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
Radiation is energy. It can come from unstable atoms that undergo radioactive decay, or it can be produced by machines. Radiation travels from its source in the form of energy waves or energized particles. There are different forms of radiation and they have different properties and effects.
