Answer:
P2O3
Explanation:
Firstly, we know that the phosphorus would absorb oxygen from air to form its oxide. We already know the mass of the phosphorus, we can get the mass of the oxygen by subtracting the mass of the phosphorus from the mass of the oxide.
The mass of the oxygen is 2.57 - 1.45 = 1.12g
From here, we covert these masses to moles by dividing by the atomic masses of phosphorus and oxygen respectively.
The atomic mass of phosphorus is 31 while that of oxygen is 16.
P = 1.45/31 = 0.046774193548
O = 1.12/16 = 0.07
We now divide by the smallest which is that of phosphorus.
P = 0.046774193548/ 0.046774193548= 1
O = 0.07/ 0.046774193548 = 1.5
We then multiply the answers by 2 for conversion to whole numbers. Making P = 2 and O = 3
The empirical formula is thus P2O3
When the volume is 450 cm3 so the boat will displace 450 g.
so we have 450 g - 14.5g = 435.5 left
so to get how many pennies can be added to the boat before it sinks can be determined by:
divided the mass for the one penny:
no.of Penny = 435.5 / 2.5g
= 174.2
∴ the boat will float with 174 pennies and will start to sink with 175
The molarity of a solution is found to be 10 M.
Explanation:
- Molarity of a solution = <u>moles solute</u>
Litres solution
5
- Molarity of a solution = 10 M
The proton transfer reaction between Cyanide and water can be written as; X^- + H2O -----> HX + OH^-
<h3>What is a proton transfer reaction?</h3>
A proton transfer reaction is one in which a proton is moved from one chemical specie to another.It is in fact and acid - base reaction in the Brownstead - Lowry sense.
The proton transfer reaction between Cyanide and water can be written as(Let the cyanide ion be shown as X);
X^- + H2O -----> HX + OH^-
