Phosphorus, sulfur and chlorine can all react with oxygen to form oxides. Phosphorus reacts with an excess of oxygen to form phosphorus(oxide. Write an equation to show the reaction of phosphorus with excess oxygen. Describe the reaction of phosphorus(oxide with water. State the structure and bonding of solid phosphorus(oxide. The two most common oxides of sulfur are SO2 and SO3. When SO2 dissolves in water, a small proportion of it reacts with water to form a weak Brønsted‑Lowry acid. Explain the meaning of the term weak Brønsted-Lowry acid. Write the equation for the reaction of SO2 with water. SO2 reacts with NO2 in the atmosphere to form SO3 and NO. NO is then oxidised in air to form NO2. SO2 + NO2 → SO3 + NO 2NO + O2 → 2NO2 State the role of NO2 in this two-stage process. Emissions of SO2 from coal-fired power stations can be reduced by mixing the coal with powdered limestone. Limestone is heated to form CaO in reaction1. This then reacts with SO2 and O2 to form CaSO4 in reaction2. reaction 1: CaCO3→ CaO+ CO2reaction 2: CaO+ SO2+ 1 2O2→ CaSO4State the type of reaction occurring in reaction1.

E reacts with oxygen to form an insoluble white oxide that has a melting point of 1910 °C. The oxide of E conducts electricity only when liquid. E also reacts readily with Cl 2to form a white solid that reacts exothermically with water. The resulting solution reacts with aqueous silvernitrate to form a white precipitate that dissolves in dilute ammonia. Suggest the type of bonding shown by the oxide of E. Explain your answer. Suggest the type of bonding shown by the chloride of E. Explain your answer.
