Answer:

The answer to your question is:  PCl₃

Explanation:

Data

P = 10.15 mg

Cl = 34.85 mg

Convert mg to moles

                                  31 mg of P ----------------- 1 mmol

                                  10.15 mg  ------------------   x

                                  x = 0.327 mmol of P

                                   35.5 mg of Cl ------------  1 mmol

                                    34.85 mg -----------------  x

                                  x = 0.982 mmol of Cl

Divide by the lowest number of mmoles

For P = 0.327 / 0.327 = 1

For Cl = 0.982 / 0.327 = 3

Empirical formula

                               PCl₃

How are the particles in solid ice similar to the particles in liquid water, and water vapor? How are they different?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

The particles in most solids are closely packed together. Even though the particles are locked into place and cannot move or slide past each other, they still vibrate a tiny bit. ... However, ice is different from most solids: its molecules are less densely packed than in liquid water. This is why ice floats.

How much carbon dioxide is released when it is fully combusted with 4Kg of ethanol with more than enough oxygen? How do you work
Karolina [17]

Answer:

7.640 kg

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced complete combustion equation for ethanol

C₂H₆O + 3 O₂ ⇒ 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 4 kg (4000 g) of C₂H₆O

The molar mass of C₂H₆O is 46.07 g/mol.

4000 g × 1 mol/46.07 g = 86.82 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of CO₂ released

86.82 mol C₂H₆O × 2 mol CO₂/1 mol C₂H₆O = 173.6 mol CO₂

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 173.6 moles of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

173.6 mol × 44.01 g/mol = 7640 g = 7.640 kg

Explanation:

  • Elements and compounds are similar in that they are both made of atoms and in some cases molecules.
  • Methods of Breaking Down Compounds
  • The only way to break down a compound is through a chemical change. Sometimes, energy is needed for a chemical change to happen. Two ways to add energy to break down a compound are to apply heat and to apply an electric current.
