(a)
Interpretation:
Combustion of white phosphorus has to be written in form of a chemical equation.
Concept Introduction:
Chemical equation is a short hand representation of a
Combustion reaction is the burning of a substance in presence of oxygen. The product obtained on combustion is oxide only.
(b)
Interpretation:
Reaction of the product obtained with water from combustion of white phosphorus has to be written in form of a chemical equation.
Concept Introduction:
Chemical equation is a short hand representation of a chemical reaction. The reactants that are involved in a chemical reaction is written on the left side of the arrow and the products obtained are written on right side of the arrow. The conditions that are required for the chemical reaction to proceed is written above and below the arrow.
Oxides react with water to form oxo acids. Binary oxides are much reactive and readily combine with water.

- 4.22 Generally, an excess of O2 is needed for the reaction Sn+O2SnO2 . What is the minimum number of moles of oxygen required to oxidize 7.3 moles of tin?arrow_forward4. Complete, formulate, and balance the following equations: (a) Calcium chloride + lead(II) nitrate (b) Sodium sulfide + zinc chloride (c) Barium hydroxide + Phosphoric acidarrow_forward(A) if both sentences are true,(B) if both sentences are false,(C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and(D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true. 1. In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of iron changed from +2 to +3; thus, sulfur is a reducing agent. In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of nitrogen was unchanged; thus, nitrogen is an oxidant. 2. In a redox reaction, the reducing agent is oxidized and it gains electrons. In a redox reaction, the oxidizing agent is reduced and it gains electrons. 3. Bending stress is also known as flexural stress. The test used in observing the mechanical strength of chocolate is the three-point bend test. 4. The flexural strength of materials may be expressed in Pascals. Magnesium is more reactive than silver; therefore, magnesium corrodes faster than silver with the aid of air, oxygen, and sea water.arrow_forward
