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.

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.

3) In the Hydrolysis of Disaccharides and Polysaccharides portion of the lab, starch should give one positive iodine test and on
AfilCa [17]

Answer: potassium iodide is the basic test for starch,and the positive test is blue-black coloration, any other test substance which is not starch will give a negative results.

Explanation:

Starch is an example of  polysaccharide  and since the standard test for it is potassium iodide solution, it gives a positive test.

Diasaccharides e.g maltose are reducing sugars.their standard test is BENEDICT test .

Therefore, in the hydrolysis;  starch should give a positve test, while Diasaccharides should give negative rest.

What is the mass of 4.5 x 10^22 molecules of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)? Show your work in the space below.
valentinak56 [21]

Given :

Number of molecules of hydrogen peroxide, N = 4.5 × 10²².

To Find :

The mass of given molecules of hydrogen peroxide.

Solution :

We know, 1 mole of every compound contains Nₐ = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules.

So, number of moles of hydrogen peroxide is :

n = \dfrac{N}{N_a}\\\\n = \dfrac{4.5\times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\\\\n = 0.0747 \ moles

Now, mass of hydrogen peroxide is given as :

m = n × M.M

m = 0.0747 × 34 grams

m = 2.54 grams

Hence, this is the required solution.

Consider the reaction of magnesium metal with hydrochloric acid to produce magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. if 4.40 mol of m
Georgia [21]
The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows ;
Mg + 2HCl —> MgCl2 + H2
The stoichiometry of Mg to HCl is 1:2
This means that 1 mol of Mg reacts with 2 mol of HCl
Equal amounts of both Mg and HCl have been added. One reagent is the limiting reactant and other reactant is in excess.
Limiting reactant is the reagent that is fully used up in the reaction and the amount of Product formed depends on the amount of limiting reactant present.
In this reaction if Mg is the limiting reactant, 4.40 moles of Mg should react with 4.40x2 -8.80 moles of HCl.
But only 4.40 moles of HCl present therefore HCl is the limiting reactant that reacts with 4.40/2 = 2.20 moles of Mg
Stoichiometry of HCl to MgCl2 is 2:1
Since HCl moles reacted -4.40 mol
Then MgCl2 moles formed are 4.40/2 = 2.20 mol of MgCl2

Photoelectrons are removed with kinetic energy 1.864×10^-21 J, when photons of light with energy 4.23×10^-19 J fall on the metal
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
The minimum energy required to remove an electron from a potassium metal can be obtained by subtracting the energy of the incident photons from the kinetic energy of the removed photoelectrons. Based from the given values, the following equation is obtained:

Minimum energy required = 4.23×10^-19 J - <span>1.864×10^-21 J
</span>
We then get 4.2114 x 10^-19 J as the minimum energy required to remove the electron. We then convert this into units of energy per mole. This is to be done by using Avogadro's number which result to the following equation:

Minimum energy required per mole = 4.2114 x 10^-19 J x 6.022 x 10^23 mol^-1

The final answer is then 253.608 kJ/mol
