Subscripts are the identity of the element (the number of atoms) whereas coefficients are the number of molecules of the element.

If you change the subscript, you change the number of atoms an element has. This changes the entire element since each element in the periodic table have different atomic numbers.

All modern fertilizers use PO43- as a source of phosphorus. Use your knowledge of the old methods to determine the moles of phos
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The answer is 0.023 moles of phosphorus

Explanation:

The 15-15-15 fertilizer is a fertilizer of great versatility, made with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which makes it one of the fertilizers most used for fertilizer in the sowing plant, thus covering the crop requirements from planting. .

This fertilizer consists of 14.25% phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5). Therefore, we have to remove 14.25% at 10 grams of 15-15-15 fertilizer to calculate the moles of phosphorus. As follows:

Grams of P2O5 = 10 g x 0.1425 = 1.425 g

We calculate the molecular weight of phosphorus. We use the periodic table:

Phosphorus molecular weight = 2 x 30.97 = 61.94 g/mol

Now we calculate the moles of phosphorus in the fertilizer:

Phosphorus moles = 1,425 g/61.94 g/mol = 0.023 moles

The combustion of ethene in the presence of excess oxygen yields carbon dioxide and water: c2h4 (g) + 3o2 (g) → 2co2 (g) + 2h2o
meriva

Answer:

\boxed{-267.5}

Explanation:

You can calculate the entropy change of a reaction by using the standard molar entropies of reactants and products.

The formula is

\Delta_{r} S^{\circ} = \sum_n {nS_{\text{products}}^{\circ} - \sum_{m} {mS_{\text{reactants}}^{\circ}}}

The equation for the reaction is

                        C₂H₄(g) + 3O₂(g) ⟶ 2CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(ℓ)

ΔS°/J·K⁻¹mol⁻¹   219.5      205.0         213.6         69.9

\Delta_{r} S^{\circ} = (2\times213.6 + 2\times69.9) - (1\times219.5 + 3\times205.0)\\\\= 567.0 - 834.5 = \boxed{-267.5 \text{ J}\cdot\text{K}^{-1} \text{mol}^{-1}}

Try to rationalize the sign of ΔS∘rxn in each case.
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

a) decrease, gas

b) increase, gas

c) liquid

d) increase, solid

Explanation:

Entropy refers to the degree of disorderliness of a system. If the number of moles of gas increases from left to right in a reaction, the entropy of the system increases positively.

Similarly, when the number of liquid molecules remain constant, there could only be a very little increase in entropy.

However, solids have the least entropy and the entropy of a system decreases when a system yields solid products.

Calculate the [oh−] in a solution with a ph of 12.52.
BaLLatris [955]
PH + pOH = 14

12.52 + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - 12.52

pOH = 1.48

[OH⁻] = 10^ -pOH

[OH⁻] = 10 ^- 1.48

[OH⁻] = 0.033 M
