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

Benzoic acid, c6h5cooh, has a ka = 6.4 x 10-5. what is the concentration of h3o+ in a 0.5 m solution of benzoic acid? 3.2 x 10-5
FinnZ [79.3K]
The answer for this issue is: 
The chemical equation is: HBz + H2O <- - > H3O+ + Bz- 
Ka = 6.4X10^-5 = [H3O+][Bz-]/[HBz] 
Let x = [H3O+] = [Bz-], and [HBz] = 0.5 - x. 
Accept that x is little contrasted with 0.5 M. At that point, 
Ka = 6.4X10^-5 = x^2/0.5 
x = [H3O+] = 5.6X10^-3 M 
pH = 2.25
(x is without a doubt little contrasted with 0.5, so the presumption above was OK to make)

The prefix ‘kilo-‘ means a thousand.
Blababa [14]

Answer:

0.97 kg, 1.0kg

Explanation:

As you have mentioned in the question, to convert kilo-gram to grams, this conversion is used, 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams

Initially, when one has to convert from one unit to another, there is a lot of confusion. To avoid any such, multiply and divide the number with units to which it has to be converted.

Here,

970 g = 970 g \times\frac{1 kg}{1 kg}

This makes no difference to the number.

970 g =  970 g \times\frac{1 kg}{1000 g}

As, 1 kg= 1,000 g

970 g =  \frac{970}{1000} kg

970 g = 0.97 kg

Rounding this off to the nearest tenth of a kilogram.

The tenths place is immediately to the right of the decimal point.

Here, 9 is at the tenth's place. Round the tenth's place up if the digit at hundredth's place is greater than or equal to 5. Since, 7 > 5, up the number at tenth's place.

So, answer is 1.0 kg

Select the true statements about protein secondary structure.
netineya [11]

Answer:

The α‑helix is held together by hydrogen bonds between the amide N−H and C=O groups.

Disulfide bonds stabilize secondary structure.

Explanation:

Proteins have primary, secondary, tertiary and quartinary structures.

The secondary structure of a protein is the regular, recurring sequence of amino acid in a polypeptide chain. Secondary structure of proteins give rise to the folding observed in the structure of a protein.

The major secondary structures of a protein are α-helices and β-structures.
