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

Chemistry an atom of strontium has at least four different isotopes. what is different between an isotope of 86sr and an isotope
lions [1.4K]
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons.

Remember that all the atoms of an element have the same number of protons. So the only difference between isotopes of an element is the number of neutrons.

86 Sr means that the mass number of this isotope is 86. Also, remember that the mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons.

87 Sr means that the mass number of this isotope is 87.

So, 86 Sr and 87 Sr differ 1 neutron.

Answer: 1 neutron

What happens to the number of waves when you decrease the wavelength?
Keith_Richards [23]

C

Decreasing the wavelength increases the frequency of a wave and vice versa, as long as the energy of the wave remains constant.

Explanation:

The energy of a wave is given by the formula;

E= hf

Whereby;

E = energy

h = Plank’s constant

f = frequency

Remember that f can be also represented as;

¹/ λ

Whereby;

λ = wavelength

Wavelength and frequency are therefore inversely proportional.

Decreasing the wavelength increases the frequency of a wave and vice versa, as long as the energy of the wave remains constant.
