Na⁺¹₃P⁺⁵O⁻²₄

+1*3 + (+5) + (-2*4) = 0

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

At room temperature (20°C} and pressure, the density of air is 1.189 g/L. An object will float in air if its density is less tha

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Explanation:

$Density =\frac{Mass}[Volume}$

Density of the air ,d= 1.189 g/L

(a) Density of the evacuated ball

Mass of the ball ,m = 0.12 g

Volume of the ball = $V=560 cm^3=560 ml=0.560 L$

$D =\frac{0.12 g}{0.560 L}=0.214 g/L$

D<d, teh evacuated ball will flaot in air.

(b) Density of the evacuated ball D = 0.214 g/L

Density of carbon dioxide gas = $d_1=1.830 g/L$

Mass of the carbon dioxide gas :

$1.830 g/L\times 0.560 L=1.0248 g$

Total density of filled ball with carbon dioxide gas:

$\frac{0.12 g+1.0248 g}{0.560 L}==2.044 g/L$

The ball filled with carbon dioxide will not float in the air because total density of filled ball is greater than the density of an air.

(c) Density of the evacuated ball D = 0.214 g/L

Density of hydrogen gas = $d_2=0.0899 g/L$

Mass of the hydrogen gas :

$1.830 g/L\times 0.560 L=0.050344 g$

Total density of filled ball with hydrogen gas:

$\frac{0.12 g+0.050344 g}{0.560 L}==0.3041 g/L$

The ball filled with hydrogen will float in the air because total density of filled ball is lessor than the density of an air.

(d) Density of the evacuated ball D = 0.214 g/L

Density of oxygen gas = $d_3=1.330 g/L$

Mass of the oxygen gas :

$1.330 g/L\times 0.560 L=1.7448 g$

Total density of filled ball with oxygen gas:

$\frac{0.12 g+1.7448 g}{0.560 L}=1.5442 g/L$

The ball filled with oxygen will not float in the air because total density of filled ball is greater than the density of an air.

(e) Density of the evacuated ball D = 0.214 g/L

Density of nitrogen gas = $d_4=1.165 g/L$

Mass of the nitrogen gas :

$1.165 g/L\times 0.560 L=0.6524 g$

Total density of filled ball with nitrogen gas:

$\frac{0.12 g+0.6524 g}{0.560 L}==1.3792 g/L$

The ball filled with nitrogen will not float in the air because total density of filled ball is greater than the density of an air.

f) Mass must be added to sink the ball = m

Density of ball > Density of the air ; to sink the ball.

$\frac{0.12g +m}{0.560L}>1.189 g/L$

m > 0.54584 g

For any case weight added to ball to make it sink in an air should be grater than the value of 0.54584 grams.

Burning of paper is chemical change why? write with reaction.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Burning of paper is not a physical change.It is chemical change as ash is formed in the process which is new compound and oxides of carbon are also released during the process!

An equilibrium mixture of PCl 5 ( g ) , PCl 3 ( g ) , and Cl 2 ( g ) has partial pressures of 217.0 Torr, 13.2 Torr, and 13.2 To

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: The new partial pressures of $PCl_5,PCl_3\text{ and }Cl_2$ when equilibrium is re-established are 223.4 torr, 6.82 torr and 26.4 torr respectively.

Explanation:

For the given chemical reaction:

$PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)$

The expression of $K_p$ for above reaction follows:

$K_p=\frac{P_{PCl_5}}{P_{PCl_3}\times P_{Cl_2}}$ ........(1)

We are given:

$P_{PCl_5}=217.0torr$

$P_{PCl_3}=13.2torr$

$P_{Cl_2}=13.2torr$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=\frac{217.0}{13.2\times 13.2}\\\\K_p=1.24$

Now we have to calculate the new partial pressure of $Cl_2$ .

$P_{PCl_5}+P_{PCl_3}+P_{Cl_2}=P_{Total}$

$217.0torr+13.2torr+P_{Cl_2}=263.0torr$

$P_{Cl_2}=32.8torr$

The reaction is re-established and proceed to right direction by Le-Chatelier's principle to cancel the effect of addition of $Cl_2$ .

Now, the equilibrium is shifting to the reactant side. The equation follows:

$PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)$

Initial: 13.2 32.8 217.0

At eqm: 13.2-x 32.8-x 217.0+x

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$1.24=\frac{(217.0+x)}{(13.2-x)(32.8-x)}\\\\x=40.4,6.38$

Neglecting the 40.4 value of 'x' because pressure can not be more than initial partial pressure.

Thus, the value of 'x' will be, 6.38 torr.

Now we have to calculate the new partial pressures after equilibrium is reestablished.

Partial pressure of $PCl_5$ = (217.0+x) = (217.0+6.38) = 223.4 torr

Partial pressure of $PCl_3$ = (13.2-x) = (13.2-6.38) = 6.82 torr

Partial pressure of $Cl_2$ = (32.8-x) = (32.8-6.38) = 26.4 torr

Hence, the new partial pressures of $PCl_5,PCl_3\text{ and }Cl_2$ when equilibrium is re-established are 223.4 torr, 6.82 torr and 26.4 torr respectively.
