Answer:

(a) PCl_5

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, such nomenclature expresses the amount of both phosphorous and chlorine atoms via prefixes for the sub indexes of each atom into the molecule, thus, as phosphorous is prefixless one infers that there is just one phosphorous and five chlorides since the prefix for such atom is penta. Therefore, the correct formula is:

PCl_5

Hence, the answer is (a)

Best regards.

A piece of wood near a fire is at 23°c. it gains 1,160 joules of heat from the fire and reaches a temperature of 42°c. the speci
Alex73 [517]

The mass of the piece of wood is 35.58 g.

Joule = M × T × C

Where, M = mass

T = change in temperature(42C-23C=19 C)

C = specific heat capacity = 1.716 joules/gram

Substituting the values in the equation,

1160 = M × 19 × 1.716

M = 1160/32.604 = 35.58 g

Therefore, the mass of the piece of wood = 35.58 g

<h3>What is meant by specific heat capacity?</h3>

A material's specific heat capacity, which is defined as its heat capacity divided by its mass, determines how much energy is required to increase a gram's temperature by one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin)

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass is the quantity of matter in a physical body.

You have performed a serial dilution of an unknown sample and counted 73 CFU on a countable plate that was marked as a 10^-4 dil
dexar [7]

Hey there!:

To find the original sample population density, divide the conted colonies by the dilution factor and the inoculate:

= 73 / (10⁻⁴ * 0.1)

= 73*10⁵

Thus, the original sample's population density was 7.3*10⁶ or 73* 10⁵.

Hope this helps!

Pressure increases from Earth’s surface toward the center of Earth.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Pressure increase towards earth’s interior because the further deeper you go the higher the rock layers above that apply pressure towards the center of the earth by gravity.  In addition , due to this increasing pressure, temperatures also increase because the two parameters are directly proportional.

How many carbon atoms are there in a diamond (pure carbon) with a mass of 55 mg ?
kari74 [83]
1 mol of Carbon = 12 grams.
x mol of Carbon = 55 grams

12*x = 1 * 55
x = 55/12
x = 4.583333 mols of carbon

1 mol of anything is 6.02 * 10^23 atoms
4.58333333 mol = x

1/4.5833333 = 6.02 * 10^23/x
x = 4.58333* 6.02*10^23
x = 2.7591 * 10^23 Carbon atoms
