how do the differences in the polyatomic ions po3^3- and po4^3- help you determine whether each ends in -ite or -ate

Explanation:

PO3^3- ==> The Phosphite anion

PO4^3 ==> The phosphate anion

Upon observation of both anions, what seems to be the differences?

Two can be spot.

The number of oxygen present and the oxidation number of phosphorus.

The difference in suffixes however is caused by the number of oxygen present.

Generally, in chemical nomenclature; -ate posseses more oxygen and =ite possess less oxygen.

A typical example is Nitrate and nitrite;

Nitrate ==> NO3-

Nitrite ==> NO2-

The suffixes -ite and -ate depends on which polyatomic ion has more oxygen atoms.
-ite (less oxygen) 
-ate (more oxygen)

Sliva [168]
Answer: A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which its components retain their identity. Why: Heterogeneous mixtures have several parts which can't be separated, like an italian dressing. Therefore, it's prefix is (hetero), which means something along the lines of "different". In a homogeneous mixture, it can be separated, and the prefix (homo) means "same".

The weight itself technically will not change. The pull of gravity lessens, making it appear that it is lighter on the moon.

Paul J. Chirik developed methods associated with chemistry catalysis and transition metals, which may result useful for the development of manufacturing technologies.

<h3>What is catalysis?</h3>

Catalysis refers to the chemical processes that increase the rate of different types of reactions by lowering its activation energy.

Proteins (enzymes) are biological catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions in biological systems.

Catalysis may be reached by using transition metals (e.g., actinium and rutherfordium), which result useful in the development of manufacturing technologies.
