Grams of Phosphorus = 4.14 grams 
Grams of white compound = 27.8 grams 
Grams of Chlorine would be = 27.8 - 4.14 = 23.66 grams
 Calculating moles which would be grams / molar mass
 Molar mass of P = 30.97 grams / moles; Molar mass of Cl = 35.45 grams / moles
 Moles of Phosphorus = 4.14 grams / 30.97 grams / moles = 0.1337 moles
 Moles of Chlorine = 23.66 grams / 35.45 grams / moles = 0.6674 moles
 Calculating the ratios by dividing with the small entity
 P = 0.1337 moles / 0.1337 moles = 1
 Cl = 0.6674 moles / 0.1337 moles = 5 
So the empirical formula would be PCl5

Can you help me understand this ? I completely dont understand it ​. i know the tire will burst.
icang [17]

Answer:

There is only one formula to use and we should assume ideal gas. This equation is: PV=nRT. For the following questions manipulate this equation to get the answer.

1. n = PV/RT = (249*1000 Pa)(15.6 L)(1 m^3/1000 L)/(8.314 Pa-m^3/mol-K))(21+273) = 1.59 mol

2. P = nRT/V = (1.59)(8.314)(51+273)/(15.6/1000)(1000) = 274.55 kPa

3. Since the answer in #2 is more than 269 kPa, then the tires will likely burst. 4. Reduce pressure way below the limit 269 kPa.

Temperature is an example of a categorical variable a quantitative variable either a quantitative or categorical variable neithe
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: Temperature is an example of a quantitative variable

Explanation:

A quantitative variable is defined as :

  • A variable that can assume a numerical value .
  • It can be ordered with respect to either magnitude or dimensions.
  • It is further classified into two types : interval scale and ratio scale.

Temperature comes under interval scale , because interval scale has no zero point.

For example : A 0° C Celsius does not interpret that there is no temperature.

Therefore , Temperature is an example of a quantitative variable.

Hence, the correct answer is "quantitative variable"
