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>

When a soda can is dropped, it should not be immediately opened. Why?
Kipish [7]
<span>The pressure inside a coke bottle is really high. This helps keep the soda carbonated. That is, the additional pressure at the surface of the liquid inside the bottle forces the bubbles to stay dissolved within the soda. </span><span>When the coke is opened, there is suddenly a great pressure differential. The initial loud hiss that is heard is this pressure differential equalizing itself. All of the additional pressure found within the bottle pushes gas out of the bottle until the pressure inside the bottle is the same as the pressure outside the bottle. </span><span>However, once this occurs, the pressure inside the bottle is much lower and the gas bubbles that had previously been dissolved into the soda have nothing holding them in the liquid anymore so they start rising out of the liquid. As they reach the surface, they pop and force small explosions of soda. These explosions are the source of the popping and hissing that continues while the soda is opened to the outside air. Of course, after a while, the soda will become "flat" when the only gas left dissolved in the liquid will be the gas that is held back by the relatively weak atmospheric pressure.</span>

The weak acid HZ has a Ka of 2.55x10⁻⁴.(a) Calculate the pH of 0.075 M HZ.
Dima020 [189]

<u>2.37</u> is the pH of 0.075 M HZ.

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

The term pH, which originally stood for "potential of hydrogen" (or "power of hydrogen"), is used in chemistry to describe how acidic or basic an aqueous solution is. Lower pH values are summarized for acidic solutions (solutions with higher H+ ion concentrations) than for basic or alkaline solutions.

The pH scale is inversely indicates to the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and is logarithmic.

⇒pH = -log(a_{H+})

Acidic solutions are those with a pH below 7, and basic solutions are those with a pH above 7, at a temperature of 25 °C (77 °F). At this temperature, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral (e.g. pure water). The pH neutrality relies on temperature, falling below 7 if the temperature rises above 25 °C.
