Bond [772]3 years ago
4 0
We are given with the percentage composition of oxygen in an oxide from phosphorus and oxygen equal to 43.6 percent. that is the phosphorus is equal to 56.4 percent. we divide each with the molar mass and divide each with the smaller quantity. P then is equal to 1 and O is equal to 1.5. In this case, the empirical formula is P2O3.

Elements in the same group/family of the periodic table are similar in what way?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

D. They have the same number of valence electrons

Explanation:

  • The periodic table arranges elements into rows known as periods and columns known as groups or families.
  • Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties.
  • Additionally, they have the same number of valence electrons. For example, elements in group I have one valence electrons while those in group II have two valence electrons.
  • Elements in the same period share similar features such as having the same number of energy levels. For example elements in period 4 have four energy levels.

A column is packed with 0.5 g of a strongly acidic ion exchange resin in H+ form. A 1.0 M NaCl solution is passed through the co
Lena [83]

Answer:

The correct answer is 17 meq/g

Explanation:

Ion exchange capacity (IEC) express the total of active sites of a resin in which ions are attached because the greater molecular weight.

The exchange Reaction can be represented as

R-HR-H^{+} +  Na^{+} + Cl^{-} -> R-Na^{+} + HCl_{aq}

The IEC value (in meq/g) is determinated by using the next equation:

IEC=[(mL of NaOH)*(M of NaOH)]/mass of resin

IEC [(17 mL)*(0.5 M)/0.5]= 17 meq/g

Calculate the mass of 4.50 moles of Ca3(PO3)4
Ivahew [28]
Stoichiometry: 
First, calculate the number of grams for one mole of Ca3 (PO3)4
(3 * (Mass of Ca)) + (4 * (Mass of P + (3 * Mass of Oxygen)))
= (3*40.08) + 4(30.97 + (3*16.00))
=(120.24) + 4(78.97)
=436.12 g / mol Ca3(PO3)4 
This means there are 436.12 g per 1 mole of Ca(PO3)4. Since there are 4.50 moles of Calcium Phosphate, mulitply the molar mass of Ca(PO3)4 by 4.50 and you should get 1962.54 g. Since there are 3 sigfigs, the final answer is 1960 g.

on a side note: I put in all my work in case 1. your periodic table if different, 2. my work is wrong, 3. you put in the question wrong because I feel that the actual compound would be Ca3(PO4)3 instead of Ca3(PO3)4 (if this is the case, the answer should be 1820 g).

What are the units of k in a first order reaction?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The units of the rate constant, k, depend on the overall reaction order. The units of k for a zero-order reaction are M/s, the units of k for a first-order reaction are 1/s, and the units of k for a second-order reaction are 1/(M·s).
