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.

In the reaction 3H2 + N2 → ____ NH3, what coefficient should be placed in front of NH3 to balance the reaction?

zubka84 [21]

2. 3H2 + N2 means you have 6 Hs and 2 Ns. NH3 has one N and 3 Hs, so you need 2 NH3s in order to have the 2 and 6 of each that you need on both sides of the reaction.

7 f Find the volume in dm3 and in mole of 0.505m of NaoH required to react with 40ml of 0.505m

Anna [14]

The volume of NaOH required is 0.08 dm³

To solve this question, we'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction between H₂SO₄ and NaOH. This is illustrated below:

H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH —> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

From the balanced equation above,

Mole ratio of the acid, H₂SO₄ $(n_{A}) = 1$

Mole ratio of the base, NaOH $(n_{B}) = 2$

Next, we shall determine the volume of NaOH required to react with H₂SO₄. This can be obtained as follow:

Molarity of the base, NaOH $(M_{B}) = 0.505 M$

Volume of the acid, H₂SO₄ $(V_{A}) = 40 mL$

Molarity of the acid, H₂SO₄ $(M_{A}) = 0.505 M$

<h3>Volume of the base, NaOH $(V_{B})$ =? </h3>

$\frac{M_{A} * V_{A}}{M_{B} * V_{B}} = \frac{n_{A}}{n_{B}}\\\\\frac{0.505 * 40}{0.505 *V_{B}} = \frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{20.2}{0.505 *V_{B}} = \frac{1}{2}$
