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.

Answer:

The diameter of the bubble would be about 400mm

Explanation:

This problem is solved using Boyle's law because you assume a fixed amount (number of moles) of air and that the temperature remains constant:

$PV=constant\\\\P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

Where:

P₁ = 1.6 atm
V₁ = 5,000 liters
P₂ = 155 atm
V₂ = unknown

Substitute and solve for V₂:

$V_2=\dfrac{1.6atm\times 5,000liters}{155atm}\\\\\\V_2=52liters$

Since the number 5,000 has one significant figure, you must round your answer to one significant figure. That is 50 liters.

Now, you must calcualte the diameter of the bubble, assuming the shape is a sphere:

Remember that 50 liters = 50dm³.

$Volume=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi\ (radius)^3$

$50dm^3=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (radius)^3\\\\radius = 2dm$

The diameter is twice the diameter = 4 dm = 40cm = 400mm

What are the 5 steps that a star will go through to try to maintain equilibrium?

BigorU [14]

Answer:

1.Nuclear fusion.

2.Out of fuel.

3.Fusion stops temperature drops.

4.Core contracts (gravity pulling atoms in).

5.Increased temperature (more atoms, more collisions) and density in the core reinitiates nuclear fusion, equilibrium is achieved, and the cycle begins again at step 1.
