There are 16 valence electrons. (Also remember that N and O obey the octet rule.)

4. A solid non-metallic element (A) from Group 5A was burned in excess oxygen to give a white solid (B) (Rxn 1). The white solid (B) dissolves in water to give a solution of a substance (C) (Rxn 2); (C) turns blue litmus cherry. To this solution of (C) was added an backlog of aqueous KOH to produce an aqueous solution of (D) (Rxn three). Write balanced equations for Rxns one, 2, and 3; place A, B, C, D.

Reaction one: P₄(southward) + 5O₂(g) --> P₄O₁₀(s). Thus A is P₄, and B is P₄O₁₀

Reaction ii:P₄O_x(s) + 6H₂O(l) --> 4H₃PO_four(aq). Thus C is H_iiiPO₄.
