Answer: The correct formula for phosphorous pentachloride is PCl_5 because a subscript 5 indicates five chlorine (Cl) atoms.

Explanation: For the given molecule, phosphorous pentachloride, there are 2 atoms present which are phosphorous and chlorine atoms.

Number of phosphorous atoms = 1

Number of chlorine atoms = 5

So, the correct formula for phosphorous pentachloride will be PCl_5 because the subscript 5 represents the 5 chlorine atoms.

What is the most mass of (NH4)2CO3 (H=1,C=12,N=14,O=16
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

96.09 g/mol

Explanation:

You just need to first get the atomic weights of the elements involved. You can easily get these from your periodic table.

If you are going to do this properly, please use the weight with at least two decimal places for accuracy (e.g. 15.99 g/mol).

Also, please take note that I will be using the unit g/mol for all the weights. Thus,

Step 1

N = 14.01 g/mol

H = 1.008 g/mol

O = 16.00 g/mol

C = 12.01 g/mol

Since your compound is  

(

N

H

4

)

2

C

O

3

, you need to multiply the atomic weights by their subscripts. Therefore,

Step 2

N = 14.01 g/mol × 2 =

28.02 g/mol

H = 1.008 g/mol × (4×2) =

8.064 g/mol

 

O = 16.00 g/mol × 3 =

48.00 g/mol

C = 12.01 g/mol × 1 =

12.00 g/mol

To get the mass of the substance, we need to add all the weights from Step 2.

Step 3

molar mass of

(

NH

4

)

2

CO

3

=

(28.02 + 8.064 + 48.00 + 12.01) g/mol

=

96.09 g/mol

this is a google search and a example i hope is helps to solve

What is/are the only reason(s) that a reaction may have a percent yield above 100%?
natta225 [31]
Usually, percent yield is lower than 100% because the actual yield is often less than the theoretical value. Reasons for this can include incomplete or competing reactions and loss of sample during recovery. Percent yield is always a positive value. I hope this can help you
