H⁺ + PO₄³⁻
CaSO₄ → Ca²⁺ + SO₄²⁻
b. CaCl₂
Explanation:
When H₃PO₄ is dissolved in water, there are produced the H⁺ and PO₄³⁻ ions. The equation is:
H₃PO₄ → 3H⁺ + PO₄³⁻
In the same way, CaSO₄ is dissolved in:
CaSO₄ → Ca²⁺ + SO₄²⁻
b. Now, in a reaction of an acid (HCl) and a base (Ca(OH)₂), water, H₂O and a salt are produced:
2 HCl + Ca(OH)₂ → 2H₂O + Salt
The ions that are not present in the reaction are Cl⁻ and Ca²⁺, the salt is CaCl₂ and the balanced reaction is:
2 HCl + Ca(OH)₂ → 2H₂O + CaCl₂
The correct option is C.
The issue of disposal of waste of nuclear power plants has been a controversial issue for long because of the hazardous effects which these wastes have on human health and the environment. Most of the waste are usually long lived radioactive wastes which can remain active for a very long time and which have detrimental effect on both the environment and the human health.<span />
