Answer:

The mass percentage composition of nitrogen in the sample of the cleaning detergent is approximately 16.78%  

Explanation:

The given mass of the sample of the cleaning detergent, m₁ = 20.5 g

The mass of the ammonium hydroxide, NH₄OH in the detergent, m₂ = 8.61 g

The molar mass of NH₄OH = 35.04 g/mol

The molar mass of nitrogen, N = 14.01 g/mol

Therefore, the mass, m₃ of nitrogen, N, in 8.61 g of ammonium hydroxide, NH₄OH, is found as follows;

m₃ = (14.01/35.04) × 8.61 g = (402,087/118,800) g ≈ 3.44 g

The mass of nitrogen, N, in the ammonium hydroxide, NH₄OH, contained in the 20.5 g sample of the cleaning agent, m₃ ≈ 3.44 grams

The percentage composition of nitrogen in the sample of the cleaning detergent, %N is given as follows;

\% Composition = \dfrac{Mass \ of \ component}{Total \ mass \ of \ cleaning \ detergent} \times 100

Therefore;

%N ≈ ((3.44 g)/(20.5 g)) × 100 ≈ 16.78 %

The percentage composition of nitrogen, %N ≈ 16.78%.

The oxidation state of phosphorus is +3 in
IgorC [24]

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

what is the region surrounding the nucleus which is occupied by electrons?????? its a crossword ( _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ C _ _ _ _)
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Electron cloud

Explanation:

The electron cloud is an informal term in chemistry and physics. This region describes the negatively charged electrons in their orbit surrounding the nucleus in an atom. The nucleus has protons in it that have a positive charge on it. It is not easy to know where exactly an electron in any specific time but the electron cloud helps to know electron is moving in this specific area.
