Hi there! All of the water returns to the atmosphere, it's called evapotranspiration and condenses. And then the water falls back to the Earth's surface and starts the cycle all over again. If you don't know what I mean, it's the Water Cycle.
An ionic compound is formed between a metal and a non metal. The metal being electropositive can form a cation by transferring the electron to the electronegative non metal that gains the electrons to form an anion. Both the elements try to get a stable octet configuration by the transfer of electrons. The number of electrons lost by metal will be equal to the number of electrons gained by the non metal. Hence, the magnitude of positive charge on the cation will be equal to the magnitude of negative charge on the anion. Therefore, the overall charge on the compound will be 0
So the correct answer is the sum of all charges in the formula for an ionic compound is 0
Answer:
P4Se3
Explanation:
Applying the Law of Conservation of Mass:
(133 mg total) - (45.8 mg P) = 87.2 mg Se
Dividing by the molar mass,
Phosphorus:-(45.8 mg P) / (30.97376 g P/mol) = 1.4786 mmol P
Selenium:-(87.2 mg Se) / (78.96 g Se/mol) = 1.1044 mmol Se
Divide by the smaller number of millimoles:
(1.4786 mmol P) / 1.1044 mmol = 1.339
(1.1044 mmol Se) / 1.1044 mmol = 1.000
multiply by 3, to get a whole number interger. then round to the nearest whole numbers to find the empirical formula.
Therefore the empirical formula is P4Se3
