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

Darina [25.2K]
Based on the scenario, the matter escaping from the pot is an example of an : C. Open system because heat and matter are both able to enter or leave the system

The key word here is 'steam can be seen escaping from the pot' , which indicate that the matter and heat able to leave the system after it's entered.

A metal ion Mⁿ⁺ has a single electron. The highest energy line in its emission spectrum occurs at a frequency of 2.961 x 10¹⁶ Hz
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

z≅3

Atomic number is 3, So ion is Lithium ion (Li^+)

Explanation:

First of all

v=f*λ

In our case v=c

c=f*λ

λ=c/f

where:

c is the speed of light

f is the frequency

\lambda=\frac{3*10^8}{2.961*10^{16}}\\ \lambda=1.01317*10^{-8} m

Using Rydberg's Formula:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R*z^2*(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2})

Where:

R is Rydberg constant=1.097*10^7

z is atomic Number

For highest Energy:

n_1=1

n_2=∞

\frac{1}{1.01317*10^{-8}}=1.097*10^{7}*z^2*(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{\inf})\\z^2=8.99\\z=2.99

z≅3

Atomic number is 3, So ion is Lithium ion (Li^+)

saveliy_v [14]
The protons in an nucleus of an atom will not change unless a nuclear reaction takes place. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of the element. For a neutral atom, the number of electrons and protons are equal. When they are unequal, then the atom occurs as an ion. It will has a net charge with it. The ion O²⁻ has a net charge of negative positive 2 because it has 2 more electrons than its protons. Since neutral oxygen has 8 protons, then O²⁻ ion has 8 protons and 10 electrons.

If the dimensions of a cube-shaped cell with a volume of 1 pm were to
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Assuming the units are all supposed to be the same

A cube shaped cell with a 1 um³ volume would have a dimensions of 1 x 1 x 1   (because volume = length x width x height and 1 x 1 x 1 =1)

If we double the dimensions, we have a cube with the dimensions 2 x 2 x 2.

The surface area of each face of the cube is the length x width, so 2 x 2. This means the surface area of each face of the cube is 4 um².

There are 6 faces of a cube, so the total surface area is 6 x 4 um² = 24 um².
