Calcium phosphate does not dissolve in water but in acid it does.Similarly cobalt phosphate is also soluble in acidic solution as it get dispersed in the acid solution.
When cobalt phosphate dissolves in acidic solution as it get strongly attracted by the acid molecules and dissociates into cobalt(III) ions, hydrogen phosphate and water molecule.
Hence, the net ionic equation for cobalt phosphate in hydronium ion is given above.
Carbon and hydrogen are the only two elements in a hydrocarbon. When a hydrocarbon combusts completely in excess oxygen, the products would be and . The and would come from the hydrocarbon, while the atoms would come from oxygen.
Look up the relative atomic mass of these three elements on a modern periodic table:
: .
: .
: .
Calculate the molar mass of and :
.
Calculate the number of moles of molecules in of :
.
Similarly, calculate the number of moles of molecules in of :
.
Note that there is one carbon atom in every molecule. Approximately of molecules would correspond to the same number of atoms. That is: .
On the other hand, there are two hydrogen atoms in every molecule. approximately of molecules would correspond to twice as many atoms. That is: .
The ratio between the two is: .
The empirical formula of a compound gives the smallest whole-number ratio between the elements. For this hydrocarbon, the empirical formula would be .
