What is the empirical formula for a compound if a sample contains 3.72 g of P and 21.28 g of Cl

1 answer:

6 0

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

1. define speed

Harrizon [31]

1- thé everyday use of kinematic basically the speed for something it’s the magnitude.

2-the speed of something in a certain direction
2a- They are both related by speed.

3-the capacity of a vehicle which gains speed in a short time

4-it’s an attraction of all matter (not sure on this one)

Evaluate the exponential expression (−2)6.

Olegator [25]

A general exponential expression is something like:

A^n

This means that we need to multiply the number A by itself n times.

Using that we will get (-2)^6 = 64

With that definition, we can rewrite:

(-2)^6 = (-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)

So we just need to solve the above expression.

Also, remember the rule of signs:

(-)*(-) = (+)

We will get:

(-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2) = [(-2)*(-2)]*[(-2)*(-2)]*[(-2)*(-2)]

= 4*4*4 = 16*4 = 64

Then we got:

(-2)^6 = 64
