The atoms undergo chemical changes.
New substances may be a product of the reaction.
Answer:
Conservation of Energy and Mass
The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction mass is neither created nor destroyed. ... Similarly, the law of conservation of energy states that the amount of energy is neither created nor destroyed.
Grams of Phosphorus = 4.14 grams
Grams of white compound = 27.8 grams
Grams of Chlorine would be = 27.8 - 4.14 = 23.66 grams
Calculating moles which would be grams / molar mass
Molar mass of P = 30.97 grams / moles; Molar mass of Cl = 35.45 grams / moles
Moles of Phosphorus = 4.14 grams / 30.97 grams / moles = 0.1337 moles
Moles of Chlorine = 23.66 grams / 35.45 grams / moles = 0.6674 moles
Calculating the ratios by dividing with the small entity
P = 0.1337 moles / 0.1337 moles = 1
Cl = 0.6674 moles / 0.1337 moles = 5
So the empirical formula would be PCl5
Hey there!:
density = 3.51 g/cm³
Volume = 0.0270 cm³
Therefore:
D = m / V
3.51 = m / 0.0270
m = 3.51 * 0.0270
m = 0.09477 g
