Predict the formula of the gas produced when sodium phosphide, na3p(s), is treated with water.

The formula of the gas produced is .

Explanation:

Whenever metal phosphides reacts with water they form phosphine gas and alkaline solution of metal hydroxide.

So, when sodium phosphide is treated with water it gives phosphine gas and sodium hydroxide solution as a product.

The formula of the gas produced is .

its not a choice. you dont choose if you want to be gay or straight.

answer: the enthalpy of the overall chemical reaction is +87.88 kj or +88 kj.

according to hess's law, the overall enthalpy of a reaction is the difference between the sum of enthalpy values of all the products and the sum of enthalpy values of all the reactants.

δh(reaction) = ∑nδh(products) - ∑nδh(reactants)

δh(reaction) = [δh +δh] - [δh]

δh(reaction) = [1(-287.02) + 1(0) ] - [1(-374.9)] kj = +87.88 kj

here, δh (pcl3) = -287.02 kj, δh(cl2) = 0, δh(pcl5) = -374.9 kj

therefore, enthalpy of the overall reaction is +87.88 kj or +88 kj.
