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.

Answer:

A glass of mineral water is not pure water.

Explanation:

Pure chemical substances

Pouring water into a glass from a bottle

Food and drink may be advertised as ‘pure’. For example, you may see cartons of ‘pure orange juice’ or ‘pure mineral water’. This means that nothing else was added to the orange juice or mineral water during manufacture. However, these substances are not pure to a scientist. In science, a pure substance contains only one element or compound.

Mineral water is mostly water, but there are other substances mixed with it. These are the ingredients that you see listed on the bottle’s label.

Methane, CH4, burns in oxygen gas to form water and carbon dioxide. What is the correct balanced chemical equation for this reac
maks197457 [2]

The correct balanced chemical equation which occur when methane burn in oxygen gas is

CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O +CO2 (answer D)

when methane is burned in presence of oxygen gas it produces carbon(IV) oxide and water and energy,that is 1 mole of CH4 reacted with 2 moles of O2 to form 2 moles of water and 1 mole of CO2 and enegy. This energy make the methane to be used as fuel.

What is the frequency of the sinusoidal graph?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

For finding frequency, we need to first find the period of the graph.

The period of a sinusoidal graph is the time interval in which it repeats its pattern.

In the graph, we can see, after 1/period time, it repeats its pattern.

Hence the period of the graph is  \pi /2.

Now we need to find its frequency 1/\pi /2

The formula for frequency is 2/\pi

This is the answer

i hope you pass the assignment

try your best!

The half-life of plutonium-238 is 87.7 years.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

263.1 is exactly three half-life, so the remaining portion is (1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2) of the original sample. That's 1/8 which is 12.5%

Balance the equation: "Sodium oxide reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen." I can't find the correct coefficie
dedylja [7]

Answer:

So, sodium oxide + water = sodium hydroxide + hydrogen is written Na2O+H2O-->NaOH+H.

To balance the equation it should read NaO+H2O-->2NaOH

Explanation:

Na2O+H2O-->2NaOH+0H2.......the 0H2 is dropped because there is no value
