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

The mass spectrum of an unknown compound has a molecular ion peak with a relative intensity of 57.10% and an M+1 peak of 6.83%.
max2010maxim [7]

There are 11 Carbon atoms in the compound.

<u>Solution:</u>

Carbon atom count is the ratio of the M peak to the M+1 peak.

\text{ Number of Carbon atoms }=\frac{\text { Relative intensity of } M+1 \text { peak }}{0.011 \times \text { Relative tntensity of } M \text { peak }}

Here M peak is 57.10% and M+1 peak is 6.83%. On applying the values in the formula we get,

\frac{0.0683}{0.011\times0.571g} = 10.87\approx11

Therefore, the number of Carbon atoms in the compound are 11.

Refer the image attached below for a better understanding of M peak and M+1 peak.

The heaviest ion that has the greatest m/z value is said to be the molecular ion peak in mass spectrum.

kherson [118]

Answer:

a rapidly flowing river discharges into the ocean where tidal currents are weak.

Explanation:

The force of the river pushing fresh water out to sea rather than tidal currents transporting seawater upstream determines the water circulation in these estuaries.

What is used for mixing a small amount of chemicals together?
DENIUS [597]

a thin solid glass rod that is used in chemistry to combine substances. A stirring rod often has rounded ends and is about the length of a long straw.

<h3>What use serves the stirring rod?</h3>

A crucial component of lab apparatus for mixing chemicals and liquids for reactions is a long, thin stirring rod. Stirring rods are made of solid plastic, glass, or steel and are non-abrasive, chemically inert, and chemically resistant.

<h3>What is the name of the glass stirring rod?</h3>

Glass rod, also known as a stirring rod, stir rod, or solid glass rod, is frequently made of quartz and borosilicate glass. Its diameter and length can be modified to meet your needs.

<h3>Does filtration employ stirring rods?</h3>

When the liquid transfer procedure is paused, use a stirring rod to direct the liquid flow into the funnel and stop small amounts of liquid from dribbling down the beaker's outside.

If a molecule can hydrogen bond does it guarantee that it will have a higher boiling point than a molecule that cannot?
sleet_krkn [62]
A molecule that can h-bond will not always necessarily and does not have guarantee to have a higher boiling point than one than cannot have h-bond.
we can take an example of Pentan-2-one that cannot h-bond but instead of this it  has a high boiling point that is 102.3 °C, while propan-1-ol can h-bond but it has a boiling point of 97.2°C, that is lower than the boiling point of Pentan-2-one.
