<u>Answer:</u> The molecular formula of the compound is P_2O_6

<u>Explanation:</u>

The molecular formula is the chemical formula that tells about the number of atoms of each element present in a compound. Molecular formula and empirical formula can also be the same when the number of atoms is in the simplest whole-number ratio.

To calculate the molecular formula, the number of atoms of the empirical formula is multiplied by a factor known as valency that is represented by the symbol, 'n'.

n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}        ...(1)

Given empirical formula is PO_3

Empirical mass = [(1\times 30.97) + (3\times 15.99)]=78.94 g/mol

Molecular mass = 157.9 g/mol

Plugging values in equation 1:

n=\frac{157.9 g/mol}{78.94g/mol}\\\\n=2

Molecular formula of the compound becomes P_{2\times 1}O_{2\times 3}=P_2O_6

Hence, the molecular formula of the compound is P_2O_6

In order to promote the common ion effect, the concentration of the common ion must first:_____.
Svet_ta [14]

We need to increase the concentration of common ion first, in order to promote the common ion effect

<h3>What is the Common ion effect?</h3>

It is an effect that suppresses the dissociation of salt due to the addition of another salt having common ions.

For example, a saturated solution of silver chloride in equilibrium has Ag⁺ and Cl⁻ . Sodium Chloride is added to the solution and has a common ion Cl⁻. As a result, the equilibrium shifts to the left to form more silver chloride. Thus, solubility of AgCl decreases.

The Equilibrium law states that if a process is in equilibrium and is subjected to a change

  • in temperature,
  • pressure,
  • the concentration of reactant or product,

then the equilibrium shifts in a particular direction, according to the condition.

Thus, an increase in the concentration of common ion promotes the common ion effect.

which of the following pairs of elements could react to form an ionic compound? A. potassium and calcium B. sulfur and oxygen C.
Grace [21]
The correct option is FLUORINE AND COPPER.
An ionic compound is usually formed by the combination of a metal and a non metal, the metal usually act as an electron donor while the non metal act as an electron acceptor. Thus, in ionic compounds, there is total transfer of electrons from the metal to the non metal. In the question given here, copper is the metal while the fluorine is the non metal.<span />

a doctor's order is 0.125 g of ampicillin. the liquid suspension on hand contains 250 mg/5.0 ml. how many milliliters of the sus
disa [49]
0.125 g=(0.125 g)(1000 mg/1g)=125 mg.

Then, we need 125 mg of ampicillin.
5 ml of  liquid suspension contains 250 mg of ampicilling , therefore:

5 ml----------------250 mg of ampicilling
x--------------------125 mg of ampicilling

x=(5 ml * 125 mg of ampicilling) / 250 mg of ampicilling=2.5 ml

Answer: we require 2.5 ml
