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

When 20 milliliters of 1.0m hcl is diluted to a total volume of 60 milliliters, the concentration of the resulting solution is?
Ksenya-84 [330]
In preparing diluted solutions from concentrated solutions we can use the following formula
c1v1 = c2v2
c1 and v1 are the concentration and volume of the concentrated solution respectively
c2 and v2 are the concentrations and volume of the diluted solution respectively
Substituting these values ,
20 mL x 1.0 M = C x 60 mL
C = 0.33 M
The concentration of the resulting diluted solutions is 0.33 M

How many miles of MgCI2 are there in 345 g of the compound?
Valentin [98]
MgCl2
Mg=24
Cl=35.5×2 = 71
rmm= 71+24=95g
1 mole = molar mass
1 mole = 95g
1g = 1/95 moles
345g= 1/95 × 345
3.6 moles
