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

How many molecules are contaiined in 125 grams of water, H2O?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Water has a molar mass of 18.015 g/mol . This means that one mole of water molecules has a mass of 18.015 g . So, to sum this up, 6.022⋅1023 molecules of water will amount to 1 mole of water, which in turn will have a mass of 18.015 g . 2.7144moles H2O ⋅6.022⋅1023molec.

How many molecules of O2 are in 153.9 g O2?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

2.895*10^24

Explanation:

mass of Oxygen give = 153.9g

molar mass of O2 molecule = 16*2=32g/mol

n= mole

To find the mole

n= mass/ molar mass

n= 153.9/32

n=4.81mol.

To find the number of molecules of o

Nm= number of molecule

Nn = Number of mole

NA = number of Avogados

Nm= Nn * NA

Nm= 4.81 *6.02*10^23

Nm= 2.895*10^24

Which metal ions can be precipitated out of solution as chlorides?a. Ag+, Hg2+, Co2+b. Cu2+, Cd2+, Bi3+ c. Ag+, Hg22+, Pb2+ d. N
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the qualitative analysis of metal salts , we see that in group I , metal chlorides are precipitated out . It is so because their metal chlorides are insoluble in water  .

In this group following metal ions are present

Ag+,

Hg₂²⁺

Pb²⁺
