Since you know the ratio of atoms, you can start to put a formula togeter. The formula might look like:<span>
X<span>H2.67
</span></span>but since atoms can't come in fractional amounts, we have to multiply the formula by some number in order to turn 2.67 into a whole #, while still maintaining the ratio. Multiplying 2.67 by 3 yields 8, so the most likely ratio in the molecule is
X3H8<span>so the ratio of 1:2.67 is still maintained. The mass percent tells you that out of every 100g of compound, 91.26g is element X, so the other 8.74g must be H. Dividing each mass by the number of moles in the formula gets us the molar mass of each element (approximately). DIviding 8.74g by 8 gets 1.09, roughly the molar mass of hydrogen. Dividing 91.26g by 3 gets us 30.4, roughly the molar mass of phosphorus. Element X is most likely phosphorus</span>
False :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Answer:
Triphorphorus Pentanitride
Explanation:
since there are three phosphorus use the prefix tri-, since there are five nitrogen use the prefix penta. tri=3, penta=5. then add a suffix -ide to the end of nitrogen. that will give you triphosphorus pentanitride.
Answer:
7 cm
Explanation:
If the following digit is greater than or equal to 5, the decimal place is rounded up (moved up to the next number); if the following digit is less than 5, the decimal place stays the same.
4.6 + 2.35 = 6.95 cm
However, as stated in your question, cm is only being measured to the nearest 0.1 centimeters in your question.
So, you would round the digit 9 up by 1, meaning you would round it to 10. However, there are only nine digits available in our base-10 counting system, so you carry the value over,
6.95 cm could be rounded to '6. 100 cm', which is 7 cm.
