Answer:

C: 61.0%, H: 15.3%, N: 23.7%

Explanation:

We can calculate the percent by mass of each element using the following expression.

%Element = (mass of the element/mass of the compound) × 100%

Carbon

%C = (7.34 g/12.04 g) × 100% = 61.0%

Hydrogen

%H = (1.85 g/12.04 g) × 100% = 15.3%

Nitrogen

%N = (2.85 g/12.04 g) × 100% = 23.7%

The percent composition of this compound is C: 61.0%, H: 15.3%, N: 23.7%.

Which laws can be combined to form the ideal gas law?

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: Charles's law, Avogadro's law and Boyle's law.

Justification:

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature PV = constant

Charles law states that at constant pressure V/T = constant

Avogadro's law states that at constant pressure ant temperature, equal volume of gases contain equal number of moles: V/n = constant

Ideal gas law states PV/nT = constant => PV = nT*constant = PV = nTR

Consider the following balanced equation:

algol [13]

Moles of PF₃ : 4

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products.

Reaction

$\tt P_4(s)+6F_2(g)\rightarrow 4PF_3(g)$

1.25 moles of P₄(s) is reacted with 6 moles of F₂(g)

Limiting reactant : the smallest ratio (mol divide by coefficient)

P₄ : F₂ =

$\tt \dfrac{1.25}{1}\div \dfrac{6}{6}=1.25\div 1\rightarrow F_2~limiting~reactant(smallest~ratio)$

mol PF₃ based on mol of limiting reactant(F₂), so mol PF₃ :

$\tt \dfrac{4}{6}\times 6~moles=4~moles$
