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
Answer: acid
Explanation: it dissolves in water to produce hydronium ion as the only positive ion
Answer:
V = 2.32 Liters
Explanation:
PV = nRT => V = nRT/P
n = 25.8g/122g/mole = 0.21 mole
R = 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K
T = 25.44°C + 273 = 298.44K
P = 2.22 atm (given in problem)
V = (0.21mol)(0.08206 L·atm/mol·K)(298.44K)/(2.22atm) = 2.32 Liters at 25.44°C & 2.22atm
