There are 8.61 × 10²⁰ atoms in 0.290 g P₂O₅.
Step 1. Convert <em>grams of P₂O₅ to moles of P₂O₅</em>.

Step 2. Convert <em>moles of P₂O₅ to molecules of P₂O₅</em>.


Step 3. Convert <em>molecules of P₂O₅ to atoms</em>.
There are seven atoms in 1 mol P₂O₅.
∴ 
The answer is nuclear energy
Explanation:
1. Sedimentation and decantation cannot be used for all types of mixtures.
Decantation is a separation technique in which is used to separate immiscible liquids or mixtures containing liquid and solids within them.
In decantation, gravity is used to bring the denser materials to settle at the bottom.
For homogenous mixtures, it is not possible to use decantation. A solution of sugar and water will not decant.
2. Yes, mass of an object reduces the settling time of such object in a mixture.
The higher the mass, the faster the rate of settling. Also, as we know, mass is directly proportional to density. A body with a high density will settle faster in solution.
The cations has positive charges that are metals while the anions have negative charges that are non-metals. Upon reaction, there is an exchange in charges that are reflected in the subscripts of the atoms. In this case, compound AX2 must have a cation, A belonging to group 2 A with +2 charge and anion, X belonging to Group 7A with -1 charge. Answer is D.
