Density is the mass of compound divided by its volume can be shown as follows:
40 mL of snow having 20 g of mass calculated from density.
Now, 10 cm of snow = 3.93 inches = 20 g
As, 10 inches of rain will produce 11 inches of ice as the volume of ice is bigger than rain water.
10 inches rain = 11 inches snow
3.93 inches of snow produced by
Thus, 3.57 incehs of rain produces by 10 cm snow.
Answer:
Explanation:
Step 1. Identify the Group that contains X
We look at the consecutive ionization energies and hunt for a big jump between them
We see a big jump between n = 2 and n = 3. This indicates that X has two valence electrons.
We can easily remove two electrons, but the third electron requires much more energy. That electron must be in the stable, filled, inner core.
So, X is in Group 2 and P is in Group 15.
Step 2. Identify the Compound
X can lose two valence electrons to reach a stable octet, and P can do the same by gaining three electrons.
We must have 3 X atoms for every 2 P atoms.
The formula of the compound is .
