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.

laiz [17]

Answer:

80cm3 of water, and 60cm3 carbon IV oxide is formed while 20cm3 of oxygen is left unreacted.

Explanation:

From Gay-Lussac's law, there are five volumes of oxygen, 1 volume if propane, 4 volumes of water and three volumes of CO2. Applying this shows the reacting volumes as we have in the image attached, hence the volumes left after reaction.

Which of the following have the most similar properties?

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Option-B (Carbon and Silicon)

Explanation:

Among the given pairs only carbon and silicon have the most similar properties. This is because,

Sodium and Magnesium belong to different groups. Sodium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Magnesium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.

Example:

2 Na + Cl₂ → NaCl

Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂

As shown in reactions when Sodium and Magnesium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.

Carbon and Silicon show almost same properties because both belong to Group IV hence both are capable of forming four bonds. Also, they share the same property of self linkage in making a long chains.

Argon and Chlorine also belong to two different groups. Argon is present in Group VIII (Noble Gases) and Chlorine is present in Group VII (Halogens). Hence, Argon is an inert specie which is non reactive while Chlorine gives different reaction easily.

Potassium and Calcium belong to different groups. Potassium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Calcium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.

Example:

2 K + Cl₂ → KCl

Ca + Cl₂ → CaCl₂

As shown in reactions when Potassium and Calcium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.
