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

Give the charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion most likely to be formed by the element. rb
devlian [24]

Actually Rb or Rubidium in zero state has the following electron configuration:

<span>1s22s2</span><span>2p6</span><span>3s2</span><span>3p63d10</span><span>4s2</span><span>4p65s1</span>

 

However we can see that the ion has a 1 positive charge, which means that it lacks 1 electron, therefore the answer from the choices is:

If 5. 0 grams of kcl is dissolved in 500 ml of water, what is the concentration of the resulting solution?
Lady_Fox [76]

If 5.0 grams of KCl is dissolved in 500 ml of water, the concentration of the resulting solution will be 0.134M.

<h3>How to calculate concentration?</h3>

The concentration of a solution can be calculated by using the following formula;

Molarity = no of moles ÷ volume

According to this question, 5.0 grams of KCl is dissolved in 500 ml of water. The concentration is calculated as follows:

no of moles of KCl = 5g ÷ 74.5g/mol = 0.067mol

Molarity = 0.067mol ÷ 0.5L = 0.134M

Therefore, if 5.0 grams of KCl is dissolved in 500 ml of water, the concentration of the resulting solution will be 0.134M.

Hat volume of a 0.540 M NaOH solution contains 12.5 g NaOH
amid [387]

Answer:

At 0.58 L of 0.540 M NaOH solution contain 12.5 g NaOH.

Explanation:

Given data:

At volume = ?

Mass of NaOH = 12.5 g

Molarity of solution = 0.540 M

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of moles of sodium hydroxide.

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 12.5 g / 40 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.3125 mol

Volume of NaOH:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in L

Now we will put the values.

0.540 M = 0.3125 mol / volume in L

volume in L = 0.3125 mol / 0.540 mol/L

volume in L = 0.58 L

Distinguish and give example for homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture​
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Through combining two or more substances, a mixture is produced. A homogeneous solution tends to be identical, no matter how you sample it. Homogeneous mixtures are sources of water, saline solution, some alloys, and bitumen. Sand, oil and water, and chicken noodle soup are examples of heterogeneous mixtures.

A student preforms a chemical reaction in which 35 grams of hydrogen and 65 grams of oxygen reacted to form water. What is the m
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Mass of water = 73.08 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 35 g

Mass of oxygen = 65 g

Mass of water = ?

Solution:

First of all we will write the balanced chemical equation:

2H₂  + O₂   →    2H₂O

Number of moles of hydrogen = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles of hydrogen =  35 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles of hydrogen = 17.5 mol

Number of moles of oxygen = 65 g / 32 g/mol

Number of moles of oxygen = 2.03 moles

Now we compare the moles of water with moles hydrogen and oxygen.

                                     H₂               :              H₂O

                                      2                :                2

                                    17.5              :              17.5

                                       O₂             :            H₂O

                                      1                :               2

                                      2.03         :             2× 2.03 =4.06 mol

Number of moles of water produced by oxygen are less so oxygen is limitting reactant.

Mass of water:

           Mass of water = number of moles × molar mass

          Mass of water = 4.06 mol × 18 g/mol

           Mass of water = 73.08 g
