Grams of Phosphorus = 4.14 grams
Grams of white compound = 27.8 grams
Grams of Chlorine would be = 27.8 - 4.14 = 23.66 grams
Calculating moles which would be grams / molar mass
Molar mass of P = 30.97 grams / moles; Molar mass of Cl = 35.45 grams / moles
Moles of Phosphorus = 4.14 grams / 30.97 grams / moles = 0.1337 moles
Moles of Chlorine = 23.66 grams / 35.45 grams / moles = 0.6674 moles
Calculating the ratios by dividing with the small entity
P = 0.1337 moles / 0.1337 moles = 1
Cl = 0.6674 moles / 0.1337 moles = 5
So the empirical formula would be PCl5
Answer:
Explanation:
Molal freezing point depression constant of butanol Kf = 8.37⁰C /m
ΔTf = Kf x m , m is no of moles of solute per kg of solvent .
mol weight of butanol = 70 g
235.1 g of butanol = 235.1 / 70 = 3.3585 moles
3.3585 moles of butanol dissolved in 4.14 kg of water .
ΔTf = 8.37 x 3.3585 / 4.14
= 6.79⁰C
Depression in freezing point = 6.79
freezing point of solution = - 6.79⁰C .
<h3>Answer:</h3>
Oxidation number refers to a number given to an atom which shows the number of number of electrons lost (or gained, if the number is negative), by an atom of that element in the compound.
Hence oxidation number of following atoms in given reaction are:
In NaOH:
Na = +1
O = -2
H = +1
In H2:
H = 0
