A percent composition analysis yields

Chemistry
1 answer:
siniylev [52]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

PCl₃

Explanation:

To determine the empirical formula of a compound, we need to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Divide each percent composition by the atomic mass of the element

P: 22.6/30.97 = 0.729

Cl: 77.4/35.45 = 2.18

Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one, i.e. 0.729

P: 0.729/0.729 = 1

Cl: 2.18/0.729 ≈ 3

The empirical formula of the compound is PCl₃.

A tank in the shape of a rectangular prism measures 10 dm by 4 dm by 6 dm. the tank is completely filled with 8908.8 l of liquid
nevsk [136]
1) The question contains an unknown unit


The number 8908.8 has to be in units of mass: for example, kg or grams.


Here you indicated L.


I am going to work assuming that L is a mass unit. So you can see the way to solve the problem, but you have to verifiy the real unit of the statement and substitute with it.



With that in mind you can find the density of the liquid from:


density  = mass / volume


2) Calculate the volume.


The volume of the liquid is the volume of the vessel, because it is filled.


The volume of the vessel is calculated from the formula of volume for a rectantular prism.


Volume of a rectangular prism = area of the base * height = side * side * height


=> Volume = 10 dm * 4 dm * 6 dm = 240 dm^3 = 240 liter


3) Calculate the density:


density = mass /volume = 8,908.8 L / 240 liter   =  37.12 L / dm^3



Answer: 37.12 L / dm^3
