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>.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

1.39

Explanation:

[Hg2Cl2]= 1M

[H^+] = ????

E°cell= 0.35V

E= 0.268 V

Therefore E for the reaction must -0.082 V

n= 2 moles of electrons

From Nernst Equation:

E= E°cell- 0.0592/n log [Red]/[Ox]

0.0268= 0.35- 0.0592/2 log 1/[Ox]^2

-0.082= -0.0296 log 1/[Ox]^2

log 1/[Ox]^2= 0.082/0.0296

log 1/[Ox]^2= 2.77

1/[Ox]^2=Antilog (2.77)

[Ox]^2=1.698×10^-3

[Ox] = 0.0412 M

But pH= -log [H^+]= -log(0.0412)= 1.385

Look at the dots around each symbol and the energy levels from the resources above;
Anton [14]

Hello! Here's the answer I was able to come up with:

<em>Why does Na have only one dot?</em>

Sodium, or Na, has only one valence electron.  (This makes the atom tend to participate in ionic bonding and "give" its single valence electron to an atom like chlorine.)

<em>Why do none of these diagrams show more than 8 dots?</em>

It is physically impossible for an atom to have more than 8 electrons in its valence layer, according to the Octet Rule.

<em>What relationship do you notice between the dots in these two charts?</em>

The dot diagram for each element represents the number of electrons each element will have in its outermost, or valence, shell. (2-8-8)

<em>The number of dots that hydrogen and helium have in their dot diagram is the same as the number of electrons shown for them on the Periodic Table. Why?</em>

An atom can have a maximum of two electrons in its innermost layer. Hydrogen and helium have only one and two electrons, respectively, so they don't have enough electrons to actually have more than one layer. Therefore, their outermost layer is, in fact, their only layer. This is why the number of dots that hydrogen and helium have in their dot diagram is the same as the number of electrons shown for them on the Periodic Table.

Don't copy this word for word! You will most likely be in trouble for plagiarism.  Instead, rewrite these ideas in your own words, or paraphrase. Good luck, and I know you can do it! ♥

What happens to dissolving rate when you increase KE?
TEA [102]
In general, solubility increases with temperature. When you increase the temperature of a solvent, you increase the kinetic energy (or energy of movement) of the molecules, and this greater energy helps dissolve more of the solute molecules.

Can someone help me please
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Group 4A (or IVA) of the periodic table includes the nonmetal carbon (C), the metalloids silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge), the metals tin (Sn) and lead (Pb), and the yet-unnamed artificially-produced element ununquadium (Uuq).

The Group 4A elements have four valence electrons in their highest-energy orbitals (ns2np2). Carbon and silicon can form ionic compounds by gaining four electrons, forming the carbide anion (C4-) and silicide anion (Si4-), but they more frequently form compounds through covalent bonding. Tin and lead can lose either their outermost p electrons to form 2+ charges (Sn2+, the stannous ion, and Pb2+, the plumbous ion) or their outermost s and p electrons to form 4+ charges (Sn4+, the stannic ion, and Pb4+, the plumbic ion).

Carbon (C, Z=6).

Carbon is most familiar as a black solid is graphite, coal, and charcoal, or as the hard, crystalline diamond form. The name is derived from the Latin word for charcoal, carbo. It is found in the Earth's crust at a concentration of 480 ppm, making it the 15th most abundant element. It is found in form of calcium carbonate, CaCO3, in minerals such as limestone, marble, and dolomite (a mixture of calcium and
