Answer:

Empirical formula - C_{7}H_{8}

Explanation:

From the given,

Mass of CO_{2} = 6.45 mg= 0.00645 g

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of CO_{2} = 44 g/mol

Given mass of H_{2}O = 1.51 mg= 0.00151 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.0 g/mol

0.00645\times \frac{1molCO_{2}}{44gCO_{2}}\times \frac{1mol\,C}{1mol\,CO_{2}}= 1

0.00151\times \frac{1molH_{2}O}{44gH_{2}O}\times \frac{2mol\,H}{1mol\,H_{2}O}= 1.4

1:1.4

Those two values are multiplied by two.(molar ratio -7)

1:1.4\times 7= 7:8

Therefore, empirical formula - C_{7}H_{8}

Answer:

Option B is correct. A nuclear alpha decay

Explanation:

Step 1

This equation is a nuclear reaction. So it can be an alpha decay or a beta decay

An α-particle is a helium nucleus. It contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons, for a mass number of 4.

During α-decay, an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle. It transforms (or decays) into an atom with an atomic number 2 less and a mass number 4 less.

Thus, radium-226 decays through α-particle emission to form radon-222 according to the equation that is showed.

A Beta decay occurs when, in a nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons is transformed into the other.

Option B is correct. A nuclear alpha decay

P4 (s) + 6Cl2 (g) -&gt; 4 PCL3 (l)
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

24 molecules of phosphorus trichloride can be formed

Explanation:

Based on the equation:

P4(s) + 6Cl2(g) → 4PCl3

<em>1 mole of P4 reacts with 6 moles of Cl2 to produce 4 moles of PCl3.</em>

<em />

When 10 molecules of P4 react, 60 molecules of Chlorine are needed. As there are just 36 molecules, Cl2 is limiting reactant.

If 36 molecules of chlorine are added, molecules of PCl3 produced are:

36 molecules Cl2 * (4 PCl3 / 6 Cl2) =

24 molecules of phosphorus trichloride can be formed
