How many grams of diphosphorus pentoxide result if 100.0 g of phosphorus are combined with sufficient oxygen?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer is: 230 g.
Chemical reaction: P₄ + 5O₂ → 2P₂O₅.
m(P₄) = 100 g.
M(P₄) = 4 · 31 g/mol = 124 g/mol.
n(P₄) = m(P₄) ÷ M(P₄) = 100g ÷ 124g/mol = 0,806 mol.
From reaction: n(P₄) : n(P₂O5) = 1 : 2.
n(P₂O₅) = 1,612 mol.
m(P₂O₅) = 1,612 mol · 142g/mol = 230g.
M - molar mass.
n - amount of substance.

lakkis [162]

<span>Conductance gives a more accurate method to determine the salt concentration of a solution.Conductivity would be used with conductors such as metals that include copper and silver.Conductivity is a measure of water's capability to pass electrical flow. This ability is directly related to the concentration of ions in the water. These conductive ions come from dissolved salts and inorganic materials such as alkalis, chlorides, sulfides and carbonate compounds</span>

MaRussiya [10]

Explanation:

Thus, those metals which remain unaffected by moisture, oxygen and carbon dioxide of the air can occur native or free. In other words, the unreactive metals occur in nature in free state because of their low reactivity towards chemical reagents. ... Metals usually occur in combination with nonmetallic elements.

Which element in group 2 (Alkaline Earth Metals) is the most reactive?

never [62]

Answer:

the reactivity of alkaline earth metals increases from top to the bottom of the group, that's because the atoms get bigger from the top to the bottom so the valence electrons are farther from the nucleus.
