Air is mainly composed of N2 (78%), O2 (21%) and other trace gases. Now, the total pressure of air is the sum of the partial pressures of the constituent gases. The partial pressure of each gas, for example say O2, can be expressed as:

p(O2) = mole fraction of O2 * P(total, air) ----(1)

Thus, the partial pressure is directly proportional to the total pressure. If we consider a sealed container then, as the temperature of air increases so will its pressure. Based on equation (1) an increase in the pressure of air should also increase the partial pressure of oxygen.

Compound X has a molar mass of 416.48 g mol

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

P₂Cl₁₀

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Molar mass of compound X = 416.48 g/mol

Percentage of phosphorus (P) = 14.87%

Percentage of Chlorine (Cl) = 85.13%

Molecular formula of X =?

Next, we shall determine the empirical formula of compound X. This can be obtained as follow:

P = 14.87%

Cl = 85.13%

Divide by their molar mass

P = 14.87 / 31 = 0.480

Cl = 85.13 / 35.5 = 2.398

Divide by the smallest

P = 0.480 / 0.480 = 1

Cl = 2.398 / 0.480 = 5

Empirical formula of compound X is PCl₅

Finally, we shall determine the molecular formula of compound X. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of compound X = 416.48 g/mol

Empirical formula = PCl₅

Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula= [Empirical formula]ₙ

[PCl₅]ₙ = 416.48

[31 + (35.5 × 5)]ₙ = 416.48

[31 + 177.5]n = 416.48

208.5n = 416.48

Divide both side by 208.5

n = 416.48 / 208.5

n = 2

Molecular formula = [PCl₅]ₙ

Molecular formula = [PCl₅]₂

Molecular formula = P₂Cl₁₀

Therefore, the molecular formula of compound X is P₂Cl₁₀

Solid silver chloride, AgCI(s), decomposes to its elements when exposed to sunlight Write a balanced equation for this reaction

Mrac [35]

Answer: The coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

Decomposition of silver chloride is represented as:

$2AgCl(s)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cl_2(g)$

Thus the coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.
