white phosphorus is used in flares and explosives, so may be important in warfare, etc. Red phosphorus is used in matches (side of matches) and in fertilizers which are essential to growing plants. I don't know if that is economically important, but there are many ways that phosphorus benifit the economy. One downside on the economy is that phosphorus is one of the main ingredients in meth, which of course causes trouble for the economy ( law enforcement, medical, etc. )

Calculate the mass (grams) of 0.750 moles of Al2(Cr2O7)3
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

526g is the mass of this sample

Explanation:

To solve this question we must, as first, find the <em>molar mass </em>of Al₂(Cr₂O₇)₃ using the periodic table. The molar mass is defined as the mass of this compound per mole. With this value we can find the mass in 0.750 moles as follows:

<em>Molar mass Al₂(Cr₂O₇)₃</em>

2Al = 2*26.98g/mol = 53.96g/mol

6 Cr = 6*51.9961g/mol = 311.9766g/mol

21 O = 21*15.999g/mol = 335.979g/mol

53.96g/mol + 311.9766g/mol + 335.979g/mol

= 701.9156g/mol

The mass of 0.750 moles is:

0.750 moles * (701.9156g / mol) =

<h3>526g is the mass of this sample</h3>

which of the following pairs of elements could react to form an ionic compound? A. potassium and calcium B. sulfur and oxygen C.
Grace [21]
The correct option is FLUORINE AND COPPER.
An ionic compound is usually formed by the combination of a metal and a non metal, the metal usually act as an electron donor while the non metal act as an electron acceptor. Thus, in ionic compounds, there is total transfer of electrons from the metal to the non metal. In the question given here, copper is the metal while the fluorine is the non metal.<span />
