3 0

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!

What is the density of a cube that has a mass of 25 g in a volume of 125 cm 3
GalinKa [24]

<span>The density of an object is defined to be its mass divided by the volume it occupies. For this problem, the mass of the cube was given to be 25 g while its volume is 125 cm</span>³. Thus, we simply divide 25 g by 125 cm³ to get the object’s density. We then calculate that the cube has a density of 0.2 g/ cm³.

In this experiment, 0.070 g of caffeine is dissolved in 4.0mL of water. The caffeine is extracted from the aqueous solution thre
Len [333]

Answer:

0.068 g

Explanation:

The equation that is used to determine the fraction q remaining in water of volume V₁ after n extractions of volume V₂ is:

qⁿ = (V₁/(V₁ + KV₂))ⁿ

Substituting in the values gives the fraction of caffeine left in the water phase:

q³ = (4.0mL/(4.0mL + 4.6(2.0mL))³ = 0.0278

The fraction of caffeine extracted into the methylene chloride phase is:

1 - 0.0278 = 0.972

The amount of caffeine extracted into the methylene chloride is:

(0.070g)(0.972) = 0.068 g

1.2 What type of bonding occurs when hydrogen form a diatomic molecule?​
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

I think it is covalent bonding...

Explanation:

The bonding is covalent in homonuclear diatomic molecules. Each atom in the molecule has the same electronegativity, which means electrons are shared equally between the two. The electronegativity of the atoms in heteronuclear diatomic molecules varies, and these molecules have polar covalent bonds. A dipole is formed when a molecule interacts with another molecule. (i think it's covalent bonding but i might be wrong)

hope this helps...
