Answer:

+3

12 electrons and 15 protons.

Explanation:

The element having 15 electrons and 15 protons have atomic number 15. We know that when an atom lose or gain the electron ions are formed.

Anion formation:

Anion is formed when electron is accept by an atom.

X + e⁻ → X⁻

Cation formation:

Cation is formed when electron lose be an atom.

X → X⁺ + e⁻

The given atom loses 3 electrons thus oxidation number will be +3 and cation is formed.

X → X³⁺ + 3e⁻

Now element X have 15 protons and 12 electrons.

A 4.000 g sample of iron was heated from 0.0°C to 21.0°C. If it has a specific heat of 0.440 kJ/kg °C, how many kilojoules of he
Mashutka [201]
M = 4 g = 4/1000 kg = 0.004 kg, θ₂ = 21.0°C, θ₁ = 0°C , c = 0.44kJ/kg°C,

Q = mc(θ₂ - θ₁)

Q = 0.004*0.440*(21 - 0)

Q  =  0.03696 kJ 

0.03696 kJ<span> of heat is absorbed.</span>

Which is the Lewis structure for H3PO4?
Fed [463]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • The correct structure of phosphoric acid is A.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

  • P should form five covalent bonds. In this strcuture P form three single bond with 3-hydroxyl groups while one single bondformed with oxygen. As oxygen will form two bonds , it carry negative charge, while P should form five bond but here it is forming 4 bonds due to this P has positive charge but overall structure contain neutral charge due to cancellation of positive and negative charges. Beside this, there are 3 H,  Four O and One P according to formula H3PO4.

There are 50 fish in the pond that have tags. You catch 25 fish, and 5 of them have tags. What is the best estimate of the numbe
sergeinik [125]

Answer: 250


Explanation:


You work this problem by using proportions.


A proportion is the equalization of two ratios.


Here you assume that the ratio of fish with tags to total fish that you catch is the same than the ratio of fish with tags to total fish in the pond.


Mathematically:

  • 5 fish with tag / 25 fish = 50 fish with tag / x
  • 5 / 25 = 50 / x

Solve for x:

  • Multiplication property of equality: x × 5 = 50 × 25
  • Division property of equality: x = 50 × 25 / 5
  • Result: 250
