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

HELP ASAP!!! How many grams of lead are in a 41.2 gram sample of lead (II) oxide? With work please :)
Afina-wow [57]
That would be 58.6 oxide because if the 41.2 plus the oxide would be 48 plus the other particcles inside it so it equaled 58.6 oxide

What is the mass in grams of 9.76 x 10 12 atoms of naturally occurring sodium?
Fiesta28 [93]
The number of moles in a substance indicates the amount of the substance that contains the same number of particles as 12 g of the Carbon-12 isotope [or equivalent to 6.02 × 10²³] (which is used as a standard in the world of moles).

Now,

          if     6.02 × 10²³ atoms are found in 1 mole ofsodium
   then let  9.76 × 10¹² atoms are found in     x

⇒     x  =    (9.76 × 10¹² )  ÷  (6.02 × 10²³)

            =  1.619 × 10⁻¹¹ mol


Now, mass = moles × molar mass

∴ mass of Na = 1.619 × 10⁻¹¹ mol ×  23 g/mol
                      = 3.72 × 10⁻¹⁰ g

Use the pop-up menus to label the following statements as either True of False.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

1 True

2. True

3. True

4. True

5. False

Explanation:

1. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl)  is a weak acid that forms when chlorine dissolves in water, and is partially dissociated, forming hypochlorite. HOCl is considered a strong oxidizing agent responsible for the killing action of germs in chlorine solutions.

2. Acetic acid is also known as ethanoic acid. It has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell, and is generally considered a weak acid. in a concentrated form, acetic acid can be corrosive.

3/4 . Methylene chloride is an organochloride compound with the formula CH2Cl2. It is  a colorless, volatile liquid with a moderately sweet aroma is widely used as a solvent. It is normally stable, non-flammable and non-explosive when mixed with air at temperatures below 100 °C, but its vapor is flammable only when present in relatively high concentrations of about 14% to 22% in air. Research shows that it is very much possibly carcinogenic, and it has been linked to cancer of the lungs, liver, pancreas, breast cancer and salivary gland cancer in laboratory animals.

5. Laboratory and medical waste are not to be disposed in the trash with regular wastes, as they are potentially toxic. Special disposal methods and agencies exists to take away such wastes.
