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

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

ΔHreaction = 263.15 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The reaction is as follow:

OH + CF₂Cl₂ → HOF + CFCl₂

You need to calculate the enthalpy of reaction and for this it is necessary to know the standard enthalpies for each of the compounds. These enthalpies are as follows and can be found in your textbook or on the Internet.

ΔHreaction = ∑ΔHproducts - ∑ΔHreactants

delta(H)_{reaction} =((1*(-97.8)+(1*(-92))-((1*39)+(1*(-491.15))=263.15kJ/mol

Which liquids would cause the largest decrease in mass of a potato stick
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

distilled water I guess !

Just a guess though

If you find this useful, please mark my answer as the brainliest.

Explanation:

If you find this useful, please mark my answer as the brainliest.

distilled water

Explanation:

Some students investigated osmosis in raw potato sticks. The students measured the mass of three potato sticks using an electronic balance. The students left each potato stick in one of the three different liquids for 5 hours:i. distilled water. ii. dilute sodium chloride solution. iii. concentrated sodium chloride solution. After 5 hours they measured the mass again and calculated the change in mass. 1. Predict which of the liquids would cause the largest decrease in mass of a potato stick. 2. After the experiment, the students noticed that the potato stick with the lowest mass was soft and floppy. Explain why the potato stick had become soft and floppy. 3. The students followed the same experimental procedure with boiled potato sticks and found no overall change in mass in any of the solutions. Suggest why the mass of the boiled potato sticks remained the same.
