Answer:

N3H12PO3

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Nitrogen (N) = 31.57%

Hydrogen (H) = 9.10%

Phosphorus (P) = 23.27%

Oxygen (O) = 36.06%

Step 2:

Divide by their molar masses.

This is illustrated below:

N = 31.57/14 = 2.255

H = 9.10/ 1 = 9.1

P = 23.27/31 = 0.751

O = 36.06/16 = 2.254

Step 3:

Divide by the smallest number. This is illustrated below:

N = 2.255/0.751 = 3

H = 9.1 /0.751 = 12

P = 0.751 /0.751 = 1

O = 2.254/0.751 = 3

The empirical formula is N3H12PO3

Answer:

The empirical formula is: <u>N3H12PO3</u>

Explanation:

To calculate the empirical formula, the values ​​of each element must first be taken in 100gr of the compound:

  • 31.57% Nitrogen = <u>31.57gr N </u>
  • 9.10% Hydrogen = <u>9.10 gr H </u>
  • 23.27% Phosphorus = <u>23.27gr P </u>
  • 36.06% Oxygen = <u>36.06gr O </u>

Then the grams of each element are divided by their atomic weight:

  • 31.57grN / 14U =<u> 2,255 N </u>
  • 9.10grH / 1.001U = <u>9.091 H </u>
  • 23.27grP / 31U = <u>0.75 P </u>
  • 36.06grO / 16U = <u>2.253 O </u>

Then each data is divided by the smallest number that is that of Phosphorus:

  • 2,255 N / 0.75 = <u>3N </u>
  • 9,091 H / 0.75 = <u>12H </u>
  • 0.75 P / 0.75 = <u>1 P </u>
  • 2,253 O / 0.75 = <u>3 O </u>

And the data we use is put into a formula of the compound:

  • NHPO

And its values ​​are assigned:

  • <u>N3H12PO3</u>

True or false. An excited state is less stable than a ground state
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: True!

Explanation: As electrons that are excited move between energy levels, they emit lots and lots of energy, in fact way more energy than ground state electrons (electrons that move within the same energy level) do, thus, making them more unstable.

PLEASE HELP!?!.!,! What are the products of the combustion of a hydrocarbon?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

carbon dioxide and water

Explanation:

Example: Combustion of Methane (CH₄(g))

CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) => CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)**

____________________

Note: The combustion of any hydrocarbon produces CO₂ & H₂O. That is,

Ethane (C₂H₆) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Propane (C₃H₈) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Butane (C₄H₁₀) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

The issue remaining is to balance the reaction equation. For these type equation balance Carbon 1st, then Hydrogen and finish with Oxygen. Balancing in this order leaves Oxygen which can be balanced using fractions. If problem requires lowest whole number ratios of elements, simply multiply entire equation by 2 to get standard equation*

______________________

*Standard Equation is defined as the smallest whole number ratios of elements. The 'standard equation' is significant in that it is assumed to be at STP conditions; i.e., 0⁰C (=273K) & 1.0 Atmosphere pressure.

  • Ethane (C₂H₆) + 7/2O₂(g) => 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)

    => 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)  <= Standard Form of Rxn

  • Propane (C₃H₈) + 5O₂(g) => 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn (no need to balance with the '2' multiple)
  • Butane (C₄H₁₀) + 13/2O₂ => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g)

    => 2C₃H₈ + 13O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn

______________________

**Also, note that water, H₂O(g), is listed as a gas. In some cases it will be listed as a liquid, H₂O(l).

How is the concentration of h3o ions and oh- ions different in an acid solution and a basic soulution?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
In an acidic solution, the concentration of H+ is greater than the concentration of OH-. The pH will be less than 7.
In a basic solution, the concentration of OH- is greater than the concentration of H+. The pH will be greater than 7.
In a neutral solution, the concentration of H+ ions to OH-ions will be equal, and will therefore have a pH of 7. (This is due to water autoionization, which we usually ignore because it is small in other circumstances.)
