Given that nitrogen forms three bonds with hydrogen to make

Answer:

Three hydrogen atoms to form PH₃.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the elements belonging to the nitrogen family (N, P, As, Sb and Bi) show five valence electrons, because there are five electrons at their outer shell, it is clear that if phosphorous bonds with hydrogen, it is going to require the same amount of oxygen atoms (3) because elements having five valence electrons need 3 bonds in order to attain the octet (5+3=8).

Therefore the compound would be:

$PH_3$

Which is phosphine.

Best regards!

Chlorine can be prepared in the laboratory by the reaction of manganese dioxide with hydrochloric acid, HCl(aq), as

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

MnO₂(s) + 4 HCl(aq) = MnCl₂(aq) + 2 H₂O(l) + Cl₂

87 g 22.4 x 10³ mL

volume of given chlorine gas at NTP or at 760 Torr and 273 K

= 175 x ( 273 + 25 ) x 715 / (273 x 760 )

= 179.71 mL

22.4 x 10³ mL of chlorine requires 87 g of MnO₂

179.4 mL of chlorine will require 87 x 179.4 / 22.4 x 10³ g

= 696.77 x 10⁻³ g

= 696.77 mg .

Must show units and how they cancelli 1.) 175 km to um 3.) 385 nm to dm 5.) 492 um tom 7.) 52 x 103 dm to mm 9.) 321x 1035 mm to

morpeh [17]

Explanation:

1.) 175 km to μm

$1 km=10^9 \mu m$

$175 km=175\times 10^9\mu m=1.75\times 10^{11} \mu m$

3.) 385 nm to dm

$1 nm=10^{-8} dm$

$385 nm=385\times 10^{-8} dm=3.85\times 10^{-6} dm$

5.) 492 μm to m

1 μm = $10^{-6} m$

$492 \μm=492\times 10^{-6} m=4.92\times 10^{-4} m$

7.) $52\times 10^3$ dm to mm

1 dm = 100 mm

$52\times 10^3 dm=52\times 10^3\times 100 mm=5.2\times 10^{6}dm$

9.) $321\times 10^{35}$ mm to km

$1 mm = 10^{-6} km$

$321\times 10^{35} mm=321\times 10^{35}\times 10^{-6} km=3.21\times 10^{31} km$

11.) $456\times 10^3$ m to km

m = 0.001 km

$456\times 10^3m =456\times 10^3 m\times 0.001 km=456 km$

13.) $422\times 10^3$ m to nm

$1 m = 10^{9} nm$

$422\times 10^3 m=422\times 10^3\times 10^{9} nm=4.22\times 10^{14} nm$

15.) $4.87\times 10^{30}$ m to pm

$1 m = 10^{12} pm$

$4.87\times 10^{30} m=4.87\times 10^{30}\times 10^{12} pm=4.82\times 10^{42} pm$

17.) $5.26\times 10^3$ m to um

1 m = $10^{6} \mu m$

$5.26\times 10^3 m=5.26\times 10^3\times 10^6 \mu m=5.26\times 10^{9} \mu m$

19.) $1.25\times 10^{35}$ m to Mm

1 m = $10^{-6} Mm$

$1.25\times 10^{35} m=1.25\times 10^{35}\times 10^{-6} Mm=1.25\times 10^{-29} Mm$

21.) $4.22\times 10^3$ Tm to nm

$1 Tm = 10^{21} nm$

$4.22\times 10^3 Tm=4.22\times 10^3\times 10^{21} nm=4.22\times 10^{24} nm$
