Decay is a type of degradation reaction and thus is considered a first order reaction. thus the formula goes like this.
rate constant= 0.693/half life
so here...
rate constant= 0.693/1620 year^-1
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
The symbol of the period five element that is a member of the pnicitides family are antimony.
Explanation:
Pnictogen family
- In periodic table, column 15 elements are Pnitogen family.
- The pnictogen elements are Nitrogen-N, arsenic-As, phosphorus-P, bismuth-Bi, antimony-Sb, ununpentium-Uup.
- There are five valence electrons each member of pnictogen family. In group 15 double bonds and triple bonds are formed due to these valence electrons.
- Pnictides, binary compounds of group 15.
Antimony
- Antimony is the element found in period 5 and block p.
- A chemical element, Antimony (Sb) from Latin word stibium and 51 is its atomic number. It is in solid state.
- In ancient times, antimony compounds are used as cosmetic and medicine.
- Appeared as semi metal.
- Electronic configurations of Sb is [Kr] 4d105s25p3.
