Moles of PF₃ : 4
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products.
Reaction
1.25 moles of P₄(s) is reacted with 6 moles of F₂(g)
Limiting reactant : the smallest ratio (mol divide by coefficient)
P₄ : F₂ =
mol PF₃ based on mol of limiting reactant(F₂), so mol PF₃ :
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound.
Assuming for 100 g of the compound
Cu As S
mass 48.41 g 19.02 g 32.57 g
number of moles 48.41 / 63.5 g/mol 19.02 / 75 g/mol 32.57 / 32 g/mol
= 0.762 mol = 0.2536 mol = 1.018 mol
divide by the least number of moles
0.762 / 0.2536 0.2536 / 0.2536 1.018 / 0.2536
= 3.00 = 1.00 = 4.01
once they are rounded off
Cu - 3
As - 1
S - 4
therefore empirical formula is Cu₃AsS₄
Decompostion reaction have the general chemical reaction of: AB = A + B while synthesis reactions are of the general equation A + B = AB. These reaction can be the reverse of each other because ones building a compound (synthesis) and ones breaking down a compound (decomposition). For example, when reacting carbon and oxygen for a synthesis reaction we have: C + O2 = CO2 and for a decomposition reaction we have: CO2 = C + O2. Thus, these two reactions are the reverse of each other.
Answer:
Explanation:
Elements on the right side of the periodic table are very likely to form negative ions -- all of those except elements in the 8th or 18th column (depending on how your periodic table is numbered).
K and Mg are on the left side, so they will not form negative ions.
They give up 1 (for K) electron and 2 (for Mg) electrons which will leave plus charges for the ions.
On the other hand S and I are on the right side of the periodic table. They will take on electrons and hence be charged with a minus.
