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

Chemistry

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

How does photosynthesis and cellular respiration depend on each other
Monica [59]

Photosynthesis is the process where plants create energy. It requires water, carbon dioxide and sunlight. The end result is glucose, which the plants consume, and oxygen. Cellular respiration requires oxygen and glucose. The end result is carbon dioxide, ATP, and water.

Define atomic numberand mass number. Which can vary without changing the identity of the element?
Volgvan

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of an element which represents total number of protons.

When an atom is neutral then it means it contains same number of protons and electrons.

On the other hand, atomic mass is defined as the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.

Protons of every element remains fixed because it shows the identity of each element but if we change the number of neutrons then also identity of the atom will remain fixed. This is because changing the number of neutrons will not show any change in number of protons.

For example, ^{2}_{1}H and ^{3}_{1}H are isotopes of hydrogen and they have same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

Thus, we can conclude that number of neutrons can vary without changing the identity of the element.

A container initially holds 5.67 x 10^-2 mol of propane and has a volume of V1. The volume of the container was increased by add
Brut [27]

Answer:

Initial volume of the container (V1) = 1.27 L (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Number of mol (n1) = 5.67 x 10⁻²

Number of mol (n2) = (5.67 +2.95) x 10⁻² = 8.62 x 10⁻²

New volume (V2) = 1.93 L

Find:

Initial volume of the container (V1)

Computation:

Using Avogadro's law

V1 / n1 = V2 / n2

V1 / 5.67 x 10⁻² = 1.93 / 8.62 x 10⁻²

V1 = 10.9431 / 8.62

Initial volume of the container (V1) = 1.2695

Initial volume of the container (V1) = 1.27 L (Approx)

Can someone help with question 6 ASAP
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

A metalloid is a type of chemical element which has a preponderance of properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals. There is no standard definition of a metalloid and no complete agreement on which elements are metalloids. Despite the lack of specificity, the term remains in use in the literature of chemistry.

A series of six elements called the metalloids separate the metals from the nonmetals in the periodic table. The metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. These elements look metallic; however, they do not conduct electricity as well as metals so they are semiconductors. They are semiconductors because their electrons are more tightly bound to their nuclei than are those of metallic conductors. Their chemical behavior falls between that of metals and nonmetals. For example, the pure metalloids form covalent crystals like the nonmetals, but like the metals, they generally do not form monatomic anions. This intermediate behavior is in part due to their intermediate electronegativity values. In this section, we will briefly discuss the chemical behavior of metalloids and deal with two of these elements—boron and silicon—in more detail.
