Let the oxidation number of P be x.  

We know that oxidation number of Na= +1, O= -2  

therefore,  3*1 + x+ 4* -2 = 0 (net charge on the molecule)  

3 + x - 8 =0  

x = +5  

therefore, the answer is C)+5

What physical property difference enabled you to Seperate salt from water?
elena55 [62]
<span>The two techniques for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid are filtration and centrifuging. Filtration relies on the fact that the solid particles are smaller than the filter paper pores which allow the tiny molecules of liquid to pass through. With solids which dissolve in a liquid solvent, evaporation is commonly used to recover the solid and distillation is used to recover the solvent.</span>

sound travels slower in colder air than it does in warmer air why does the speed of sound depend on air temperature
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of sound in the air mainly depends on temperature. At high altitudes, where it is much colder, sound travels slower. The higher the temperature, the faster the air molecules are moving to begin with, and the quicker they bump into each other as a sound wave passes through.
