Determine the empirical formula for a compound that is found to contain

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sphinxa [80]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The empirical formula is PCl3

Explanation:

Mass of P is 30.97 g, thus 1.523 g of P equivalent to 0.05 moles of P

Mass of Cl is 35.45 g, thus 5.228 g of Cl equivalent to 0.15 moles of Cl

Therefore moles of P : moles of Cl = 0.05:0.15 = 1:3

Therefore the empirical formula, PCl3

What is the frequency of a wave with a wavelength of 6.40x10^4 meters?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

frequency = 0.47×10⁴ Hz

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of wave = 6.4× 10⁴ m

Frequency of wave = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of wave = wavelength × frequency

Speed of wave = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

Now we will put the values in formula.

3 × 10⁸ m/s = 6.4× 10⁴ m × frequency

frequency = 3 × 10⁸ m/s / 6.4× 10⁴ m

frequency = 0.47×10⁴ /s

s⁻¹ = Hz

frequency = 0.47×10⁴ Hz

Thus the wave with wavelength of 6.4× 10⁴ m have 0.47×10⁴ Hz frequency.

One beaker contains 100 mL of pure water and second beaker contains 100 mL of seawater. The two beakers are left side by side on
gayaneshka [121]

Explanation:

When we add a non-volatile solute in a solvent then due to the impurity added to the solution there will occur an increase in the boiling point of the solution.  

This increase in boiling point will be known as elevation in boiling point.

As one beaker contains seawater (water having NaCl) will have some impurity in it. So, more temperature is required by seawater to escape into the atmosphere.

Whereas another beaker has only pure water so it is able to easily escape into the atmosphere since, it contains no impurity.

Thus, we can conclude that level of pure water will decrease more due to non-volatile solute present in it as compared to seawater.

Which of the following elements will form negative ions? Check<br> all that apply.
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Elements on the right side of the periodic table are very likely to form negative ions -- all of those except elements in the 8th or 18th column (depending on how your periodic table is numbered).

K and Mg are on the left side, so they will not form negative ions.

They give up 1 (for K) electron and 2 (for Mg) electrons which will leave plus charges for the ions.

On the other hand S and I are on the right side of the periodic table. They will take on electrons and hence be charged with a minus.

What is the percent composition in chloric acid (HClO3)?
Nuetrik [128]
Total weight = 1 + 35.45 + 3 * 16 = 84.45

H = 1 / 84.45 * 100% = 1.18%
Cl = 35.45 / 84.45 * 100% = 41.98%
O = 48 / 84.45 * 100% = 56.84%
