Answer:

Molecular formula = P₄O₆

Explanation:

P(s)         +        O₂(g)------------------------------------⇒ PₓOₙ (g)

10g                     (17.77-10)g                                    17.77g

10g                        7.77g                                          17.77g  (gramme ratio)

The molecular mass of Phosphorus  (P) = 31g/mole

The molecular mass of Oxygen atom (O) = 16g/mole

Mole ratio is given by:

P              :             O

10/31                    7.77/16

0.3226       :         0.4856                Mole ratio---------------------------- (1)

Divide (1)  through by 0.3226

 1                 :        1.5-------------------------------------------- (2)

From  (2), the empirical formula for Phosphorus oxide :

Empirical formula = P₁O₁.₅

                               =  PO₁.₅

The molecular formula can be calculated from below:

Since the molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical formula we have

Molecular formula = (PO₁.₅)ₙ----------------------------------- (3)

Since we are given the molecular mass of the oxide formed, we have:

(PO₁.₅)ₙ = 220-----------------------------(4)

[31 + (16 x 1.5)] x n = 220

[31 + 24]n = 220

55n =220

n = 4

Substituting into (3), we have :

Molecular formula = (PO₁.₅)₄

                               = P₄O₆

Calculate the magnitude and direction (i.e., the angle with respect to the positive H-axis, measured positive as counter-clockwi
r-ruslan [8.4K]

The graphics in the attachment is part of the question, which was incomplete.

Answer: Fr = 102N and angle of approximately 11°.

Explanation: From the attachment, it is observed that from the three forces acting on M, two are perpendicular. So to find them, we have to show their x- and y- axis components. From the graph:

Fx = 70+40-10 = 100

Fy = 40-20 = 20

Now, as the forces form a triangle, the totalforce is:

Fr = \sqrt{Fx^{2} +Fy^{2} }

Fr = \sqrt{10400}

Fr = ≈ 102N

To determine the angle requested, we use:

arctg H = \frac{Fy}{Fx}

arctg H = \frac{20}{100}

H = tg 0.2 ≈ 11°.

Select the correct image.
masya89 [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

In all the other options either Carbon has more than 4 atoms attached or less than 4.

Carbon can not form more than four bonds. It can only share 4 electrons .

In other option C, No H-atom is linked in the right most Carbon.

whereas according to the definition of Hydrocarbon it should have been a Hydrogen atom.

An element A combines with element B. The electrons are transferred from the atom A to the atom B. .
Sloan [31]

(a) The nature of bond between A and B is an ionic bond.

(b) The two main properties of the ionic compounds are:

  • Ionic Compounds have high boiling and melting points as they're very strong and require a lot of energy to break.
  • The electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions lead to the formation of ions.

(c) If the ionic compound is dissolved in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly

<h3>What is an ionic compound?</h3>

Ionic compounds contain ions and are held together by the attractive forces among the oppositely charged ions.

An ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of some electrons from one atom to another. The atom losing one or more electrons becomes a cation—a positively charged ion.

In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

When ionic compounds dissolve in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solution.
