Which elements are considered metals? Non-metals? Metalloids?

when 10.00 g of phosphorus reacts with oxygen, it produces 17.77 g of a phosphorus oxide. This phosphorus oxide was found to hav

Answer:

Molecular formula = P₄O₆

Explanation:

P(s) + O₂(g)------------------------------------⇒ PₓOₙ (g)

10g (17.77-10)g 17.77g

10g 7.77g 17.77g (gramme ratio)

The molecular mass of Phosphorus (P) = 31g/mole

The molecular mass of Oxygen atom (O) = 16g/mole

Mole ratio is given by:

P : O

10/31 7.77/16

0.3226 : 0.4856 Mole ratio---------------------------- (1)

Divide (1) through by 0.3226

1 : 1.5-------------------------------------------- (2)

From (2), the empirical formula for Phosphorus oxide :

Empirical formula = P₁O₁.₅

= PO₁.₅

The molecular formula can be calculated from below:

Since the molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical formula we have

Molecular formula = (PO₁.₅)ₙ----------------------------------- (3)

Since we are given the molecular mass of the oxide formed, we have:

(PO₁.₅)ₙ = 220-----------------------------(4)

[31 + (16 x 1.5)] x n = 220

[31 + 24]n = 220

55n =220

n = 4

Substituting into (3), we have :

Molecular formula = (PO₁.₅)₄

= P₄O₆

Calcular la cantidad de NaOH necesaria para preparar medio litro de disolución 2,5 N. (Dato: peso molecular del NaOH = 40 g/mol)

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The amount of NaOH required to prepare a solution of 2.5N NaOH.

The molecular mass of NaOH is 40.0g/mol.

Explanation:

Since,

NaOH has only one replaceable -OH group.

So, its acidity is one.

Hence,

The molecular mass of NaOH =its equivalent mass

Normality formula can be written as: $Normality=\frac{mass of solute NaOH}{its equivalent mass} * \frac{1}{volume of solution in L} \\$

Substitute the given values in this formula to get the mass of NaOH required.

$2.5N=\frac{mass of NaOH}{40g/mol} *\frac{1}{1L} \\mass of NaOH=2.5N*40gmol\\ = 100.0g$

Hence, the mass of NaOH required to prepare 2.5N and 1L. solution is 100g
