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>

One brand of vinegar has a pH of 4.5. Another brand has a pH of 5.0. The equation for the pH of a substance is pH = –log[H+], wh
grigory [225]
[H+] in first brand:
4.5 = -log([H+])
[H+] = 10^(-4.5)

[H+] in second brand:
5 = -log[H+]
[H+] = 10^(-5)

Difference = 10^(-4.5) - 10^(-5)
= 2.2 x 10⁻⁵

The answer is A.

The number of neutrons in an atom can be found by subtracting the atomic number from the what?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

This approximation of mass can be used to easily calculate how many neutrons an element has by simply subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. Protons and neutrons both weigh about one atomic mass unit or amu. Isotopes of the same element will have the same atomic number but different mass numbers.
