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>

What elements are being reduced and oxidized in this chemical formula?
dangina [55]

Answer: The element Na (Sodium) is getting oxidized and Hydrogen is getting reduced.

Explanation:

Oxidation reactions are the reactions in which addition of oxygen takes place.

Reduction reactions are the reactions in which loss of oxygen takes place.

For a given reaction:

2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2(g)+2NaOH(aq.)

Sodium is getting oxidized because there is an addition of reaction with that element.

Hydrogen is getting reduced because there is a removal of oxygen with that element.

Balance the reaction for the combustion of pentane: ?C5H12+?O2→?CO2+?H2O Enter the four coefficients in order, separated by comm
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The four coefficients in order, separated by commas are 1, 8, 5, 6

Explanation:

We count the atoms in order to balance this combustion reaction. In combustion reactions, the products are always water and carbon dioxide.

C₅H₁₂  +  ?O₂→  ?CO₂ + ?H₂O

We have 12 hydrogen in right side and we can balance with 6 in the left side. But the number of oxygen is odd. We add 2 in the  right side, so we have 24 H, and in the product side we add a 12.

As we add 2 in the C₅H₁₂, we have 10 C, so we must add 10 to the CO₂ in the product side.

Let's count the oxygens: 20 from the CO₂ + 12 from the water = 32.

We add 16 in the reactant side. Balanced equation is:

2C₅H₁₂  + 16O₂→  10CO₂ + 12H₂O

We also can divide by /2 in order to have the lowest stoichiometry

C₅H₁₂  + 8O₂→  5CO₂ + 6H₂O

What type(s) of bonding would be expected for each of the following materials: brass (a copper-zinc alloy), rubber, barium sulfi
mr_godi [17]

The force of attraction that results in holding of atoms or ions together in a molecule or crystal is said be bonding.  Bond formation can take place by either attraction or transfer of electrons. There are single, double, and triple bonds.  There are many types of bonding namely:

Covalent (sharing of electrons takes place).

Ionic (transfer of electrons takes place).

Metallic (ionized atoms of metals and the sea of electrons around them).

  • Brass (a copper-zinc alloy)

Brass is an alloy of metal that is copper and zinc. Hence, the metallic bonding is present in the brass.

  • Rubber

It is a polymer whose monomer unit is isoprene, which is a covalent compound. The isoprene units are attached in repeated units to form rubber by covalent bonding.

  • Barium sulfide (BaS)

Due to the large electronegativity difference between barium and sulfur, barium sulfide is an ionic compound. Thus, ionic bonding is present in barium sulfide.

  • Solid xenon

Only xenon atoms are present in solid xenon which are interacted by weak Van der Waal's interactions.

  • Bronze

Bronze is an alloy of metal that is copper and tin. Hence, the metallic bonding is present in the brass.

  • Nylon

It is a polymer whose monomer unit is caprolactam, which is a covalent compound. The caprolactam units are attached in repeated units to form nylon by covalent bonding.

  • Aluminum phosphide (AlP)

Aluminum phosphide is a covalent compound and thus involves covalent bonding.

If an object has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s and a force of 58.8N what is the mass of an object ? What could the object be
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The mass of an object  is 0.6122 Kg

Explanation:

Given:

Acceleration  = 9.8 m/s

Force  = 58.8 N

To Find:

Mass of an object = ?

Solution:

We know that according to newtons 2nd law

Force is the product of the mass and acceleration

F= ma

where

F = Force

m = mass

a =  Acceleration

Substituting the values,

58.8 = m X  9.8

m= \frac{58.8}{9.8}

m = 0.6122 kg
