Explanation:
Libra's range from September 23rd to October 22nd
The empirical formula for the compound is - P₂O₅
the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound.
molecular formula is the actual ratio of components in a compound.
we have to first find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula
molecular mass - 283.89 g/mol
mass of empirical formula - 283.8 g
number of empirical units - 283.89 g/mol / 283.8 g
number of empirical units - 1.000
therefore empirical formula = molecular formula
molecular formula - P₂O₅
<u>Answer:</u> The number of carbon and oxygen atoms in the given amount of carbon dioxide is
and
respectively
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

Given mass of carbon dioxide gas = 3.45 g
Molar mass of carbon dioxide gas = 44 g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:

1 mole of carbon dioxide gas contains 1 mole of carbon and 2 moles of oxygen atoms.
According to mole concept:
1 mole of a compound contains
number of molecules
So, 0.0784 moles of carbon dioxide gas will contain
number of carbon atoms and
number of oxygen atoms
Hence, the number of carbon and oxygen atoms in the given amount of carbon dioxide is
and
respectively
