Step  one  calculate  the  moles  of  each  element
that  is  moles= %  composition/molar  mass
molar  mass  of    Ca  =  40g/mol,     S=  32  g/mol ,   O=  16 g/mol

moles  of      Ca = 29.4 /40g/mol=0.735 moles,      S= 23.5/32  =0.734 moles,  O= 47.1/16= 2.94   moles

calculate  the mole  ratio  by  dividing   each  mole with  smallest  mole   that   is  0.734
Ca=  0.735/0.734= 1,      S=  0.734/0.734 =1,   O  = 2.94/  0.734= 4
therefore  the  emipical  formula  =  CaSO4

Which is the Lewis structure for H3PO4?
Fed [463]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • The correct structure of phosphoric acid is A.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

  • P should form five covalent bonds. In this strcuture P form three single bond with 3-hydroxyl groups while one single bondformed with oxygen. As oxygen will form two bonds , it carry negative charge, while P should form five bond but here it is forming 4 bonds due to this P has positive charge but overall structure contain neutral charge due to cancellation of positive and negative charges. Beside this, there are 3 H,  Four O and One P according to formula H3PO4.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIIS QUESTION
sdas [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 5 carbon compounds due to low to high intermolecular forces between their molecules.

Explanation:

Bottle C has gas in it and we know that alkane has carbon and hydrogen only which means they have a single sigma bond between them and very low intermolecular forces in between molecules and are present mostly at gaseous state. Thus, bottle C has alkane.

Alcohols have -OH group that can form rarely two pi bonds which means they have intermediate intermolecular force whereas acids have -cooH group with a high molecular force so bottle B with liquid is alcohol and A has acid.
