Answer:

Ca_5P_5O_{18}

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the determination of empirical formulas requires the moles of the constituents, we first need to calculate the moles in the given grams of the listed elements:

n_{Ca}=9.0231g*\frac{1mol}{40.08g}= 0.225mol\\\\n_{P}=6.9722g*\frac{1mol}{31.97g}=0.218mol\\\\n_{O}=12.6072g*\frac{1mol}{16.00g}  =0.788mol

Next, we divide each moles by the fewest moles, in this case, those of phosphorous, in order to determine their subscripts in the empirical formula:

Ca:\frac{0.225}{0.218}= 1\\\\P:\frac{0.218}{0.218}=1\\\\O:\frac{0.788}{0.218}=3.6

Thus, we multiply these subscripts by 5 to get whole numbers:

Ca_5P_5O_{18}

Best regards!

For the following reaction, KcKc = 255 at 1000 KK.
bonufazy [111]

Answer :

The equilibrium concentration of CO is, 0.016 M

The equilibrium concentration of Cl₂ is, 0.034 M

The equilibrium concentration of COCl₂ is, 0.139 M

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

                           CO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons COCl_2(g)

Initial conc.      0.1550      0.173           0

At eqm.          (0.1550-x)  (0.173-x)         x

As we are given:

K_c=255

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

K_c=\frac{[COCl_2]}{[CO][Cl_2]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

255=\frac{(x)}{(0.1550-x)\times (0.173-x)}

x = 0.139 and x = 0.193

We are neglecting value of x = 0.193 because equilibrium concentration can not be more than initial concentration.

Thus, we are taking value of x = 0.139

The equilibrium concentration of CO = (0.1550-x) = (0.1550-0.139) = 0.016 M

The equilibrium concentration of Cl₂ = (0.173-x) = (0.173-0.139) = 0.034 M

The equilibrium concentration of COCl₂ = x = 0.139 M
