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

Which response gives the products of hydrolysis
Pie

Answer:

NH₃ and H⁺

Explanation:

The dissociation of NH₄Cl will lead to two ions , i.e. , NH⁴⁺  and Cl⁻ .

Hence , the reaction is -

NH₄Cl  →  NH⁴⁺   +   Cl⁻

We can conclude that  NH₄Cl can be formed from the ions , NH⁴⁺  and Cl⁻

Hence ,

According to the reaction ,

NH⁴⁺ + H₂O  ⇆  NH₃ + H₃O⁺

Therefore ,

The reactant that will lead to the formation of NH₄Cl are -  NH₃ and H⁺

Which of the following compounds has the highest boiling point.
nlexa [21]
Answer:
            1-<u>Pentanol </u>has the highest boiling point.

Explanation:
                   Boiling points of given compounds are as follow,

                 1) 2-Pentanone  =  101 °C

                 2) 1-Pentanol  =  138 °C

                 3)  Pentane  =  36.1 °C

                 4)  Pentanal  =  103 °C

Pentanol has greatest boiling point as compare to others because it involes a strongest intermolecular interactions called as hydrogen bond interactions. Remaining compounds lack the direct attachement of hydrogen to most electrnegative atom like oxygen which is present in 1-Pentanol.
