The problem has an insufficient data. For the purpose of answering the problem, I've searched for the missing data. <em>"Measurements also show that a certain sample of the unknown compound contains 2.8mol of phosphorus and 8.08mol of chlorine. </em><em>Write the complete chemical formula for the unknown compound."</em><em>
</em>
To determine the complete chemical formula for the unknown compound, we need to divide each given moles with the least number of moles in the compound (i.e. 2.8 moles of  P). Dividing the 8.08 moles of Cl with 2.8 moles of P would give us 2.9. Rounding this value would give us 3. This means 3 moles of Chlorine comprises the unknown compound. That's why Cl3. Same thing is done to get the number of Phosphorous in the compound (i.e. 2.8 moles P/2.8 moles). This would give us the value of 1. Therefore, x = 1. The unknown compound is PCl3 (Phosphorous Trichloride).

If the missing data is correct, then our answer is deemed correct as well.

Please someone help meeeeee!!!
Lorico [155]

Answer:

1 = Q =  7315 j

2 =Q =  -21937.5 j

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water = 50 g

Initial temperature = 20°C

Final temperature = 55°C

Energy required to change the temperature = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 j/g.°C.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT = 55°C - 20°C

ΔT = 35°C

Q = 50 g× 4.18 j/g.°C×35°C

Q =  7315 j

Q 2:

Given data:

Mass of metal = 100 g

Initial temperature = 1000°C

Final temperature = 25°C

Energy released = ?

Specific heat capacity = 0.225 j/g.°C

Solution:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT = 25°C - 1000°C

ΔT = -975°C

Now we will put the values in formula.

Q = 100 g × 0.225 j/g.°C × -975°C

Q =  -21937.5 j

Negative sign show that energy is released.

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
pantera1 [17]
Okay
Mr (H2O)= 18g
therefore moles of H2O
is 720.8/18= 40.04mol
the ratio of H2 to O2 to H2O is
2 : 1 : 2
so moles of H2 is same as H2O here
H2= 40.04moles

moles of O2 is half
so 40.04 x 0.5
20.02moles

grams of O2 is
its moles into Mr of O2
that's 20.02 x 32 = 640.64g
