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>.

A saturated solution of manganese(II) hydroxide was prepared, and an acid–base titration was performed to determine its KspKsp a
trapecia [35]

Answer:

10.945 x 10^-4

Explanation:

Balanced equation:

Mn(OH)2 +  2 HCl  -->  MnCl2  +  H2O

it takes 2 moles HCL for each mole Mn(OH)2

Next find the molarity of the Mn(OH)2 solution

= (1 mole Mn(OH)2 / 2 mole HCl)  X (0.0020 mole HCl / 1000ml) X (4.86 ml)    

= 4.86 x 10^-3 mole  

this is now dissolved in (70 + 4.86)  =  74.86 ml or 0.07486 L

thus [Mn(OH)2]  =  4.86 x 10^-3 mole / 0.07486 L  =  0.064921 M

Ksp =  [Mn2+][OH-]^2  =  4x^3  =  4(0.064921)^3  = 10.945 x 10^-4

Which of the following atoms would be expected to be diamagnetic in the ground state?
Rufina [12.5K]

The atoms that would be expected to be diamagnetic in the ground state is  magnesium

The magnetism of an atom refers to its electronic configuration. A diamagnetic atom is an atom whose electrons are all paired.

A paired electron is an electron that occurs in pairs in its orbital shell.

At their respective ground state, the electronic configuration of the given elements are as follows:

The electronic configuration of magnesium is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s².  As such its a diamagnetic atom.

The electronic configuration of Potassium is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹. Hence, Potassium has one unpaired electron in its outermost shell.

The electronic configuration of Chlorine is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁵. Hence, Chlorine has one unpaired electron in its outermost shell.

The electronic configuration of Cobalt is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁷4s². Hence, the unpaired electrons of Cobalt in its outermost shell are three.

Therefore, the atoms that are diamagnetic in the ground state is magnesium.
