Answer: N3 H12 P O3

Explanation:

From the question :

N = 31.57% H = 9.10% P = 23.27%

O= 36.06%

Divide each of the element by their respective relative atomic masses.

N = 31.57 / 14 = 2.26

H = 9.10/ 1 = 9.10

P = 23.27 / 31= 0.750

O =36.06 / 16 = 2.25

Divide each answer by the lowest of them all, we then have:

N = 2.26/ 0.750 = Approx = 3

H = 9.10 / 0.750 = Approx = 12

P = 0.750/ 0.750= 1

O = 2.25 / 0.750 = Approx = 3

The empiral formula is

N3 H12 P O3

Answer:

The empirical formula for the compound is  (NH₄)₃PO₃

Explanation:

Here we have

Nitrogen Molar mass = 14.01 g/mol, Percentage = 31.57%

Hydrogen Molar mass = 1.00784 g/mol, Percentage = 9.10%

Phosphorus Molar mass = 30.973762 g/mol, Percentage = 23.27%

Oxygen Molar mass = 15.999 g/mol, Percentage =  36.06%

Therefore the number of moles of each element per 100 g of the ionic compound is as follows;

Number of moles, n = Mass/(Molar Mass)

Mass of nitrogen, N in 100 g of ionic compound = 31.57 g n = 2.253 moles

Mass of Hydrogen, H in 100 g of ionic compound = 9.10 g, n = 9.029 moles

Mass of Phosphorus, P in 100 g of ionic compound = 23.27 g, n = 0.7513 moles

Mass of Oxygen, P in 100 g of ionic compound = 36.06 g, n = 2.2539 moles

Dividing by the smallest mole ratio, of 0.7513 (that of phosphorus) we have;

N = 3 moles

H = 12.0184 ≈ 12 moles  

P = 1 moles

O = 3 moles

Therefore, we have the empirical formula as follows;

N₃H₁₂PO₃ or (NH₄)₃PO₃.

How do genetic factors influence the formation of "dead zones” around creosote bushes?
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Genetic factors contributes to the formation of the dead zones is by their ability to expand their abilities that enables them to spread and contribute to the formation of the dead zones. These dead zones are made when the oxygen are low where it is necessarily important for the aquatic life, if the oxygen needed is depleted or too low, instead of supporting aquatic life, dead zones are created and factors contribute to these occurrences with their ability to expand.

How many grams of lithium hypochlorite (LiClO) are there in 0.594 moles?
Flauer [41]

Answer : The mass of lithium hypochlorite are, 34.7 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of LiClO = 0.594 g

Molar mass of LiClO = 58.4 g/mol

Expression used :

\text{ Mass of }LiClO=\text{ Moles of }LiClO\times \text{ Molar mass of }LiClO

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

\text{ Mass of }LiClO=(0.594moles)\times (58.4g/mole)

\text{ Mass of }LiClO=34.7g

Therefore, the mass of lithium hypochlorite are, 34.7 grams.

Look at the equation for the reaction for nitric oxide and oxygen. Do you think this is a single-step reaction or a multistep re
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

This is most likely a multi-stepped reaction.

Explanation:

From the collision theory, we know that it is super improbable for 3 different molecules (2 NO and 1 O2) to all hit each other at the perfect speed in the perfect position to make the products. From this, we can pretty confidently say that this is most likely a multi-stepped reaction.

Hope this helps! :)

Analyze how friction can be both a positive and negative aspect in our everyday lives. Use examples to support your statements.
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

For example, friction between our shoes and the floor stop us from slipping and friction between tyres and the road stop cars from skidding. Friction is sometimes unhelpful. For example, if you don't lubricate your bike regularly with oil, the friction in the chain and axles increases.
