sphoric acid, used in cola soft drinks (b) NH4NO3, ammonium nitrate, a fertilizer and explosive (c) S2Cl2, disulfur dichloride, used in vulcanizing rubber (d) K4[O3POPO3], potassium pyrophosphate, an ingredient in some toothpastes

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The molecular geometry of an atom is connected to the number of electron pairs that surround it(whether lone pairs or bonding pairs) as well as its hybridization state. We shall now examine the N, P, or S atoms in each of the following compounds.

a)

In H3PO4, P has a tetrahedral molecular geometry and is sp3 hybridized.

b) In NH4NO3

N is sp3 hybridized in NH4^+ and sp2 hybridized in NO3^-. Also, N is tetrahedral in NH4^+ but trigonal planar in NO3^-.

c) In S2Cl2, we expect a tetrahedral geometry but as a result of the presence of two lone pairs on each sulphur atom, the molecular geometry is bent. The sulphur is sp3 hybridized.

d) In K4[O3POPO3], each phosphorus atom is in a tetrahedral molecular geometry and is sp3 hybridized.

What is biological oxygen demand
jek_recluse [69]

Hey there!!

Biological Oxygen demand is the amount of dissolved oxygen needed  by aerobic biological organisms to break down organic material present in a given water sample at certain temperature over a specific time period.

Hope this helped you and have a fantastic day! (:

Calculate the percentage composition of Mg3 (Po4)2
lutik1710 [3]
Mg3(PO4)2 - the molar mass would be 262g/mol, which is 100%

Atomic mass of Mg is 24, since we have 3Mg we multiply by 3 and get a mass of 72

262 : 100% = 72 : x%

x = 72*100 / 262

x = 27.5%

And do that for every element — get the molar mass of P and multiply by 2, use a ratio, and get the molar mass of O and multiply by 8 and use ratios :)
