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

In ____________ reactions, certain molecules are broken down; in the process they release energy which is captured when high-ene
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Exergonic ,Endergonic,low concentration area,high

Explanation:

In exergonic reaction,certain molecules are broken down;in the process they release energy which is captured when high energy molecules(such as ATP and NADH) are formed.

                          The breakdown of these molecules can be coupled to thermodynamically unfavorable processes such as Endergonic reactions or pumping og hydrogen ion from low concentration areas to high concentration areas.

Determine the empirical formula of a compound containing 1.71 g of silicon and 8.63 g of chlorine.
Basile [38]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: SiCl₄

Explanation:

Data

amount of Si      1.71 g

amount of Cl     8.63 g

MW Si = 28 g

MW Cl = 35.5

Process (rule of three)

For Si                                                        For Cl

        28 g of Si ------------------ 1 mol                      35.5 g of Cl --------------- 1 mol

          1.71g of Si  ---------------   x                              8.63 g of Cl --------------  x

         x = 1.71 x 1 / 28 = 0.06 mol                          x = 8.63 x 1 / 35.5 = 0.24 mol

Now, divide both results by the lowest of them.

Si = 0.06 mol / 0.06 = 1 molecule of Si     Cl = 0.24 / 0.06 = 4 molecules of Cl

Finally

                     Si₁ Cl₄ or SiCl₄

The solubility of alcohol decrease with increasing numbers of carbon atom explain​
Oxana [17]

The number of carbon atoms in an alcohol affects its solubility in water, as shown in Table 13.3. As the length of the carbon chain increases, the polar OH group becomes an ever smaller part of the molecule, and the molecule becomes more like a hydrocarbon. The solubility of the alcohol decreases correspondingly.

describe how knowledge of the periodic table would be important in three different careers, based on what you’ve read.
ANEK [815]

The knowledge of periodic table would be important in these three different careers such as medicine, pharmacology and engineering.

<h3>What is the importance of periodic table in following careers?</h3>

Periodic table is organised the whole elements vertically in groups and horizontally in periods with increasing atomic number.

The knowledge of arrangement of these elements serves alot of purposes in the following three different careers:

  • Medicine: The element, iron is an important metal in the periodic table used in treatment of low blood levels.

  • Pharmacology: The transition metals are useful in the field of pharmacology for the production of drugs. Example of such elements are chromium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, copper, and molybdenum.

  • Engineering: The information of elements in the periodic table helps engineers in designing of materials used for constructions.

Therefore, the knowledge of periodic table is very important in these three different careers such as medicine, pharmacology and engineering.
