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

Write balanced equations for each of the following by inserting the correct coefficients in the blanks:
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Balanced equation :

Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2KOH(aq) → Cu(OH)₂(s)  + 2KNO₃(aq)

Balancing a chemical equation :

A chemical equation shows us the substances involved in a chemical reaction - the substances that react (reactants) and the substances that are produced (products). In general, a chemical equation looks like this:

                                 Reactant →Product

According to the law of conservation of mass, when a chemical reaction occurs, the mass of the products should be equal to the mass of the reactants. Therefore, the amount of the atoms in each element does not change in the chemical reaction. As a result, the chemical equation that shows the chemical reaction needs to be balanced. A balanced chemical equation occurs when the number of the atoms involved in the reactants side is equal to the number of atoms in the products side.

what volume of a 0.149 m potassium hydroxide solution is required to neutralize 17.0 ml of a 0.112 m hydrobromic acid solution?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer: 12.78ml

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of KOH Vb = ?

Concentration of KOH Cb = 0.149 m

Volume of HBr Va = 17.0 ml

Concentration of HBr Ca = 0.112 m

The equation is as follows

HBr(aq) + KOH(aq) --> KBr(aq) + H2O(l)

and the mole ratio of HBr to KOH is 1:1 (Na, Number of moles of HBr is 1; while Nb, number of moles of KOH is 1)

Then, to get the volume of a 0.149 m potassium hydroxide solution Vb, apply the formula (Ca x Va)/(Cb x Vb) = Na/Nb

(0.112 x 17.0)/(0.149 x Vb) = 1/1

(1.904)/(0.149Vb) = 1/1

cross multiply

1.904 x 1 = 0.149Vb x 1

1.904 = 0.149Vb

divide both sides by 0.149

1.904/0.149 = 0.149Vb/0.149

12.78ml = Vb

Thus, 12.78 ml of potassium hydroxide solution is required.
