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.

A line is perpendicular to<br> y = -3x – 9<br> What is the slope of this<br> perpendicular line?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

a. 1/3

In the picture- D. 4

Explanation:

The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines =-1

m1m2=-1

Given an equation of a line in the form y=mx+c, m is the gradient of the line.

For y= -3x-9, m=-3

m1m2=-1

-3×m2=-1

m2=1/3

The gradient of the perpendicular line is 1/3

For the question in the picture, y=-1/4x-9, m=-1/4

m1×m2=-1

-1/4m2=-1

m2=4

The slope of the line perpendicular to y=-1/4x-9 is 4

S8 + 12 O2 → 8 SO3<br>How many moles of SO3 can be produced from 6 moles of O2?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

4 moles of SO3 will be produced from 6 moles of oxygen.

Explanation:

From the reaction given

S8 + 12 O2 ----> 8 SO3

12 moles of oxygen reacts to form 8 moles of SO3

if 6 moles of oxygen were to be used instead, it has been reduced to half of the original mole of oxygen used. Then the moles of SO3 will also be reduced to half.

6 moles of O2 will yield 4 moles of SO3

12 moles = 8 moles

6 moles = ?

? = 6 * 8 / 12

? = 48/ 12

? = 4 moles of SO3.
