The correct answer is (a)
It is composed of one phosphorus atom and four oxygen atoms covalently bonded together, and there is a –3 charge distributed over the entire ion.
The explanation:
- the bond between oxygen and phosphorus is covalently.
when A covalent bond is a bond in which electrons are shared. \nd the ionic bond, electrons are completely transferred. In this case phosphate ion (PO4)-3 is covalent.
- that's means that the choice C and D don't be the correct answer.
-Additionally, since the charge is on the oxygen atoms due to the bonding with phosphorus, so we can say that the charge is on the entire ion and not just on the phosphorus atom so,the answer B also not the correct answer.
and the correct one is (A)
So there are three formulas that you must be aware of hen attempting these questions (by technicality, only two because the third is a transposition of the second).
These formulas are :
mole x L = # of atoms (where L = Avogadro's Constant)
mass / Mr = mole (where Mr = Molar Mass)
Mole x Mr = mass
So no we can easily ace these questions
1) a. 98.3 g of Hg
mass of Hg = 98.3g
Mr " " = 201 g / mol
mole =
= 0.489 mol
∴ # of atoms = 0.489 mol * (6.03 * 10²³)
= 2.95 * 10²³ atoms
c. 10.7g of Li
mass of Li = 10.7 g
Mr " " = 7 g / mol
thus mole =
= 1.529 mol
# of atoms = 1.529 mol * (6.03 * 10²³)
= 9.22 * 10²³
2) a. 6.84 g of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁
mass of sucrose = 6.84 g
Mr " " = ∑ (Mr of each element * amount of each element's atom)
= ∑ [(12 * 12)+(1 * 12)+(16 * 11)] g / mol
= 342 g / mol
∴ mole of sucrose =
= 0.02 mol
c) 68.0g of NH<span>₃</span>
<span> mass of NH₃ = 68.0 g</span>
<span> Mr " " = [(14 * 1) + ( 1 * 3)] g / mol</span>
<span> ∴ mole of NH₃ = </span>
= 4 mol
3) a. 3.52 mol of Si
mole of Si = 3.52 mol
Mr " " = 28 g / mol
Mass = 3.52 mol * 28 g / mol
= 98.56 g
c. 0.550 mol of F₂
mol of F₂ = 0.55 mol
Mr " " = (19 * 2 ) g / mol
Mass = 0.55 mol * 38 g / mol
= 20.9 g
Hope I as clear in my answers and that they helped
Of what lol. dndkdmsldksmsnsjdjdbdh
