The chemical formula for the compound containing 8.6 mol of sulfur and 3.42 mol of phosphorus is P₂S₅

<h3>How do I determine the formula of the compound?</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obatined:

  • Sulphur (S) = 8.6 moles
  • Phosphorus (P) = 3.42 mole
  • Chemical formula =?

The chemical formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:

Divide by their molar mass

S = 8.6 / 32 = 0.26875

P = 3.42 / 31 = 0.11032

Divide by the smallest

S = 0.26875 / 0.11032 = 2.44

P = 0.11032 / 0.11032 = 1

Multiply by 2 to express in whole number

S = 2.44 × 2 = 5

P = 1 × 2 = 2

Thus, the chemical formula is P₂S₅

How many bonds would be needed when bonding 2 atoms of nitrogen to achieve a full octet for both atoms?
andriy [413]

Answer:

3 bonds are needed.

Explanation:

The electrons that are involved in chemical bonding are those in the outer shell of the highest energy level of the atom. The electron configuration of nitrogen (N) is 1s²2s²2p³. That means thy at each nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons: 2 electrons in the 2s orbital and 3 electrons in the 2p orbital. To fullfil the octet, each nitrogen atom needs 3 electrons. So, they can share each other 3 electrons to form 3 simple bonds. Therefore, the nitrogen molecule (N₂) has 3 bonds involving 6 bonding electrons or a triple bond.

Determine the number of moles in 382.5g of CO-2
exis [7]

Answer: 8.691 mols of CO₂

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a given grams, you want to use the molar mass.

Let's first find the molar mass of CO₂.

Carbon's molar mass is 12.011 g/mol

Oxygen's molar mass is 15.999 g/mol

To find molar mass of CO₂, we want to add up the molar mass of carbon and oxygen. Remember, there are 2 Oxygens so we need to mulitply that by 2.

12.011+2(15.999)=44.009 g/mol

Now that we have molar mass, we can convert 382.5 g to mols.

382.5g*\frac{1 mol}{44.009g} =8.691 mol

There are about 8.691 mols of CO₂.

how many grams of calcium sulfate are produced from 10 grams of calcium nitrate and how many grams of calcium sulfate are produc
AlekseyPX

Answer:  8.30 g of calcium sulfate are produced from 10 grams of lithium sulfate.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} Ca(NO_3)_2=\frac{10g}{164g/mol}=0.061moles

\text{Moles of} Li_2SO_4=\frac{10g}{110g/mol}=0.091moles

Ca(NO_3)_2+Li_2SO_4\rightarrow 2LiNO_3+CaSO_4  

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of Ca(NO_3)_2 require = 1 mole of Li_2SO_4

Thus 0.061 moles of Ca(NO_3)_2 will require=\frac{1}{1}\times 0.061=0.061moles  of Li_2SO_4

Thus Ca(NO_3)_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and Li_2SO_4 is the excess reagent.

As 1 mole of Ca(NO_3)_2 give = 1 mole of CaSO_4

Thus 0.061 moles of Ca(NO_3)_2 give =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.061=0.061moles  of CaSO_4

Mass of CaSO_4=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.061moles\times 136g/mol=8.30g

Thus 8.30 g of calcium sulfate are produced from 10 grams of lithium sulfate.
