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 is the potential energy of your 3 kg puppy that is sitting in the grass in your backyard?
lisov135 [29]

As we know that

P.E. = mgh

where,

P.E. = Potential energy of the object =?

m= mass of object= 3kg

g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 ms^-2

h = height between object and animal = 0 m

Then

P.E. = 3× 9.8 × 0 = 0 Joules or 0J
