Answer:
d. p3-
Explanation:
Phosphorus has fifteen electrons in its orbitals and five electrons in its outermost shell. An atom is said to have noble gas configuration when it has eight electron in its outermost shell.
In order to have eight electrons in its outermost shell, phosphorus must accept three electrons and form an ion of the sort P^3-. This ion now has eighteen electrons (argon configuration) and eight electrons in the outermost shell.
Answer:
It is not an oxidation-reduction reaction. The formation of carbon dioxide and water are redox reactions which involve the oxidation of carbon and hydrogen respectively with oxygen being reduced in both the case.
Explanation:
Answer:
61.39%
Explanation:
The percent yield of a substance can be calculated using the formula:
Percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield × 100%
Based on the information provided on the reaction in this question, the theoretical yield is given as 99.2g while the actual yield is given as 60.9g.
Hence, the percent yield is calculated thus:
% yield = 60.9/99.2 × 100
% yield = 0.6139 × 100
% yield = 61.39%
The percent yield is 61.39%

If you know your gas laws, you have to utilize a certain gas law called Charles' Law:
V

T

=
V

T

V
1
is the initial volume,
T
1
is initial temperature,
V
2
is final volume,
T
2
is final temperature.
Remember to convert Celsius values to Kelvin whenever you are dealing with gas problems. This can be done by adding 273 to whatever value in Celsius you have.
Normally in these types of problems (gas law problems), you are given all the variables but one to solve. In this case, the full setup would look like this:

By cross multiplying, we have...

V

= 874.5
Dividing both sides by 291 to isolate
V

, we get...
V

= 3.005...
In my school, we learnt that we use the Kelvin value in temperature to count significant figures, so in this case, the answer should have 3 sigfigs.
Therefore,
V

= 3.01 L
Because the molecules are more spread apart.
(gas spread)
