In an experiment, 4.14 g of phosphorus combined with chlorine to produce 27.8 g of a white solid compound. what is the empirical

formula of the compound?

Umnica [9.8K]3 years ago

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

Which actions are part of a system of methodical tests and refinements specific to technological design? 1 documenting, tinkerin
telo118 [61]

Answer:

1. documenting, tinkering, testing

Explanation:

Technological design is defined as the process of study, design and development of new technologies.

There are some action in the methodical tests and refinements specific to technological design include documenting, tinkering, testing.

<u>Documenting </u><u>includes collecting all the information about the design and develop the product, </u><u>tinkering</u><u> involves repairing or adjust the issues found in the development, and </u><u>testing </u><u>helps to evaluate if the product is ready to work as it is supposed to.</u>

Hence, the correct answer is "1."

A 0.100 mile sample of gas is at a temperature of 85.0 degrees C and a volume of 3.47 L. What is the pressure of the gas( in mm
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: 64.6 mmHg

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of gas V = 3.47L

(since 1 liter = 1dm3

3.47L = 3.47dm3)

Temperature T = 85.0°C

Convert Celsius to Kelvin

(85.0°C + 273 = 358K)

Pressure P = ?

Number of moles of gas N = 0.100 mole

Note that Molar gas constant R is a constant with a value of 0.0082 ATM dm3 K-1 mol-1

Then, apply ideal gas equation

pV = nRT

p x 3.47dm3 = 0.10 x (0.0082 atm dm3 K-1 mol-1 x 358K)

p x 3.47dm3 = 0.29 atm dm3

p = (0.29 atm dm3 / 3.47 dm3)

p = 0.085 atm

Recall that pressure of the gas is required in mm hg, so convert 0.085 atm to mm Hg

If 1 atm = 760 mm Hg

0.085atm = 0.085 x 760

= 64.6 mm Hg

Thus, the pressure of the gas is 64.6 mm hg

These substances are all ____. H2O2 Li NaCl O2
Bogdan [553]

Answer: pure substances.


Explanation:


The given substances are:

  • H₂O₂
  • Li
  • NaCl
  • O₂

All what surrounds us, which has mass and occupies spaces, is matter. There are two kind of matter: pure substances and mixtures.


Pure substances have a uniform and constant composition. On the other hand, mixtures are combinations of two or more pure substances in  any arbitratry ratio.


Pure substances may be elements or compounds. The elements are the substances conmposed by one only kind of atom. In the list of substances given, Li and O₂ are elements: all the atoms in Li are lithium, and all the atoms in O₂ are oxygen atoms.


Compounds are the chemical combination of two or more different kind of atoms. In the given list H₂O₂ and NaCl are compounds. As you see, H₂O₂ contains atoms of hydrogen and oxygen, chemically bonded, in a fixed ratio (2 atoms of hydrogen by 2 atoms of oxygen). And NaCl has atoms of Na (sodium) and Cl (chlorine), chemicaly bonded, in a fixed ratio (1:1).


There are only 118 known elements and you can find them in any modern periodic table. Therer are virtually infinitely many compounds since many different combinations of the elements can be attained.


Elements and compounds have in common that they are classified as pure substances.
