The first step in the synthesis of phosphoric acid is the reaction of phosphorus and oxygen to form diphosphorus pentoxide.

P_{4}(l) + 5 O_{2}(g)--->2 P_{2}O_{5} (g)

The second step in the synthesis of phosphoric acid is the reaction of diphosphorus with water to form phosphoric acid.

P_{2}O_{5}(g) + 3H_{2}O (l) --> 2H_{3}PO_{4}(aq)

The net chemical equation representing the formation of phosphoric acid from phosphorus, water and oxygen will be,

Step -1 : P_{4}(l) + 5O_{2}(g) ---> 2P_{2}O_{5}(g)

Step 2: P_{2}O_{5}(g) + 3 H_{2}O(l)-->2 H_{3}PO_{4}(aq)

Equation in step 2 must be multiplied by 2 in order to cancel diphosphorus pentoxide.

P_{4}(l) + 5O_{2}(g)---> 2P_{2}O_{5}

2 [P_{2}O_{5} (g) + 3 H_{2}O(l) --> 2 H_{3}PO_{4} (aq) ]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net: P_{4}(l) + 5 O_{2}(g) + 6 H_{2}O(l) --->   4H_{3}PO_{4}(aq)

What is one important role that ocean waters have in heating Earth?
Talja [164]

Answer:

Ocean temperature plays an important role in the Earth's climate system—particularly sea surface temperature (see the Sea Surface Temperature indicator)—because heat from ocean surface waters provides energy for storms and thereby influences weather patterns.

At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure benzene is measured to be 322. torr . Suppose a solution is prepared by mixi
VikaD [51]
First, we convert the masses into fractions
<span>138 g of benzene =  1.77 moles benzene
91.2 g of heptane = 0.93 moles heptane

Next, calculate the mole fractions
x1 (benzene) = 1.77 / (1.77 + 0.93) = 0.66
x2 (heptane) = 1 - 0.66 = 0.34

</span>The vapor pressure of pure benzene is 322 torr at 40 C.
At the same temperature, the vapor pressure of heptane is 92 torr.
<span>
The partial pressure of benzene is
p1 = 0.66 (322) = 212.52 torr 
The partial pressure of heptane is
p2 = 0.34 (92) = 31.28 torr
