The chemical formula of a compound that is made up of one phosphorus atom, three chlorine atoms, and one oxygen atom is PCl₃O.

<h2>Further Explanation: </h2><h3>A compound  </h3>
  • A compound is a substances that contains two or more different atoms that are bonded together.
  • When the atoms are similar the substance is known as a molecule, therefore not all molecules are compounds.
<h3>Chemical formula</h3>
  • Chemical formula is a formula that shows the number of atoms of each element present in a compound.
  • For example, the chemical formula of a compound that is made up of one phosphorus atom, three chlorine atoms, and one oxygen atom is PCl₃O.
  • PCl₃O is a molecular covalent compound.
<h3>PCl₃O</h3>
  • PCl₃O is a molecular compound that is formed as a result of covalent bonding between oxygen atoms chlorine atoms and phosphorus atom.
<h3>Covalent bond </h3>
  • A covalent chemical bond is one in which outer-shell electrons of two atoms are shared so as to satisfactorily fill their respective orbitals.
  • This is a type of bond that is formed between non-metal atoms. It is formed as a result of sharing electrons between non-metal atoms.
  • Outermost electrons are shared between the atoms involved in bonding so as each atom attains a stable configuration.

<h3>Keywords: Compound, chemical formula, PCl₃O, covalent bond.</h3>

Answer: PCl₃O

Explanation:

1) The chemical formula tells the composition of a compound in terms of the ratio of number of atoms of each element that consitutes such compound.

2) You use the chemical symbol for each kind of atom (element) and subscripts to the right of each symbol to tell the number of atoms of each element.

3) For example, O₂ means two atoms of oxygen. Al₂O₃ means two atoms of aluminum and 3 atoms of oxygen.

4) Therefore, PCl₃O means a ratio 1 : 3 : 1 for phosphorus, chlorine, and oxygen.

Hence, PCl₃O is the chemical formula of your compound.

One of the many remarkable enzymes in the human body is carbonic anhydrase, which catalyzes the interconversion of carbon dioxid
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Enzyme is carbonic anhydrase

Substrate is CO_2

Turnover number is 10^{7}

Explanation:

An enzyme is used by a living organism as a catalyst to perform a specific biochemical reaction.

A substrate is a molecule upon which an enzyme acts.

Turnover number refers to the number of substrate molecules transformed by a single enzyme molecule per minute. Here, the enzyme is the rate-limiting factor.

Here,

Enzyme is carbonic anhydrase

Substrate is CO_2

Turnover number is 10^{7}

Chapter 2.4.1. The ______ energy lost by the inward movement of nickel-iron within a differentiating molten planetary body would
Gwar [14]

Answer:b. gravitational, kinetic, thermal

Explanation:

The above explains the mechanism of the core forming process on earth/planet.

It is believed that this process might has contributed significantly to a planet's early stages heating. The time when these core-forming event happened is thought to have been mainly completed very early when Earth was young . The type of this event rather than it being seen as a single catastrophic event, it is likely to have been as a result of contractions on the earth severally.

The addition of partially differentiated material from another giant impact the rate of this spasm , and it increases each time the planet's mass is to increased.

This is a little on the history of planetary evolution.

How much heat will be released when 10.0 g of hydrogen peroxide decomposes according to the following reaction: 2H2O2(l) 2H2O(l)
kramer
C. 28 KJ

AMU of H2O2 = 2(1) + 2(16) = 34 g/mol
10 g / 34 g/mol = 0.294 mol H2O2

0.294 mol / H = 2 mol / 190 KJ
H = 28.9 KJ

What is the volume in liters of 321 g of liquid with a density of 0.84 g/mL
Rasek [7]
Density is weight by volume.   

First.  If you divide the weight by density you can find the volume

Second you must convert the ML in to Liters.

\frac{321 \frac{g}{1}}{0.84 \frac{g}{mL}} = \frac{321(g)(mL)}{0.84g}=\frac{321mL}{0.84}=382.14mL

1L=1000ml

\frac{1L}{1000mL}

(382.14mL)( \frac{1L}{1000mL})= \frac{(382.14mL)(L)}{1000mL} =\frac{382.14L}{1000}=0.38214L

0.38214 Liters.
