Answer:

P4Se3

Explanation:

Applying the Law of Conservation of Mass:

(133 mg total) - (45.8 mg P) = 87.2 mg Se

Dividing by the molar mass,

Phosphorus:-(45.8 mg P) / (30.97376 g P/mol) = 1.4786 mmol P

Selenium:-(87.2 mg Se) / (78.96 g Se/mol) = 1.1044 mmol Se

Divide by the smaller number of millimoles:

(1.4786 mmol P) / 1.1044 mmol = 1.339

(1.1044 mmol Se) / 1.1044 mmol = 1.000

multiply by 3, to get a whole number interger. then round to the nearest whole numbers to find the empirical formula.

Therefore the empirical formula is P4Se3

What happens to the mass of substances during a physical change?
Anna [14]

Here are the answers in order:

1. During a physical change the substance changes physically.

2. The law of conservation of mass is a law stating the conservation of mass cannot be higher than 46mg or lower than 32mg.

3. A hypothesis is a guess that you make before completing a science experiment, it can be considered a law because it is important to know why you are making the guess.

4. During a chemical change the mass is changing colors. This is a representation of a chemical change.

5. Oil is a non-renewable resource, so it cannot demonstrate the conservation of mass.

6. When the color of the substance has changed or when it explodes.

7. Reactants are the objects that react when in a chemical change.

8. If you follow the rule of not going higher than 46mg and not lower than 32mg then it will automatically follow this law.

Chemical Reactions Part One Video:

1. mass

2. erupt-ant

3. reactant

4. object

5. mixtures

6. molecules

7. color changed

Questions again:

1. A chemical reaction

2. A physical change

3. Because if it is no higher than 46mg and no lower than 32mg then it will follow on it's own.

3. If you start with 8x1025 molecules of Cl, and 25 grams of KI, how many grams of KCl would
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Percent yield = 89.1%

Explanation:

Based on the equation:

Cl₂ + 2KI → 2KCl + I₂

<em>1 mole of Cl₂ reacts with 2 moles of KI to produce to moles of KCl</em>

<em />

To solve this quesiton we must find the moles of each reactant in order to find the limiting reactant. With the limiting reactant we can find the moles of KCl and the mass:

<em>Moles Cl₂:</em>

8x10²⁵ molecules * (1mol / 6.022x10²³ molecules) = 133 moles

<em>Moles KI -Molar mass: 166.0028g/mol-</em>

25g * (1mol / 166.0028g) = 0.15 moles

Here, clarely, the KI is the limiting reactant

As 2 moles of KI produce 2 moles of KCl, the moles of KCl produced are 0.15 moles. The theoretical mass is:

0.15 moles * (74.5513g / mol) =

11.2g KCl

Percent yield is: Actual yield (10.0g) / Theoretical yield (11.2g) * 100

<h3>Percent yield = 89.1%</h3>

The AP Biology teacher is measuring out 638.0 g of dextrose (C6H12O6) for a lab. How many moles of dextrose is this equivalent t
Katena32 [7]

The AP Biology teacher is measuring out 638.0 g of dextrose (C6H12O6) for a lab the moles of dextrose is this equivalent to is 3.6888 moles.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

A mole is described as 6.02214076 × 1023 of a few chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a handy unit to apply due to the tremendous variety of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

To calculate molar equivalents for every reagent, divide the moles of that reagent through the moles of the restricting reagent. The calculation is follows:

  • 655/12 x 6 + 12+ 16 x 6
  • = 655/ 180 = 3.6888 moles.
