The oxidation state of phosphorus is +3 in

Chemistry

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

nignag [31]

In the given case, the scientist should use a circle graph or pie chart.  

One can dissect a circle into smaller segments, a component of the circle is known as an arc and an arc is named on the basis of its angle. A pie chart, or a circle graph, is used to visualize data and information.  

A circle graph is generally used to demonstrate the outcomes of an examination in a proportional way. In a circle graph, the arcs are proportional to how many percents of the population gave a particular answer.
