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!

Why do the elements in a group all behave similarly
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

The elements of the periodic table that belong to the same group (each column) have similar physical and chemical properties. This is because they have the same number of electrons in their last electronic layer.

Example of electronic configuration of elements of GROUP IA:

Hydrogen: 1s ^ 1

Lithium: 1s ^ 2 2s ^ 1

The osmotic pressure of a saturated solution of strontium sulfate at 25 ∘C∘C is 21 torrtorr. Part A What is the solubility produ
USPshnik [31]

Answer

solubility product = 3.18x 10^-7

Explanation:

We were given the pressure in torr then we need to convert to atm for consistency, ten we have

21torr/760= 0.0276315789 atm

21 Torr = .0276315789 atm

P = i M S T

M = P / iRT

Where p is osmotic pressure

T= temperature= 25C+ 273= 298K

for XY vanthoff factor i = 2

S = 0.0821 L-atm / mol K

M = .0276315789 atm / (2)(0.0821 L atm / K mole)(298 K)

M = 0.000564698046 mol/liters

solubility= 0.000564698046 mol/liters

Ksp = [X+][Y-]

Ksp = X^2

Ksp = [Sr^+2] * [SO4^-2]

Ksp = X^2

Ksp = (0.000564698046)^2

Ksp = 3.18883883 × 10-7

Ksp = 3.18x 10^-7

solubility product = 3.18x 10^-7

Therefore, the solubility product of this salt at 25 ∘C∘C is 3.18x 10^-7

what happens when an object speeds up,slows down, or changes direction A) velocity B) time C) deceleration D) acceleration
HACTEHA [7]
Whenever the motion of an object changes . . . speeding up, or slowing down, 
or changing direction . . . that change is called "acceleration".  Acceleration is produced by force on the object.If there is no force on the object, then there is no acceleration.  That means that 
its motion doesn't change.  The object remains in constant, uniform motion . 
moving with steady speed, in a straight line.  

No force is necessary to keep an object moving, only to change its motion.
