Answer:

Compound X has a molar mass of 316.25 g*mol^-1 and the following composition:

element & mass %

phosphorus & 39.18%

sulfur & 60.82%

Write the molecular formula of X.

Explanation:

The given molecule of phosphorus and sulfur has molar mass --- 316.25 g.

Empirical formula calculation:                      

element:              phosphorus                       sulfur

co9mposition:      39.185%                            60.82%

divide with

atomic mass:          39.185/31.0 g/mol           60.82/32.0g/mol

                              =1.26mol                           1.90mol

smallest mole ratio:   1.26mol/1.26mol =1      1.90mol/1.26 mol =1.50

multiply with 2:          2                                         3

Hence, the empirical formula is:

P2S3.

Mass of empirical formula is:

158.0g/mol

Given, molecule has molar mass --- 316.25 g/mol

Hence, the ratio is:

316.25g/mol/158.0 =2

Hence, the molecular formula of the compound is :

2 x (P2S3)

=P_4S_6

g All of the molecules below have polar bonds but only one of the molecules is a polar molecule. Which one is a polar molecule?
lbvjy [14]

Answer: NF_3

Explanation:

Geometrical symmetry of the molecule and the polarity of the bonds determine the polarity of the molecule.

The molecule that has zero dipole moment that means it is a geometrically symmetric molecule and the molecule which has some net dipole moment means it is a geometrically asymmetric molecule.

As the molecule is symmetric, the dipole moment will be zero as dipole moments cancel each other and the molecule will be non-polar.

As the molecule is asymmetric, the dipole moment will not be zero and the molecule will be polar.

Example: NF_3

Thus, we can say that NF_3 is a polar molecule.

Identify the combustion reaction. identify the combustion reaction. c(s) + o2(g) → co2(g) 2 h2(g) + o2(g) → 2 h2o(g) c3h8(g) + 5
tester [92]
Combustion reaction occurs when organic compound reacts with oxygen to form CO₂, H₂O and energy
C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) is Synthesis reaction not combustion
2 H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 H₂O(g) also Synthesis reaction and not combustion
C₃H₈(g) + 5 O₂ → 3 CO₂(g) + 4 H₂O(g) is considered as Combustion reaction
2 C₃H₇OH(l) + 9 O₂(g) → 6 CO₂(g) + 8 H₂O(g) Combustion reaction

How many electrons fit in the part of the third energy level shown
makkiz [27]

Answer:

18 electrons

Explanation:

Note: The third energy level can actually hold up to 18 electrons, so it is not really filled when it has 8 electrons in it.
