12.4 g of phosphorus reacts with 9.6 g of oxygen.

Chemistry

Answer:

D 4P +3O₂ → 2 P₂O₃

Explanation:

In this problem, we need to convert the mass of phosphorus and oxygen to moles trying to find the ratio of reaction (The moles of P that reacts per mole of O₂):

<em>Moles P:</em>

12.4g P * (1mol P / 31g) = 0.4 moles

<em>Moles O₂:</em>

9.6g * (1mol / 32g) = 0.3 moles

The ratio of reaction is:

0.4 mol / 0.3 mol = 1.33 = 4 moles of P / 3 moles of O₂

That means 4 moles of P react with 3 moles of O₂ and the reaction that represents this ratio is:

<h3>D 4P +3O₂ → 2 P₂O₃</h3>

What are electrolytes
Alex777 [14]
An electrolyte is a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water. The dissolved electrolyte separates into cations and anions, which disperse uniformly through the solvent. Electrically, such a solution is neutral. 

Hope this helps!!

What holds the two strands of a DNA molecule together?A. Ionic bonds between negatively and positively charged ionsB. Covalent b
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

D. Hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs89

Explanation:

A DNA molecule is composed of two long polynucleotide chains made of four types of nucleotide subunits, two purines (adenine and guanine) and two pyrimidines (cytosine and thymine). These nucleotides are joined by covalent bonds forming a phosphate-sugar backbone. <em>These strands are held to one another with hydrogen bonds between the base portions of complementary nucleotides.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

How many photons are produced in a laser pulse of 0.862 J at 691 nm?
Inga [223]
To calculate how many photons are in a certain amount of energy (joules) we need to know how much energy is in one photon.
Start by using two equations:
Energy of a photon = Frequency * Planck's constant (6.626 * 10^(-34) J-s)
Speed of light (constant 3 * 10^8 m/s) = Frequency * Wavelength
Which means:
frequency = Speed of Light / Wavelength
So energy of a photon = (Speed of light * Planck's constant)/(Wavelength)
You may have seen this equation as E = hc/<span>λ</span>
We have a wavelength of 691 nm or 691 * 10^-9 meters
So we can plug in all of our knowns:
E = (6.626 * 10^(-34) J-s) * (3.00 * 10^8 m/s) / (691 * 10^-9 m) = 
2.88 * 10^(-19) joules per photon
Now we have joules per photon, and the total number of joules (0.862 joules)
,so divide joules by joules per photon, and we have the number of photons:
0.862 J/ (2.88 * 10^(-19) J/photon) = 3.00 * 10^18 photons.

Define significant figure. Discuss the importance of using the proper number of significant figures in measurements and calculat
anastassius [24]

Explanation:

Significant figure is the measure of how accurately something can be measured. It carries meaning contributing to its measurement resolution. It is important to use proper number of significant figures to get a precise measurement. For example, if we use a meter stick then measurements like 0.874 meters, or 0.900 meters, are good because they indicate that we can measure to the nearest millimeter. Whereas a measurement like 0.8 does not tell that a meter stick can measure to the nearest millimeter.
