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

The substances below are listed by increasing specific heat capacity value. Starting at 30.0 °C, they each absorb 100 kJ of ther
JulijaS [17]

The heat change is related to specific heat as

Heat change = mass of substance X specific heat X change in temperature

So if we are considering same amount of substance

and we are starting with the same temperature

the change in temperature will be inversely proportional to the specific heat

higher the specific heat lower the temperature change

Thus the change in temperature will be least for the substance with highest specific heat.

The rate of effusion of oxygen to an unknown gas is 0.935. what is the other gas?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

N2

Explanation:

Rate of effusion is defined by Graham's Law:  

(Rate 1/Rate 2) = (sqrt (M2)/ sqrt (M1))

(Where M is the molar mass of each substance. )

Molar Mass of oxygen, O2, is 32 (M1).

Rate of effusion of O2 to an unknown gas is .935(Rate 1).  

Rate 2 is unknown so put 1.

Solve for x (M2).

.935/1 = sqrt x/ sqrt32

.935 x sqrt 32 = sqrt x

5.29 = sq rt x

5.29^2 = 27.975 = 28  

N2 has a molar mass of 28 so it is the correct gas.
