- How many grams are in 4.6 x 1016 molecules of phosphorus trichloride (PCI)?

Chemistry

MariettaO [177]3 years ago
4 0

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!

As for your question, I know to forget to put the options, specifically that your question is incomplete.

Explanation:

Although it could help you by telling you that always a reaction that seeks to balance the pH, and achieve neutrality ... It is necessary to achieve a concentration of OH equal to that of H +, in this way the hydroxyl and the protons.

Kenya has a pile of salt on the counter. She uses a pinch of it for a meal. Which of the following physical properties of the sa
AlladinOne [14]
The following choices are all extensive properties, meaning they do not change with the amount of the substance. Although, 3 of the properties, namely, density, solubility and thermal conductivity are temperature-dependent. Since the problem did not mention of heating, let's assume Kenya just used it directly for her meal. Among the choices, I think shape would change. Once you place it in the meal, you can no longer pinpoint the salt because it's shape has been changed.

lana [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Coal is primarily used for electricity generation. The burning of coal leads to emission of gases such as oxides of carbon, oxides of sulphur, oxides of nitrogen and water vapour. All these go straight into the atmosphere.

Petroleum is primarily used as transportation fuels. The burning of petroleum oils mostly leads to the emission of oxides of carbon and sulphur together with water vapour into the atmosphere.
