Given 3.72 g of P and 21.28g of Cl, converting these to moles: ( 3.72 g P)(mol P/30.97 g P) = 0.12 mol P (21.28 g Cl)(mol Cl/35.45 g Cl) = 0.60 mol Cl P:Cl = 0.12/0.60, therefore P: Cl =1/5 Therefore, PCl5                                                      hope it helps

A jeweler guarantees that a piece of jewelry is at least 95% gold, by mass. You consider buying a piece of gold jewelry that wei
ELEN [110]
The density of the sample is:
Density = mass / volume
Density = 9.85 / 0.675
Density = 14.6 g/cm³

If the sample has 95% gold, and 5% silver, its density should be:
0.95 x 19.3 + 0.05 x 10.5
Theoretical density = 18.9 g/cm³

The difference in theoretical and actual densities is very large, making it likely that the jeweler was not telling the truth.
