Answer:
Compound X has a molar mass of 316.25 g*mol^-1 and the following composition:
element & mass %
phosphorus & 39.18%
sulfur & 60.82%
Write the molecular formula of X.
Explanation:
The given molecule of phosphorus and sulfur has molar mass --- 316.25 g.
Empirical formula calculation:
element: phosphorus sulfur
co9mposition: 39.185% 60.82%
divide with
atomic mass: 39.185/31.0 g/mol 60.82/32.0g/mol
=1.26mol 1.90mol
smallest mole ratio: 1.26mol/1.26mol =1 1.90mol/1.26 mol =1.50
multiply with 2: 2 3
Hence, the empirical formula is:
P2S3.
Mass of empirical formula is:
158.0g/mol
Given, molecule has molar mass --- 316.25 g/mol
Hence, the ratio is:
316.25g/mol/158.0 =2
Hence, the molecular formula of the compound is :
2 x (P2S3)
=
Answer:
Determining the pH of substances such as purple grape juice and catsup using test strips can be difficult. Why?
Explanation:
Due to the tartaric acid present in these substances, this is a weak acid and is the predominant type of acid in grapes.
pH meters for these substances, measure the total acidity of the sample and convert it into tartaric acid concentration; The test strips are a qualitative method of measurement and their result can give different opinions.
Answer:
78 kPa
Explanation:
The total pressure is the sum of the partial pressures:
240 = Pa + Pb + Pc
240 = 107 + 55 + Pc
Pc = 78 kPa
