If element x forms the oxides xo and x2o3 the oxidation numbers of element x are
1 answer:
Answer:
b) +2 and +3.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the molecular formulas:
And:
We can relate the subscripts with the oxidation states by knowing that they are crossed when the compound is formed, for that reason, we notice that oxygen oxidation state should be -2 for both cases and the oxidation state of X in the first formula must be +2 since both X and O has one as their subscript as they were simplified:
Moreover, for the second case the oxidation state of X should be +3 in order to obtain 3 as the subscript of oxygen:
Thus, answer is b)+2 and +3
Best regards.

Answer:
The boiling point of a 8.5 m solution of Mg3(PO4)2 in water is<u> 394.91 K.</u>
Explanation:
The formula for molal boiling Point elevation is :
= elevation in boiling Point
= Boiling point constant( ebullioscopic constant)
m = molality of the solution
<em>i =</em> Van't Hoff Factor
Van't Hoff Factor = It takes into accounts,The abnormal values of Temperature change due to association and dissociation .
In solution Mg3(PO4)2 dissociates as follow :
Total ions after dissociation in solution :
= 3 ions of Mg + 2 ions of phosphate
Total ions = 5
<em>i =</em> Van't Hoff Factor = 5
m = 8.5 m
= 0.512 °C/m
Insert the values and calculate temperature change:
Boiling point of pure water = 100°C = 273.15 +100 = 373.15 K
= 373.15 K[/tex]
21.76 = T - 373.15
T = 373.15 + 21.76
T =394.91 K
