Answer:

Covalent Bonding

Explanation:

P4O10 is a chemical compound generally known as Phosphorus pentoxide, derived from its empirical formula P2O5. P4O10 is technically called tetraphosphorus decaoxide, but under normal conditions it only exists as the dimer of P2O5, which is phosphorus (V) oxide, or phosphorus pentaoxide.

P4010 consists of two elements; phosphorus and oxygen. P4O10 is a covalent compound. This is because Phosphorous and Oxygen are both nonmetals, the bond formed is as a result of sharing of electrons.

In fractional distillation, liquid can be seen running from the bottom of the distillation column back into the distilling flask
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

substances with a higher boiling point are returning back to the flask which allows another substances with the specific context temperature (lower boiling point) to boil over and be purified.

Explanation:

The reason it happens because the lower boiling point substance vaporizes and crosses over while the other substance is waiting for its boiling point to reach

Write the formula for calcium chloride. Explain how you determined this formula
hichkok12 [17]

Calcium forms an ion with a positive 2 charge and chlorine forms an ion with a negative one charg, so the formula is <span>CaC<span>l2</span></span>

Group 1 metals and group 2 metals form positive ions by losing 1 and 2 electrons respectively. Non-metals in group 17 gain 1, group 16 gain 2 and group 15 gain 3. Elements which lose electrons form positive ions while elements that gain electrons form negative ions. 

To write a formula, you must balance charges so the overall charge is zero. A simple way to do this is to swap the # of the ion's charge and make it the subscript of the other ion. However, leave off the number 1 and reduce to lowest whole number ratio.

Empirical formula of a compound composed of 32.1 g potassium (k) and 6.57 g oxygen (o)?
tester [92]

The empirical formula is K₂O.

The empirical formula is the <em>simplest whole-number ratio</em> of atoms in a compound.

The <em>ratio of atom</em>s is the same as the <em>ratio of moles</em>.

So, our job is to calculate the <em>molar ratio</em> of K to O.

Step 1. Calculate the <em>moles of each element </em>

Moles of K = 32.1 g K × (1 mol K/(39.10 g K =) = 0.8210 mol K

Moles of O = 6.57 g O × (1 mol O/16.00 g O) = 0.4106 mol 0

Step 2. Calculate the <em>molar ratio of each elemen</em>t

Divide each number by the smallest number of moles and round off to an integer

K:O = 0.8210:0.4106 = 1.999:1 ≈ 2:1

Step 3: Write the <em>empirical formula </em>

EF = K₂O

A chemist adds 215.0mL of a 6.0x10^−5/mmolL mercury(II) iodide HgI2 solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the micromoles of me
Snezhnost [94]

The micromoles of mercury(II) iodide : 0.013 μ moles

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

215.0mL of a 6.0x10⁻⁵mmol/L HgI₂

Required

micromoles of HgI₂

Solution

Molarity(M) = moles of solute per liters of solution

Can be formulated :

M = n : V

n = moles

V = volume of solution

V = 215 mL = 0.215 L

so moles of solution :

n = M x V

n = 6.10 mmol/L x 0.215 L

n = 1.312 . 10⁻⁵ mmol

mmol = 10³ micromol

so 1.312 mmol = 1.312.10⁻⁵ x 10³ = 0.01312 micromoles ⇒ 2 sif fig = 0.013 μ moles
