The chemical formula for the compound containing 8.6 mol of sulfur and 3.42 mol of phosphorus is P₂S₅
<h3>How do I determine the formula of the compound?</h3>
From the question given above, the following data were obatined:
- Sulphur (S) = 8.6 moles
- Phosphorus (P) = 3.42 mole
- Chemical formula =?
The chemical formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:
Divide by their molar mass
S = 8.6 / 32 = 0.26875
P = 3.42 / 31 = 0.11032
Divide by the smallest
S = 0.26875 / 0.11032 = 2.44
P = 0.11032 / 0.11032 = 1
Multiply by 2 to express in whole number
S = 2.44 × 2 = 5
P = 1 × 2 = 2
Thus, the chemical formula is P₂S₅

Answer:
volume = 13097674418.528dm³
Explanation:
n = (3.52)*10^32/(6.02)*10^23)
n = (584717607.97)
n = volume /molar volume
molar volume at stp = 22.4dm³
volume= 584717607.97 x 22.4
volume = 13097674418.528dm³
Answer:
Ionic compounds
Explanation:
Molecular formula consists of chemical symbols for constituent elements followed by the numeric subscripts describing number of the atoms of each element present in one molecule of the compound.
On the other hand, ionic compounds do not exist in the form of molecules. They are in the form of crystal lattice in the solid state which contains many ions each of cation and anion.
<u>Thus, a ionic compounds are unable to write a molecular formula. Empirical formulas to used to represent them.</u>
Answer: 226 Subscript 88 Baseline Upper R a right arrow Superscript 222 Subscript 86 Baseline Upper R n + Superscript 4 Subscript 2 Baseline Upper H e
Explanation:
Alpha decay : When a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha particle. In this process, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.
The general representation of alpha decay reaction is:

Thus 226 Subscript 88 Baseline Upper R a right arrow Superscript 222 Subscript 86 Baseline Upper R n + Superscript 4 Subscript 2 Baseline Upper H e represents alpha decay.
