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
Answer:
10.28 mol
Explanation:
S + 2O = SO2
(atm x L) ÷ (0.0821 x K)
(3.45 x 45.6) ÷ (0.0821 x 373)
=5.13726
Then round it to significant figures
=5.14
5.14 mol SO2 x (2 mol O ÷ 1 mol SO2)
=10.28 mol O
