Answer:

The chemical formula of the compound is $P_2O_5$ .

Explanation:

In 1 mole of $P_2O_x$ there are 2 moles of phosphorus atom.

Then 3.3 moles of phosphorus will be in :

$\frac{1}{2}\times 3.3 mol=1.65 moles$

In 1 mole of $P_2O_x$ there are x moles of oxygen atom.Then 1.65 moles of compound will have :

$1.65 mol\times x$

Moles of oxygen in 1.65 moles of compound = 8.20 mol

$1.65 mol\times x=8.20 mol$

$x=\frac{8.20 mol}{1.65 mol}=4.9 \approx 5$

The chemical formula of the compound is $P_2O_5$ .

Which list best represents the flow of stimuli information in the body?

Vlad1618 [11]

The flow of stimuli information in the body is from the receptors to sensory neuron (afferent neurons) to the interneurons then to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) then is carried of by the motor neurons (efferent neurons) to the mucles involve.

Sensation to transduction to perception. Sensation is the ambiguous information which is received by the receptors or sensory organ henceforth, transduction occurs in the nerve cell protruding to the brain and is now called perception as the vague stimuli is interpreted and processed to be understood then is responded with the proper and apt response or reaction.

Which of the following reactions have a positive ΔSrxn? Check all that apply.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The reactions that have a positive ΔS rxn are the first and the fourth choices:

2A(g) + B(s) → 3C(g)

2A(g) + 2B(g) → 5C(g)

Explanation:

ΔS rxn is the change of entropy of the chemical reaction.

ΔS rxn = S after reaction - S before reaction.

Therefore, a positive ΔS rxn means that the entropy after the reaction is greater than the entropy before the reaction.

You may use some assumptions to predict whether a reaction will lead an increase or decrease of the entropy.

First, assume that all the non-shown conditions, such as temperature and pressure, are constant.

Under that assumption, and from the meaning of entropy as a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system you can predict the sign of the change of entropy.

2A(g) + B(s) → 3C(g)

1) The solid compounds, B(s) in this case, are very ordered and so they have low entropy.

2) Gas molecules are highly disordered (scattered), and the greater the number of molecules of the gas the larger the entropy, S).

Hence, since the product side shows 3 gas molecules and the reactant side shows 2 gas molecules and 1 solid molecule, you predict that the products have a larger entropy than the reactants, meaning an increase in entropy: ΔS rxn is positive.

2A(g) + B(g) → C(g)

Using the same reasoning, 3 gas molecules in the reactant side have more entropy than 1 molecule in the product side, and so the reaction leads to a decrease in the entropy: ΔS rxn is negative

A(g) + B(g) → C(g)

Again, 2 gas molecules in the reactant side have more entropy than 1 molecule in the product side, and so the reaction leads to a decrease in the entropy: ΔS rxn is negative

2A(g) + 2B(g) → 5C(g)

With the same reasoing, 5 molecules in the product side, lets you predict that will have more entropy than 4 molecules in the reactant side, and, the entropy will increase: ΔS rxn is positive.

Answer: The mass of lead chloride produced is 1.96 g

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{ \text{Volume of solution (mL)}}$ .....(1)
