How many valence electrons are contained in the element \(^{31}_{15}P\)?
3
4
15
31
Correct answer is A
The element is Phosphorus in group 5 with valencies of 3 and 5.
The products of the thermal decomposition of ammonium trioxonitrate(v) are?
Nitrogen (I) Oxide and Water
Ammonia and Oxide
Nitrogen and Water
Nitrogen (IV) Oxide and Water
Correct answer is A
NH\(_4\)NO\(_3\) Ammonium Trioxonitrate(V) , unlike all other metallic trioxonitrates(v), decomposes on heating to give nitrogen(i)oxide N\(_2\)O and water.

Correct answer is B
They are the most stable due to having the maximum number of valence electrons their outer shell can hold. Therefore, they rarely react with other elements since they are already stable.
1.650atm
0.825atm
0.413atm
0.275atm
Correct answer is A
Using the combined gas law formula,
Given that P\(_1\) = 0.825, V\(_1\) = 2.76 L, V\(_2\) = 1.38 L, P\(_2\) = ?
And T1 = T2; we would have P\(_2\) = [ P\(_1\) X V\(_1\) ] ÷ V\(_2\)
: [0.825 X 2.76] ÷ 1.38
= 1.650atm
Oxyethene
Oxyhydrocarbon flame
Oxyacetylene flame
Oxymethane flame
Correct answer is C
The reaction of calcium carbide with water, producing acetylene and calcium hydroxide, was discovered by Friedrich Wöhler in 1862. This reaction was the basis of the industrial manufacture of acetylene, and is the major industrial use of calcium carbide.
