Answer: P+3e^-\rightarrow P^{3-}

Explanation: Phosphorous atom is the element with atomic number 15 and thus contains 15 electrons.

P:15:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3

Thus it is short of 3 electrons to attain stable noble gas configuration. Thus it gains three electrons and converts to phosphide ion (P^{3-}) with 18 electrons.

P^{3-}:18:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

From reference or science books, we can actually know that the elementary charge of phosphorus is -3. Since it is negative, this means that it has an excess of electrons, which further means that it takes up 3 electrons to become an ion. Therefore the equation can be written as:

One crystalline form of silica (SiO2) has a cubic unit cell, and from X-ray diffraction data it is known that the cell edge leng
Sav [38]

Answer:

8 Silicon atom are present in unit cell.

16 oxygen atoms are present unit cell.

Explanation:

Number of atoms in unit cell = Z =?

Density of silica = tex]2.32 g/cm^3[/tex]

Edge length of cubic unit cell = a  = 0.700 nm = 0.700\times 10^{-7} cm

1 nm=10^{-7} cm

Molar mass of Silica  = 28.09 g/mol+16.00\times 2=60.09 g/mol

Formula used :  

\rho=\frac{Z\times M}{N_{A}\times a^{3}}

where,

\rho = density

Z = number of atom in unit cell

M = atomic mass

(N_{A}) = Avogadro's number  

a = edge length of unit cell

On substituting all the given values , we will get the value of 'a'.

2.32 g/cm3=\frac{Z\times 60.09 g/mol}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}\times (0.700\times 10^{-7}cm)^{3}}

Z = 8

1 silicon is 2 oxygen atoms. then 8 silicon atoms will be 16 oxygen atoms.

If a 300.0 ml sample of a gas is heated at constant pressure from 25.0ºc to 55.0ºc, its new volume is _____ ml?
jekas [21]

 The new  volume is    330.2 ml


<u><em>calculation</em></u>

 The new  volume is  calculated using  the Charles  law formula

that is  V1/T1= V2/T2

where T1= 25.0  c  into kelvin  =  25 +273  = 298 K

         V1=  300.0 ml

       T2  = 55.0  c  into kelvin = 273   +55  =328  K

      V2 =  ? ml


make V2  the   subject of the formula  by  multiplying  both side by T2

V2= V1T2/ T1

V2 =[ (300.0 ml x 328 k)  / 298 k}  = 330.2 ml

N2 and H2 are mixed in 14:3 mass ratio. After certain time ammonia was found to be 40% by mol. The mole fraction of N2 at that t
son4ous [18]

Answer : The mole fraction of nitrogen will be 0.4615.


Explanation : When nitrogen (N_{2})and hydrogen (H_{2})are mixed, the mole ratio becomes 1 : 1.5,


Now we know that (H_{2}) is acting as a limiting agent.


So at the time of when 0.4 moles of (NH_{3}) is been formed it requires 0.4 moles of (N_{2}) and 3.4 moles of (H_{2})


So, we find the the remaining (N_{2}) will be 0.6 and

(H_{2}) will be 0.3 mole present in mixture.


So, the mole fraction of (N_{2}) becomes = 0.6 / (0.6 + 0.4 + 0.3) Which becomes = 0.4615

An ice cube is placed on a kitchen counter. Which best describes heat flow in this situation
Sauron [17]
<span>When an ice cube is placed on a kitchen counter, heat will flow from the ice cube to the counter, causing the molecules in the counter to move more slowly. The molecules of the counter move more slowly because the heat transferred to them from the ice has reduced their kinetic energy.</span>

Titanium metal requires a photon with a minimum energy of 6.94×10⁻¹⁹J to emit electrons. What is the wavelength of this light? E
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:2.86x10^-7m

Explanation:E=hc/^

E=6.94x10^-19J

c = 2.9979x10^8m/s

h= 6.626x10^-34Js

^ =( 6.626x10^-34)x( 2.9979x 10^8)/ 6.94x10^-19

= 2.86x10^-7m
