M(P)=3.72 g
M(P)=31 g/mol

m(Cl)=21.28 g
M(Cl)=35.5 g/mol

n(P)=m(P)/M(P)
n(P)=3.72/31=0.12 mol

n(Cl)=m(Cl)/M(Cl)
n(Cl)=21.28/35.5=0.60 mol

P : Cl = 0.12 : 0.60 = 1 : 5

PCl₅ - is the empirical formula

If the rate of decomposition of ammonia, NH3, at 1150 K is 2.10 x 10-6 mol/L/s, what is the
Alina [70]

Answer:

3.15 × 10⁻⁶ mol H₂/L.s

1.05 × 10⁻⁶ mol N₂/L.s

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

2 NH₃ ⇒ 3 H₂ + N₂

Step 2: Calculate the rate of production of H₂

The molar ratio of NH₃ to H₂ is 2:3. Given the rate of decomposition of NH₃ is 2.10 × 10⁻⁶ mol/L.s, the rate of production of H₂ is:

2.10 × 10⁻⁶ mol NH₃/L.s × 3 mol H₂/2 mol NH₃ = 3.15 × 10⁻⁶ mol H₂/L.s

Step 3: Calculate the rate of production of N₂

The molar ratio of NH₃ to N₂ is 2:1. Given the rate of decomposition of NH₃ is 2.10 × 10⁻⁶ mol/L.s, the rate of production of N₂ is:

2.10 × 10⁻⁶ mol NH₃/L.s × 1 mol N₂/2 mol NH₃ = 1.05 × 10⁻⁶ mol N₂/L.s

Alla [95]

Answer:

(n, l, m sub l, m sub s)

N: principle quantum number (1,2,3,4,etc)

l: angular momentum quantum number, the shape (l has to be at least 1 less than n, but can be 0 depending on n)

M sub l: magnetic quantum number (l determines this number)

M sub s: spin quantum number (can only ever be 1/2 or -1/2)
