Answer: Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

In diphosphorus pentoxide there will be two phosphorous atoms and 5 oxygen atoms according to its name.

Therefore, the formula for diphosphorus pentoxide will be P_{2}O_{5} and it is a solid.

Thus, the correct skeleton equation for the reaction that takes place when solid phosphorus combines with oxygen gas to form diphosphorus pentoxide will be as follows.

                 P(s)+ O_{2}(g) \rightarrow P_{2}O_{5}(s)

Hey there! 

Answer: Protons 

The atom in a sample of an element must contain nuclei with the same number of protons. If the protons change in number, then the element will modify as well. 

Thank you!

Compare and contrast 10kg of melting ice and 1kg of freezing water address temperature heat flow thermal energy what is the simp
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

10 kg of ice will require more energy than the released when 1 kg of water is frozen because the heat of phase transition increases as the mass increases.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the melting phase transition occurs when the solid goes to liquid and the freezing one when the liquid goes to solid, we can infer that melting is a process which requires energy to separate the molecules and freezing is a process that releases energy to gather the molecules.

Moreover, since the required energy to melt 1 g of ice is 334 J and the released energy when 1 g of water is frozen to ice is the same 334 J, if we want to melt 10 kg of ice, a higher amount of energy well be required in comparison to the released energy when 1 kg of water freezes, which is about 334000 J for the melting of those 10 kg of ice and only 334 J for the freezing of that 1 kg of water.

Best regards!

Can someone answer dis:
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

If we subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass: atomic mass - atomic number = number of protons + number of neutrons - number of protons. Thus we get the number of neutrons present in an atom when we subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.

Explanation: hope this helps???

how much heat will be absorbed by 25g of chloroform when its temperature started at 67.0C and after it was 112.0C
snow_tiger [21]

Hello friend ☺

ΔH = MCΔT

ΔH = to the amount of energy or change in energy (J)

mass of water

C = waters specific heat capacity

ΔT = change in temperature

and so ΔH = 25 × 4.18 × ( 112-67 ) J = 4702.5 J

Thanks ❤
