The oxidation state of phosphorus is +3 in

Chemistry

IgorC [24]3 years ago

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

The number of C atoms in 0.524 moles of C is 3.15 atoms.

The number of SO_2 molecules in 9.87 moles  SO_2 is 59.43 molecules.

The moles of Fe in 1.40 x 10^{22} atoms of Fe is 0.23 x 10^{-1}

The moles of C_2H_6O in 2.30x10^{24} molecules of C_2H_6O is 3.81.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × 10^{23} of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

A. The number of C atoms in 0.524 mole of C:

6.02214076 × 10^{23} x 0.524 mole

3.155601758 atoms =3.155 atoms

B. The number of SO_2 molecules in 9.87 moles of SO_2:

6.02214076 × 10^{23} x 9.87

59.4385293 molecules= 59.43 molecules

C. The moles of Fe in 1.40 x 10^{22} atoms of Fe:

1.40 x 10^{22} ÷ 6.02214076 × 10^{23}

0.2324754694 x 10^{-1} moles.

0.23 x 10^{-1} moles.

D. The moles of C_2H_6O in 2.30x10^{24} molecules of C_2H_6O:

2.30x10^{24} ÷ 6.02214076 × 10^{23}

3.819239854 moles=3.81 moles

The three lines in this Lewis dot structure represent the.
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

B) . six electrons in the triple bond of diatomic nitrogen

Explanation:

The three line in this Lewis dot structure represents the six electrons in the triple bond of diatomic nitrogen.

Nitrogen is made up of 7 electrons with 5 valence ones.

 A lewis structure is made up of the symbol of the element surrounded by dot to represent the valence electrons.

  In this nitrogen molecule, both species share  6 electrons. This makes each nitrogen atom isoelectronic with neon.
