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

How many grams of H2O are produced when 35.0 g of NaOH reacts with 17.5 g of CO,?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

2NaOH + CO2 -> Na2CO3 + H2O

1) Find the moles of each substance

\eq n(NaOH)=\frac{35.0}{22.99+16.00+1.008\\}\  =\frac{35.0}{39.998} \ = 0.8750437522 moles\\n(CO_{2} ) = \frac{17.5}{12.01+32.00} = \frac{17.5}{44.01} = 0.3976369007 moles\\

2) Determine the limitting reagent

\\NaOH = \frac{0.8750437522}{2} = 0.4375218761\\\\

∴ Carbon dioxide is limitting as it has a smaller value.

3) multiply the limiting reagent by the mole ratio of unknown over known

n(H2O ) = 0.3976369007 × 1/2

             = 0.1988184504 moles

4) Multiply the number of moles by the molar mass of the substance.

m = 0.1988184504 × (1.008 × 2 + 16.00)

   = 0.1988184504 × 18.016

   = 3.581913202 g

A. Energy is transferred to different forms
Luden [163]

Answer:

A. Energy is transferred to different forms .

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, we need to consider the law of conservation of mass and energy which states that mass and energy cannot be neither created nor destroyed, just modified; it means we can rule out B. and C. so far.

Moreover, since D. is actually true for combustion reactions because they are used to provide energy in industrial operations, this is not the concern here because a combustion reaction is not considered.

Therefore the correct option is A. Energy is transferred to different forms as the energy provided by Rose is transferred to the pendulum system .

Best regards!
