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

A tank of 0.1m3 volume contains air at 25∘C and 101.33 kPa. The tank is connected to a compressed-air line which supplies air at
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Amount of Energy = 23,467.9278J

Explanation:

Given

Cv = 5/2R

Cp = 7/2R wjere R = Boltzmann constant = 8.314

The energy balance in the tank is given as

∆U = Q + W

According to the first law of thermodynamics

In the question, it can be observed that the volume of the reactor is unaltered

So, dV = W = 0.

The Internal energy to keep the tank's constant temperature is given as

∆U = Cv((45°C) - (25°C))

∆U = Cv((45 + 273) - (25 + 273))

∆U = Cv(20)

∆U = 5/2 * 8.314 * 20

∆U = 415.7 J/mol

Before calculating the heat loss of the tank, we must first calculate the amount of moles of gas that entered the tank where P1 = 101.33 kPa

The Initial mole is calculated as

(P * V)/(R * T)

Where P = P1 = 101.33kPa = 101330Pa

V = Volume of Tank = 0.1m³

R = 8.314J/molK

T = Initial Temperature = 25 + 273 = 298K

So, n = (101330 * 0.1)/(8.314*298)

n = 4.089891232222

n = 4.089

Then we Calculate the final moles at P2 = 1500kPa = 1500000Pa

V = Volume of Tank = 0.1m³

R = 8.314J/molK

T = Initial Temperature = 25 + 273 = 298K

n = (1500000 * 0.1)/(8.314*298)

n = 60.54314465936812

n = 60.543

So, tue moles that entered the tank is ∆n

∆n = 60.543 - 4.089

∆n = 56.454

Amount of Energy is then calculated as:(∆n)(U)

Q = 415.7 * 56.454

Q = 23,467.9278J

What is the reason behind that the melting and boiling point of iron is more than that of sodium?​
sweet [91]

Answer:

As metals are giant lattice structures, the number of electrostatic forces to be broken is extremely large, and so metals have high melting and boiling points. This means that the melting point and boiling point of metals are more similar to those for ionic compounds than for covalent substances.
