Based on the following electronegativity values, which of the following best explains the polarity of the bond formed?

When testing to see how water affects plant growth, John make sure one set of his plants does not get water. This set of plants

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

control.

Explanation:

during an experiment you are required to maintain a separate group of subjects to collect data on so you will be able to make comparisons from your observations. assuming the watered plants grew, what does that mean? they grew at a quicker rate? slower rate? the same rate? compared to what? you need this control group in order to prove your observations either one way or the other such as "compared to unwatered plants, the watered plants grew at *blank* rate."

Determine the empirical formulas for compounds with the following percent compositions:

Elis [28]

Answer:

For a: The empirical formula of the compound is $P_2O_5$

For b: The empirical formula of the compound is $KH_2PO_4$

Explanation:

For a:

We are given:

Percentage of P = 43.6 %

Percentage of O = 56.4 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of P = 43.6 g

Mass of O = 56.4 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Phosphorus = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Phosphorus}}{\text{Molar mass of Phosphorus}}=\frac{43.6g}{31g/mole}=1.406moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{56.4g}{16g/mole}=3.525moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 1.406 moles.

For Phosphorus = $\frac{1.406}{1.406}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{3.525}{1.406}=2.5$

Converting the moles in whole number ratio by multiplying it by '2', we get:

For Phosphorus = $1\times 2=2$

For Oxygen = $2.5\times 2=5$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of P : O = 2 : 5

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $P_2O_5$

For b:

We are given:

Percentage of K = 28.7 %

Percentage of H = 1.5 %

Percentage of P = 22.8 %

Percentage of O = 56.4 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of K = 28.7 g

Mass of H = 1.5 g

Mass of P = 43.6 g

Mass of O = 56.4 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Potassium = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Potassium}}{\text{Molar mass of Potassium}}=\frac{28.7g}{39g/mole}=0.736moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of hydrogen}}=\frac{1.5g}{1g/mole}=1.5moles$

Moles of Phosphorus = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Phosphorus}}{\text{Molar mass of Phosphorus}}=\frac{22.8g}{31g/mole}=0.735moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{47g}{16g/mole}=2.9375moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.735 moles.

For Potassium = $\frac{0.736}{0.735}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1.5}{0.735}=2.04\approx 2$

For Phosphorus = $\frac{0.735}{0.735}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{2.9375}{0.735}=3.99\approx 4$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of K : H : P : O = 1 : 2 : 1 : 4

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $KH_2PO_4$

Consider the following equation in chemical equilibrium. C2H4(g) + H2(g) mc009-1.jpg C2H6(g) + 137 kJ What happens to the amount

Novosadov [1.4K]

The correct answer is a) the amount of ethane decrease.
because this reaction is an exothermic reaction and the heat is a product of this reaction, So when the number of temperature increases so (more heat will be added) so the reaction will go leftward (toward reactants ) so the amount of C2H4 & H2 will increase and the amount of ethane C2H6 will decrease.

What is the pH of soil ?

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Most soils have pH values between 3.5 and 10. In higher rainfall areas the natural pH of soils typically ranges from 5 to 7, while in drier areas the range is 6.5 to 9. Soils can be classified according to their pH value: 6.5 to 7.5—neutral
