To illustrate the Lewis structure,
P has 5 valence electrons
O has 6 valence electrons (each for 4 oxygen)
And finally, for every negative charge, there is an additional valence electron

We should add these all up = 5 + 24 + 3 = 32 valence electrons

With this, we can be guided to illustrate the lewis structure as P as central atom and the 3 oxygen each with a single bond with P and 1 oxygen with a double bond with P. We place the valence electrons until octet rule is satisfied,
we will be left with 12 lone pairs for phosphate ion.

A neutron, I'm technically not really guessing but I'm kind of guessing because there's only 3 particles in a atom, a proton, neutron and electron, for only protons and neutrons live in the nucleus so be deduction would be neutrons.

Suppose that the root-mean-square velocity vrms of water molecules (molecular mass is equal to 18.0 g/mol) in a flame is found t
Zolol [24]

Answer:

T=954.41\ K

Explanation:

The expression for the root mean square speed is:

C_{rms}=\sqrt {\dfrac {3RT}{M}}

R is Gas constant having value = 8.314 J / K mol  

M is the molar mass of gas

Molar mass of water vapor = 18.0 g/mol  = 0.018 kg/mol

Temperature = ?

C_{rms}=1150  m/s

1150=\sqrt{\frac{3\times 8.314\times T}{0.018}}

1322500=\frac{24.942T}{0.018}

T=954.41\ K

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

It is the portion of internal energy that can be transferred from one substance to another.

Explanation:

Thermal energy is the energy obtained by an object due to the motion of its particles.

It is also known as internal energy as it is the energy within the particles due to their motion.

Therefore, we can conclude that it is the portion of internal energy that can be transferred from one substance to another.

Hope this helps!
