Answer:

$Fe_3PO_4$

Explanation:

To do this, we find the moles of each element. We get around 0.155 moles of Fe, 0.051 moles of P, and 0.206 moles of O. We then divide each one by the smallest one (which is 0.051 moles of P). We then get 3 for Fe, 1 for P, and 4 for O. This correlates to the empirical formula of the compound.

The property of a substance stays ______________ no matter how the substance is used.

Irina18 [472]

Any substance changes to another substance that means the change of the physical property. Like water () has different state which changes as the temperature changes. It remain as liquid in the room temperature, in solid form at or below 0°C and vapor phase on or above 100°C. But in all the stage or phase of the substance the composition of the water i.e. remains. Thus the chemical property remains fixed when a substance change to other substance.

Use bond energies to calculate the enthalpy of reaction for the combustion of ethane. Average bond energies in kJ/mol C-C 347, C

ivanzaharov [21]

The enthalpy of reaction for the combustion of ethane 2CH₃CH₃ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O calculated from the average bond energies of the compounds is -2860 kJ/mol.

The reaction is:

2CH₃CH₃ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O (1)

The enthalpy of reaction (1) is given by:

$\Delta H = \Delta H_{r} - \Delta H_{p}$ (2)
