Answer:
HNO3(aq) + OH-(aq) → NO3-(aq) + H2O(l)
Explanation:
According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a substance that donates a proton (H+) and produces a conjugate base while a base is a molecule or ion which accepts the proton.
An example of Bronsted-Lowry acid and base is Nitric acid, HNO3 and hydroxide ion, OH- respectively as shown in the given reaction.
Thus, the nitric acid acts as an acid by donating a proton to the hydroxide ion which accepts it, thus producing nitrate ion, NO3- as a conjugate base, while OH- produces H2O as a conjugate acid.
Since the given formula is . According to cross method formula, magnesium has +2 charge so, is multiplied by 2.
Thus, 1 molecule of magnesium phosphate will contain 2 atoms of phosphorus.
Therefore, three molecules of magnesium phosphate contains following number of atoms.
Mg = 9
P = 6
O = 24
Hence, we can conclude that there are 6 atoms of phosphorus in three molecules of magnesium phosphate, .
A solution may exist in any phase so your answer is D. any of the above
hope this helps :)
