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)

9.86 x 10²⁸ O-atoms require what volume (L) N₂O₂ at STP?
jolli1 [7]
First, we use avogadro's number to convert atoms into moles. Then, relate the number of moles from elemental to the compound. Lastly, we use conditions at STP to calculate the volume. We do as follows:

<span>9.86 x 10²⁸ O-atoms ( 1 mol / 6.022x10^23 atoms O) ( 1 mol N2O2 / 2 mol O ) ( 22.4 L / 1 mol ) = 1833809.37 L needed</span>
