Answer:

0.0000101 grams.

Explanation:

First of all, use Avogadro's number to convert from molecules to moles.

Avogadro's number is 6.02 x 10^23.

Second of all, to convert from moles to grams, find the substance formula of phosphorus trichloride. After finding the substance formula, then find the molar mass of phosphorus trichloride.

Phosphorus trichloride is PCl3

Now find the molar mass of PCl3

P = 31.0 amu

Cl = 35.5 amu

They are three chlorine atoms and one phosphorus atom. So you do this.

31.0(1) + 35.5(3) = 137.5 g/mol

Now use dimensional analysis to show your work

4.6 x 10^16 grams of PCl3 * 1 mol/ 6.02 x 10^23 * 137.5 g/mol / 1 mol

The grams and the moles cancel out.

So now do [(4.6 x 10^16) / (6.02 x 10^23)] x 137.5

and you will get 0.000010507

4.6 has the fewest digits which is 2.

So use sig figs and the answer rounds to the nearest millionths.

0.000010507 rounds to 0.0000101

So the final answer is 0.0000101 grams(don't forget the units)

Hope it helped!

How to keep pipes from freezing during power outage?.
Maurinko [17]

Answer: <em>Running water, even at a trickle, helps prevent pipes from freezing. If you decide to use fuel-burning equipment, such as a kerosene heater, ensure it is vented to outside and kept clear of any vents. Keep garage doors closed if there are water supply lines in the garage.</em>
