The empirical formula for the compound is - P₂O₅
the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound.
molecular formula is the actual ratio of components in a compound.
we have to first find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula 
molecular mass - 283.89 g/mol
mass of empirical formula - 283.8 g
number of empirical units - 283.89 g/mol / 283.8 g
number of empirical units - 1.000 
therefore empirical formula = molecular formula 
molecular formula - P₂O₅

Is ammonium ion a bronsted base
Leokris [45]

Unlikely. It's unlikely for ammonium ion {\text{NH}_4}^{+} to accept a proton \text{H}^{+} and act as a Bronsted-Lowry Acid.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

What's the definition of Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases?

  • Bronsted-Lowry Acid: a species that can donate one or more protons \text{H}^{+} in a reaction.
  • Bronsted-Lowry Base: a species that can accept one or more protons \text{H}^{+}

Ammonium ions {\text{NH}_4}^{+} are positive. Protons \text{H}^{+} are also positive.

Positive charges repel each other, which means that it will be difficult for {\text{NH}_4}^{+} to accept any additional protons. As a result, it's unlikely that {\text{NH}_4}^{+} will accept <em>any</em> proton and act like a Bronsted-Lowry Base.

A liquid-phase isomerization is carried out in a 1000-gal CSTR that has a single impeller located halfway down the reactor. The
igomit [66]

Answer:

The conversion achieved for the first CSTR impeller is 0.382

Discrepancy = 0.188

Explanation:

The impeller divides the CSTR into 2 equal reactors of volume 500gal

Using V = FaoX/ (-ra)

500gal = Fao×Xa/[(KCao^2( 1 -X1)^2]

500gal = CaoVoX1/ KCao^2(1-X1)

500gal= 500gal × X1'/(1 - X1)^2

(1 -X1)^2 = X1

X1^2 - 3X1 + 1 = 0

X1= 0.382

Conversion achieved in the first CSTR is 0.382

Actual measured CSTR = 57% =57/100=0.57

Discrepancy in the conversions= 0.57 -0.383 =0.188
