Answer:
can you explain the question
The empirical formula for the compound is - P₂O₅
the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound.
molecular formula is the actual ratio of components in a compound.
we have to first find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula
molecular mass - 283.89 g/mol
mass of empirical formula - 283.8 g
number of empirical units - 283.89 g/mol / 283.8 g
number of empirical units - 1.000
therefore empirical formula = molecular formula
molecular formula - P₂O₅
125 mile *1gallon/35 mi = 135/35 = (27/7) gallon gasoline
27/7 gallon * 1 L/0.264 gallon = 14.6 L gasoline
14.6 L gasoline * 2.5kg CO2/1L gasoline= 36.5 kg CO2
36.5 kg CO2 * 1lb/0.454 kg = 80.4 lb
Answer: 80.4 lb CO2
