The best answer is the second statement. It is considered as a universal solvent since most substances dissolve in water. And comparing it to other liquids, it is the one who dissolves a wide range of substances. Also, it is an important substance for every living thing.

Zinc phosphate is used as a dental cement. A 50.00-mg sample is broken down into its constituent elements and gives 16.58 mg oxy
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Zn3P2O8

Explanation:

In this particular question, it is necessary to convert the respective masses to percentages. We convert to percentages by placing each mass over the total mass and multiplying by 100%. Since the total is 50mg, conversion to percentage can be done by multiplying the masses by 2 as 100/50 is 2

For Oxygen = 16.58 * 2 = 33.16%

For phosphorus = 8.02 * 2 = 16.04%

For zinc = 25.40 * 2 = 50.80%

We then proceed to divide these percentages by their respective atomic masses. The atomic mass of oxygen, phosphorus and zinc are 16, 31 and 65 respectively.

O = 33.16/16 = 2.0725

P = 16.04/31 = 0.5174

Zn = 50.80/65 = 0.7815

Now, we divide by the smallest value which is that of the phosphorus

O = 2.0725/0.5174 = 4

P = 0.5174/0.5174 = 1

Zn= 0.7815/0.5174 = 1.5

Now, we need to multiply through by 2. This yields: O = 8, P = 2 and Zn = 3

The empirical formula is thus: Zn3P2O8

What would be the temperature of 0.6 moles of fluorine that occupy 15 L at 2,300 mmHg?
Anna [14]

Answer: The temperature of 0.6 moles of fluorine that occupy 15 L at 2,300 mmHg is 920 K

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = pressure of gas = 2300 mm Hg = 3.02 atm  (760mmHg=1atm)

V = Volume of gas = 15 L

n = number of moles = 0.6

R = gas constant =0.0821Latm/Kmol

T =temperature = ?

T=\frac{PV}{nR}

T=\frac{3.02atm\times 15L}{0.0821Latm/K mol\times 0.6mol}=920K

Thus the temperature of 0.6 moles of fluorine that occupy 15 L at 2,300 mmHg is 920 K

As the temperature is increased how does the substance move?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The movement of substances may occur across a semi‐permeable membrane (such as the plasma membrane). A semi‐permeable membrane allows some substances to pass through, but not others.
