Answer:

a. NH3+ HCl → NH4Cl

c. 2O3 → 3O2

Explanation:

A redox reaction is a reaction in which there is loss or gain of electrons. As a result of that , there is a change in the oxidation number of the species involved in the reaction.

If we look at the species shown in the answer, there isn't any change in oxidation number as we move from left to right hence they are not redox reactions.

Redox reactions lead to change in oxidation number of species from left to right.

Determine the empirical formulas for compounds with the following percent compositions:

Elis [28]

Answer:

For a: The empirical formula of the compound is $P_2O_5$

For b: The empirical formula of the compound is $KH_2PO_4$

Explanation:

For a:

We are given:

Percentage of P = 43.6 %

Percentage of O = 56.4 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of P = 43.6 g

Mass of O = 56.4 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Phosphorus = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Phosphorus}}{\text{Molar mass of Phosphorus}}=\frac{43.6g}{31g/mole}=1.406moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{56.4g}{16g/mole}=3.525moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 1.406 moles.

For Phosphorus = $\frac{1.406}{1.406}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{3.525}{1.406}=2.5$

Converting the moles in whole number ratio by multiplying it by '2', we get:

For Phosphorus = $1\times 2=2$

For Oxygen = $2.5\times 2=5$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of P : O = 2 : 5

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $P_2O_5$

For b:

We are given:

Percentage of K = 28.7 %

Percentage of H = 1.5 %

Percentage of P = 22.8 %

Percentage of O = 56.4 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of K = 28.7 g

Mass of H = 1.5 g

Mass of P = 43.6 g

Mass of O = 56.4 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Potassium = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Potassium}}{\text{Molar mass of Potassium}}=\frac{28.7g}{39g/mole}=0.736moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of hydrogen}}=\frac{1.5g}{1g/mole}=1.5moles$

Moles of Phosphorus = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Phosphorus}}{\text{Molar mass of Phosphorus}}=\frac{22.8g}{31g/mole}=0.735moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{47g}{16g/mole}=2.9375moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.735 moles.

For Potassium = $\frac{0.736}{0.735}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1.5}{0.735}=2.04\approx 2$

For Phosphorus = $\frac{0.735}{0.735}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{2.9375}{0.735}=3.99\approx 4$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of K : H : P : O = 1 : 2 : 1 : 4

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $KH_2PO_4$

What does the chemical formula phCl2(s)

hram777 [196]

Answer: Lead chloride solution is A SUBSTANCE.

In chemistry, all matters are divided into mixtures and pure substances. The pure substances are made up of one type of particle while the mixtures are made up of different particles. The pure substances can be in form of an element or a compound. Lead chloride for instance is a compound and is a pure substance.

Good luck!!! Hope this helps!!! ;)
