You start by diving each quantity given by the atomic wight of each element:

Phosphorus (P) $\frac{3.8}{31} =0.123$

Hydrogen (H) $\frac{0.371}{1} =0.371$

Then you divide by the lowest number:

$\frac{0.123}{0.123} = 1$ for phosphorus

$\frac{0.371}{0.123} = 3$ for hydrogen

So the empirical formula will be:

$PH_{3}$

For the reaction N2O4(g) ⇋ 2NO2(g), Kc = 0.25 at 98°C. At a point during the reaction, the concentration of N2O4 = 0.50 M and th

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Q = 0.50

Left

Explanation:

At a generic reversible equation

aA + bB ⇄ cC + dD

The reaction coefficient (Q) is the ratio of the substances concentrations:

$Q = \frac{[C]^c*[D]^d}{[A]^a*[B]^b}$

Solids and liquid water are not considered in this calculus.

When the reaction achieves equilibrium (concentrations are constant), the Q value is named as Kc, which is the equilibrium constant of the reaction. If Q > Kc, it indicates that the concentration of the products is higher, so, the reaction must progress to the left and form more reactants; if Q < Kc, than the concentrations of the reactants, are higher, so, the reaction progress to the right.

In this case:

Q = $\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}$

$Q = \frac{0.50^2}{0.50}$

Q = 0.50

So, Q > Kc, the reaction is not at equilibrium and it progresses to the left.

What is a planned goal of the Exploration Mission 2?

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

C. to explore the composition of Mars

Explanation:

Initially, in 2019, an unmanned mission is planned to orbit the moon. The spacecraft would flyby the moon. In 2020's, the Exploration Mission 2 would be a manned mission on the same path around the moon. This would be the base for future goal of collecting samples from mars. In later of 2020's unmanned spacecraft would be sent to mars and a robot would collect the samples from the Martian surface. In 2030's, a crew would be sent to Mars.

What is the iupac name of the following compound? <br><br> 2,2-dimethyl-4-ethylheptane

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The IUPAC name of the compound has already been given which is 2,2-dimethyl-4-ethylheptane.

Explanation:

The IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) is an authority in chemistry that provides a guideline and standardized methods in the naming of compounds formed from the periodic table.

In order the give an IUPAC name to a compound, certain steps needs to be followed, these includes:

--> Identify the functional group in the compound as this will form the suffix. For example if the functional group is an alkane the suffix will be -ane.

--> Identify the longest carbon chain (it may not be a straight chain) that contains the functional group. This forms the prefix. Example: if the longest carbon chain is 7 carbon atoms then the prefix will be hept-

--> All the carbons of the longest chain should be numbered

--> Identify branched groups on the chain and name them according to the number of carbon atoms. They usually end with -yl.

--> Finally, combine the elements of the name is a single word.

The structural formula of the IUPAC compound can be found in the attached file for a better understanding. The branched groups are circled.
