Answer:

Molecular formula = P₄O₁₀

Explanation:

Given data:

Empirical formula of compound = P₂O₅

Molar mass of compound = 426 g/mol

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass=  P₂O₅  = 283.89 g/mol

n = 426 g/mol / 283.89 g/mol

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 (P₂O₅ )

Molecular formula = P₄O₁₀

A chemist measures the energy change ?H during the following reaction: 2HgO (s) ?2Hg (l) +O2 (g) =?H182.kJ Use the information t
Leni [432]

Answer:

The reaction is endothermic.

Yes, absorbed

3.06x10¹kJ are absorbed

Explanation:

In the reaction:

2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂(g) ΔH = 182kJ

As ΔH >0,

<em>The reaction is endothermic</em>

<em />

As the reaction is endothermic, when the reaction occurs,

<em>the heat is absorbed.</em>

<em></em>

Now, based on the equation, when 2 moles of HgO (Molar mass: 216.59g/mol), 182kJ are absorbed.

72.8g are:

72.8g * (1mol / 216.59g) = 0.3361 moles HgO.

that absorb:

0.3361 moles HgO * (182kJ / 2 moles) =

<h3>3.06x10¹kJ are absorbed</h3>

Consider the reaction below:
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

(A) first order reaction

Explanation:

A first order reaction is a type of reaction in which the rate of the reaction depends only on the concentration on one of the reactants. Since A is the only reactant we have, it is right to deduce that this reaction is a first order reaction.

Note: while the order of this reaction is 1, its molecularity is 2. The molecularity of a reaction is the number of moles of reactants that is actually reacting.

(B) is wrong

This is because a zero order reaction is one in which the rate of reaction is not influenced by the concentrations of the reactants and hence remains constant irrespective. Since we were not furnished with this idea in the question, it is only right that we reject this answer.

(C) is wrong.

C is outrightly wrong as we have only one reactant.

(D) is wrong

We have only one reactant.

When the Sun provides heat energy to the water cycle it creates which of the following?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: Evaporation

Explanation:

When the heat of the sun touches the water, the water molecules heat up and move gradually faster. Over time molecules start to pop out the surface of the water individually.

And then eventually all the water is evaporated into water vapor.
