Answer:

Mass percentage of phosphorus is 22.54%and mass percentage of chlorine is 77.46%.

Explanation:

Mass of the compound = 50.51 g

Mass of phosphorus atoms produced = 11.39 g

According to law of conservation of mass.

Mass of phosphorus atoms and chlorine atoms = Mass of the compound

Mass of the phosphorus = 50.51 g

Percentage of Phosphorus:

\%(Phosphorus)=\frac{11.39 g}{50.51 g}\times 100=22.54\%

Percentage of Chlorine:

\%(Chlorine)=100\%-(\%(Phosphorus))=100\%-22.54\%=77.46\%

Mass percentage of phosphorus is 22.54%and mass percentage of chlorine is 77.46%.

<u>Ans: P = 22.5% and Cl = 77.5%</u>

<u></u>

<u>Given:</u>

Total Mass of sample containing P and Cl = 50.51 g

Mass of P produced = 11.39 g

<u>To determine:</u>

Mass % of P and Cl

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass % of a given element in a total mass is generally expressed as:

Mass % of element = [mass of element/total mass]*100

Here,

Total mass = mass of P + mass of Cl

mass of Cl = Total - mass of P = 50.51-11.39 = 39.12 g

% P = [11.39/50.51]*100 = 22.5%

%Cl = [39.12/50.51]*100 = 77.5%

How does electronegativity affect the polarity of the bond between two atoms?
Fantom [35]
It can allow the molecule (like water) to be polar because it has a negative and positive side to it (oxygen holds the negatives tight causing the hydrogens to be positive).

Which of the following would become a negative ion before bonding?
Anarel [89]
Isn't it nitrogen AND chlorine? Both are nonmetals, and they need to gain electrons in order to bond.

Which metal will react spontaneously with Cu2+ (aq) at 25°C?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Mg  

Explanation:

The standard reduction potentials are

                                              <u>E°/V </u>

Au³⁺(aq ) + 3e⁻  ⟶  Au(s);     1.42

Hg²⁺(aq)  + 2e⁻  ⟶  Hg(l);     0.85

Ag⁺(aq)    +   e⁻  ⟶  Ag(s);    0.80

Cu²⁺(aq)   + 2e⁻ ⟶  Cu(s);   0.34

Mg2+(aq) + 2e- ⟶  Mg(s);   -2.38

The more negative the standard reduction potential, the stronger the metal is as a reducing agent.

Mg is the only metal with a standard reduction potential lower than that of Cu, so

Only Mg will react spontaneously with Cu²⁺.
