Answer : The correct option is, $As_2O_5$

Explanation :

Diarsenic pentoxide having the formula, $As_2O_5$ . It is a covalent compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the two non-metals. The two non-metals are arsenic (As) and oxygen (O).

When the two arsenic atoms share their electrons to the five oxygen atoms to form $As_2O_5$ covalent compound.

The formula of covalent compound is given by :

The less electronegative element is written first.
The more electronegative element is written second.
If the prefixes are written with the elements then the prefix number is written in the subscript of the respective elements.

Hence, the formula for diarsenic pentoxide is, $As_2O_5$

A chef plans to mix 100% vinegar with italian dressing. the italian dressing contains 13% vinegar. the chef wants to make 150 mi

charle [14.2K]

To determine the volume of both concentration of vinegar, we need to set up two equations since we have two unknowns.

For the first equation, we do a mass balance:

mass of 100% vinegar + mass of 13% vinegar = mass of 42% vinegar

Assuming they have the same densities, then we can write this equation in terms of volume.

V(100%) + V(13%) = V(42%)
we let x = V(100%)
y = V(13%)

x + y = 150

For the second equation, we do a component balance:

1.00x + .13y = 150(.42)
x + .13y = 63

The two equations are
x + y = 150
x + .13y = 63

Solving for x and y,
x = 50
y = 100

Therefore, you need to mix 50 mL of the 100% vinegar and 100 mL of the 13% vinegar.
