The oxidation state of phosphorus is +3 in

Chemistry
1 answer:
IgorC [24]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

b) Phosphorus acid

Explanation:

To distinguish the type of acid of phosphorus with the oxidation state of +3, we need to be familiar with the chemical formula of each of the compounds:

    Orthophosphoric acid             H₃PO₄

    Phosphorus acid                       H₃PO₃

    Metaphosphoric acid               HPO₃

    Phyrophosphoric acid​               H₄P₂O₇

Now that we know the formula of the given compounds, the algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero:

Only phosphorus acid yielded an oxidation state of +3 for phosphorus in the compound.

  H₃PO₃:

   we know the oxidation state of H = +1

                                                          O = -2

         The oxidation state of P is unknown. We can express this as an equation:

                3(+1) + P + 3(-2) = 0

                    3 + P -6 = 0

                          P-3 = 0

                          P = +3

Fill in the missing mass number and atomic number for each of these particles or types of radiation.
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Particle /                          mass number                atomic number

type of radiation

alpha / ⁴₂ He                              4                                     2

beta / e⁰                                     0                                   - 1

gamma / γ                                  0                                     0

neutron / n                                 1                                      0

Explanation:

These are the basic types of <em>radiation</em>: <em>alpha </em>(α)<em>, beta </em>(β)<em>,  gamma </em>(γ), and neutrons (n).

The radiation is emitted by unstable nuclei when undergo radiactive decay or by nuclei that are shooted by other particles.

<u><em /></u>

<em><u>Alpha radiation</u></em><u> (⁴₂ He):</u>

They are nuclei of helium-4 atoms: 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

Hence, the atomic number, which is the number of protons,  of these particles, is 2; and the mass number, which is the sum of protons and neutrons, is 2 + 2 = 4.

The symbol of this radiation is ⁴₂ He, where the superscript to the left of the chemical symbol is the mass number and the subscript to the left of the chemical symbol is the atomic number.

<em><u>Beta</u></em><u> (⁰₋ ₁ e)</u>

These are electrons emiited from an unstable nucleus. The symbols used for this particle are either ⁰₋ ₁β or ⁰₋ ₁e.

The superscript 0 indicates that the relative mass of this particle is practically zero and the subscript -1 tells that the emission of electrons increases the atomic number of the nucleus that emits it.

<em><u>Gamma</u></em><u> (⁰₀γ)</u>

The gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation of high (the highest) energy.

The both superscript and subscript are zero, meaning that this radiation does not change either the mass or atomic numbers of the nucleus.

<em><u>Neutron</u></em><u> (¹₀n):</u>

Neutrons are also emiited from the nucleus and so they may be considered a radiation.

The atomic number of neutrons is 0 (since it does not have protons) and its mass number is 1.

What mass of sucrose (C12H22O11) should be combined with 488 g of water to make a solution with an osmotic pressure of 8.00 atm
VikaD [51]

Answer:

56 g of sucrose is the mass needed

Explanation:

Formula for osmotic pressure → π = M . R . T

8 atm = M . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 290 K

8 atm / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 290 K) = M → 0.336 mol/L

Let's determine the mass of sucrose that represents 0.336 mol

0.336 mol . 342 g / 1mol = 114.9 g

This is the mass that corresponds to 1L of solution, but we have 0.488 L

Solution density = 1 g/mL → 488 g are contained in 488 mL.

488 mL . 1L / 1000 mL = 0.488 L

Let's make a rule of three:

1L is the volume for 114.9 g of sucrose

In 0.488 L of volume, we need a mass of (0.488L . 114.9 g) 1L = 56 g
