Explanation:
The answer for this question depends on the type of meniscus in the cylinder. If it is an upright meniscus like in water, the reading should be taken at the bottom of the meniscus. However if it is an inverted meniscus like in mercury, the reading should be taken at the top of the meniscus.

Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Mass of antimony = 19.75 g
Molar mass of Sb = 121.76 g/mol
Therefore, calculate number of moles of Sb as follows.
Moles of Sb = 
= 
= 0.162 mol
Mass of oxygen given is 6.5 g and molar mass of oxygen is 16 g/mol. Hence, moles of oxygen will be calculated as follows.
Moles of oxygen = 
= 
= 0.406 mol
Hence, ratio of moles of Sb and O will be as follows
Sb : O
1 : 2.5
We multiply both the ratio by 2 in order to get a whole number. Therefore, the ratio will be 2 : 5.
Thus, we can conclude that the empirical formula of the given oxide is
.
The equilibrium constant is a value which represents the equilibrium of a reaction. It is a reaction quotient when the reaction reached equilibrium. If Keq is greater than 1, the mixture contains mostly the products. On the other hand, if Keq is less than 1, the mixture contains the reactants. For this case, the mixture contains mostly products.
There are 5 valence electrons in a atom of phosphorus.
