Explanation:
Matter also exhibits physical properties. Physical properties are used to observe and describe matter. Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter. These are properties such as mass, weight, volume, and density.
Oxygen: 16.00 g/mol
Hydrogen: 1.01 g/mol
The mass would be 17.01 g/mol
Grams of Phosphorus = 4.14 grams
Grams of white compound = 27.8 grams
Grams of Chlorine would be = 27.8 - 4.14 = 23.66 grams
Calculating moles which would be grams / molar mass
Molar mass of P = 30.97 grams / moles; Molar mass of Cl = 35.45 grams / moles
Moles of Phosphorus = 4.14 grams / 30.97 grams / moles = 0.1337 moles
Moles of Chlorine = 23.66 grams / 35.45 grams / moles = 0.6674 moles
Calculating the ratios by dividing with the small entity
P = 0.1337 moles / 0.1337 moles = 1
Cl = 0.6674 moles / 0.1337 moles = 5
So the empirical formula would be PCl5
From the calculations, the heat of fusion of the substance is 0.73 kJ
<h3>What is is the heat of freezing?</h3>
The heat of freezing is the energy released when the substance is converted from liquid to solid.
Now we know that the molar mass of the substance is 82.9 g/mol hence the number of moles of the substance is; 13.3 g /82.9 g/mol = 0.16 moles
Now the heat of fusion shall be;
H = 4.60 kj/mol * 0.16 moles
H = 0.73 kJ
