Answer:
Cold climates favor mechanical weathering.
Explanation:
I just took the test and this is the correct answer!
Moles = mass / molar mass
<span>moles P = 0.422 g / 30.97 g/mol = 0.01363 mol </span>
<span>moles O = (0.967 g - 0.422g) / 16.00 g/mol = 0.03406 moles </span>
<span>So ratio moles P : moles O </span>
<span>= 0.01363 mol : 0.03406 mol </span>
<span>Divide each number in the ratio by the smallest number </span>
<span>(0.01363 / 0.01363) : (0.03406 / 0.01363) </span>
<span>= 1 : 2.5 </span>
<span>The empirical formula needs to be the smallest whole number ratio of atoms in the molecules. Since you have a non-whole number, multiply the ratio by the smallest number needed to make both number whole numbers. In this case x 2 </span>
<span>2 x (1 : 2.5) </span>
<span>= 2 : 5 </span>
