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 vapor pressure of water at T=90°C
LenKa [72]

The equilibrium vapour pressure is typically the pressure exerted by a liquid .... it is A FUNCTION of temperature...

Explanation:

By way of example, chemists and physicists habitually use

saturated vapour pressure

...where

P

SVP

is the vapour pressure exerted by liquid water. At

,

P

SVP

=

. Why?

Well, because this is the normal boiling point of water: i.e. the conditions of pressure (i.e. here

, at which the VAPOUR PRESSURE of the liquid is ONE ATMOSPHERE...and bubbles of vapour form directly in the liquid. As an undergraduate you should commit this definition, or your text definition, to memory...

At lower temperatures, water exerts a much lower vapour pressure...but these should often be used in calculations...especially when a gas is collected by water displacement. Tables of

saturated vapour pressure

are available.
