The amount per 100 g is:

38.7 % calcium = 38.7g Ca / 100g compound = 38.7g

19.9 % phosphorus = 19.9g P / 100g compound = 19.9g

41.2 % oxygen = 41.2g O / 100g compound = 41.2g

The molar amounts of calcium, phosphorus and oxygen in 100g sample are calculated by dividing each element’s mass by its molar mass:

Ca = 38.7/40.078 = 0.96

P = 19.9/30.97 = 0.64

O = 41.2/15.99 = 2.57

C0efficients for the tentative empirical formula are derived by dividing each molar amount by the lesser value that is 0.64 and in this case, after that multiply wih 2.

Ca = 0.96 / 0.64 = 1.5=1.5 x 2 = 3

P = 0.64 / 0.64 = 1 = 1x2= 2

O = 2.57 / 0.64 = 4= 4x2= 8

Since, the resulting ratio is calcium 3, phosphorus 2 and oxygen 8

<span>So, the empirical formula of the compound is Ca</span>₃(PO₄)₂

Question 4
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

A. She can run the same distance in a shorter amount of time.

Explanation:

Speed can be computed with the formula:

v = \dfrac{d}{t}

Where:

v = speed

d = distance

t = time

So if you look at the formula, distance there tells you how far an object has traveled, and the time tells us how long it took to cover that distance. As you can see, speed and time are <u>inversely proportional. </u>This means that as one goes up, the other goes down. So if we reduce time travelling a certain distance, the speed increases.

Question 6: The Ideal Gas Law (7 points) a. What is the mathematical equation for the ideal gas law? Identify each variable and
azamat

The mathematical equation for the ideal gas law is PV = nRT.

<h3>What is an ideal gas equation?</h3>

The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates the macroscopic properties of ideal gases. An ideal gas is a gas in which the particles (a) do not attract or repel one another and (b) take up no space (have no volume).

(A)

PV = nRT

The ideal gas equation is formulated as: PV = nRT. In this equation, P refers to the pressure of the ideal gas, V is the volume of the ideal gas, n is the total amount of ideal gas that is measured in terms of moles, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the temperature.

(B)

Where the pressure - P, is in atmospheres (atm) the volume - V, is in liters (L) the moles -n, are in moles (m) and Temperature -T is in Kelvin (K) as in all gas law calculations.

(C)

A. Boyle's law

B. Charles's law

C. Avogadro's law

D. Dalton's law

____ - P_1V_1 = P_2 V_2

____ \frac{V}{T} = k

____ \frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}

____ V = kn

____ PV = k

____- P total = P_1 + P_2 + P_3 + ...

<u>Boyle's</u><u> law</u> - P_1V_1 = P_2 V_2

<u>Charles's</u><u> law</u> - \frac{V}{T} = K

<u>Charles's law</u> - \frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}

<u>Avogadro's law</u>- V = kn

<u>Boyle's law</u> - PV = k

<u>Dalton's law</u><u> </u>- P total = P_1 + P_2 + P_3 + ...
