For example, the atomic mass of an oxygen atom is 16.00 amu; that means the molar mass of an oxygen atom is 16.00 g/mol. Further, if you have 16.00 grams of oxygen atoms, you know from the definition of a mole that your sample contains 6.022 x 10^23 oxygen atoms.
Answer:
4380 mmHg
Explanation:
Boyle's Law can be used to explain the relationship between pressure and volume of an ideal gas. The pressure is inversely related to volume, so if volume decrease the pressure will increase. It can be expressed in the equation as:
P1V1=P2V2
In this question, the first condition is 2L volume and 876 mmHg pressure. Then the system changed into the second condition where the volume is 400ml and the pressure is unknown. The pressure will be:
P1V1= P2V2
876 mmHg * 2L = P2 * 400ml /(1000ml/L)
P2= 876 mmHg * 2L / 0.4L
P2= 4380 mmHg
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. )
