Answer:

PI₃

Explanation:

The empirical formula is found using the molar ratio between phosphorus and iodine.

The phosphorus composes 7.523% by weight of the substance, or 7.523g of phosphorus per gram of the substance. The moles of phosphorus per gram of substance is calculated using the atomic weight of phosphorus (30.97 g/mol):

(7.523g P) / (1 g substance) x (mol/30.97g P) = (0.2429 mol P) / (1 g substance)

Similarly, the moles of iodine (atomic weight 126.90 g/mol) per gram of substance is found:

(92.48 g I) / (1 g substance) x (mol/126.90 g I) = (0.7288 mol I) / (1 g substance)

The molar ratio between P and I is found by dividing the two values calculated above:

(0.7288 mol I) / (1 g substance) ÷ (0.2429 mol P) / (1 g substance) = (3.00 mol I) / (mol P)

Thus, the ratio of iodine to phosphorus is 3:1, so the empirical formula (the simplest formula) is PI₃

As a real gas deviates from ideal gas behavior, the particles _____
Alik [6]

Answer:

Have some attraction towards each other

Explanation:

Gases deviate from the ideal gas behavior because their molecules have forces of attraction between them. At high pressure, the molecules of gases are very close to each other so the molecular interactions start operating and these molecules do not strike the walls of the container with full impact.

Hope this helps :-)

Answer:

N - 1s²2s²2p³

Explanation:

Nitrogen is located in the p-block of the periodic table (groups 13-18) and is on the 2nd period.

The 2nd period tells us the principal energy level (a quantum number) is n = 2. Therefore, it must have already filled up the 1s sublevel.

The groups 13-18 on period 2 tells us that the 2s sublevel is also filled.

Nitrogen is located in Group 15. That means that there are 3 electrons that have filled the 2p sublevel, out of a possible 6.

Therefore, our electron configuration is 1s²2s²2p³

2p³ (Shorthand Config)

[He] 2s²2p³ (Noble Gas Config)
