Answer : The correct name for the compound, $P_2O_5$ is, Diphosphorous pentoxide.

Explanation :

$P_2O_5$ is a covalent compound because in this compound the sharing of electrons takes place between phosphorous and oxygen. Both the elements are non-metals. Hence, it will form covalent bond.

The naming of covalent compound is given by:

The less electronegative element is written first.
The more electronegative element is written second. Then a suffix is added with it. The suffix added is '-ide'.
If atoms of an element is greater than 1, then prefixes are added which are 'mono' for 1 atom, 'di' for 2 atoms, 'tri' for 3 atoms and so on.

Hence, the correct name for the compound, $P_2O_5$ is, Diphosphorous pentoxide.

A geochemist in the field takes a 46.0 mL sample of water from a rock pool lined with crystals of a certain mineral compound X.

inysia [295]

Answer:

The solubility of the mineral compound X in the water sample is 0.0189 g/mL.

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

The volume of water sample = 46.0 mL.

The weight of the mineral compound X after evaporation, drying, and washing = 0.87 g.

Step 2: Calculate the solubility of X in water

46.00 mL of water sample contains 0.87 g of the mineral compound X.

To calulate how many grams of the mineral compound 1.0 mL of water sample contains:

0.87 g/46.0 mL = 0.0189 g.

This means the solubility of the mineral compound X in the water sample is 0.0189 g/mL.
