Answer:  

P₅O₁₂

<em>Explanation:  </em>

Assume that you have 100 g of the compound.  

Then you have 44.7 g P and 55.3 g O.  

1. Calculate the <em>moles</em> of each atom  

Moles of P  = 44.7 × 1/30.97 = 1.443 mol Al  

Moles of O = 55.3 × 1/16.00 = 3.456 mol O  

2. Calculate the <em>molar ratios</em>.  

P: 1.443/1.443 =   1  

O: 3.456/1.443 = 2.395

3. Multiply by a number to make the ratio close to an integer

P:  5 × 1         =  5

O: 5 × 2.395 = 11.97

3. Determine the <em>empirical formula </em>

Round off all numbers to the closest integer.  

P:   5

O: 12

The empirical formula is <em>P₅O₁₂</em>.

4. If an experimental value for a given observation was 415 nm while the theoretical value
Alex

Answer: % error of observation is 4.77%

Explanation:

Given:

Observation value = 415nm

theoretical value= 435.8nm

Percent error of observation = theoretical value- observation value/ theoretical value x 100 %

= 435.8-415/435.8= 0.04772 x 100 = 4.77%

therefore % error of observation is 4.77%

Compare and contrast all the periodic trends as you move down a group of metais. Organize
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The number of energy levels increases as you move down a group as the number of electrons increases. Each subsequent energy level is further from the nucleus than the last. Therefore, the atomic radius increases as the group and energy levels increase.

How to solve this: a small dog has consumed a dangerous amount of apap. the vet has ordered: rx acetylcysteine 150mg/kg/stat. yo
Fantom [35]
Given:
Stock dose/concentration of 20% Acetylcysteine (200 mg/mL)
150 mg/kg dose of Acetylcysteine
Weight of the dog is 13.2 lb

First we must convert 13.2 lb to kg:
13.2 lb/(2.2kg/lb) = 6 kg

Then we must calculate the dose:
(150 mg/kg)(6kg) = 900 mg

Lastly, we must calculate the dose in liquid form to be administered:
(900 mg)/(200 mg/mL) = 4.5 mL

Therefore, 4.5 mL of 20% Acetylcysteine should be given.
