Answer:

P₂Cl₁₀

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Molar mass of compound X = 416.48 g/mol

Percentage of phosphorus (P) = 14.87%

Percentage of Chlorine (Cl) = 85.13%

Molecular formula of X =?

Next, we shall determine the empirical formula of compound X. This can be obtained as follow:

P = 14.87%

Cl = 85.13%

Divide by their molar mass

P = 14.87 / 31 = 0.480

Cl = 85.13 / 35.5 = 2.398

Divide by the smallest

P = 0.480 / 0.480 = 1

Cl = 2.398 / 0.480 = 5

Empirical formula of compound X is PCl₅

Finally, we shall determine the molecular formula of compound X. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of compound X = 416.48 g/mol

Empirical formula = PCl₅

Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula= [Empirical formula]ₙ

[PCl₅]ₙ = 416.48

[31 + (35.5 × 5)]ₙ = 416.48

[31 + 177.5]n = 416.48

208.5n = 416.48

Divide both side by 208.5

n = 416.48 / 208.5

n = 2

Molecular formula = [PCl₅]ₙ

Molecular formula = [PCl₅]₂

Molecular formula = P₂Cl₁₀

Therefore, the molecular formula of compound X is P₂Cl₁₀

At 570. mm Hg and 25°C, a gas sample ne (in mm Hg) at a volume of 1250 mL and a temperature of 175°C and 25°C, a gas sample has

maw [93]

Answer:

final pressure ( P2) = 467.37 mm Hg

Explanation:

ideal gas:

PV = nRT

∴ P1 = 570 mm Hg * ( atm / 760 mm Hg ) = 0.75 atm

∴ T1 = 25 ° C = 298 K

∴ V1 = 1.250 L

∴ R = 0.082 atm L / K mol

⇒ n = P1*V1 / R*T1

⇒ n = (( 0.75 ) * ( 1.25 )) / (( 0.082 ) * ( 298 ))

⇒ n = 0.038 mol gas

∴ T2 = 175 °C ( 448 K )

∴ V2 = 2.270 L

⇒ P2 = nRT2 / V2

⇒ P2 = (( 0.038 ) * ( 0.082 ) * ( 448 )) / 2.270

⇒ P2 = 0.615 atm * ( 760 mm Hg / atm ) = 467.37 mm Hg

A horizontal pipe 15 cm in diameter and 4 m long is buried in the earth at a depth of 20 cm. The pipe-wall temperature is 75 deg

Basile [38]

Explanation:

The given data for case (1) is as follows.

h = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Assuming that a rectangular slab is placed above the pipe and we will calculate the heat transfer as follows.

Q = $kA \frac{\Delta T}{L}$

where, A = area

L = length

k = thermal conductivity = 0.8 W/m

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature.

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

Q = $kA \frac{\Delta T}{L}$

= $0.8 W/m \times (4 m \times 0.15 m) \frac{75 - 5}{0.2}$

= 168 W

For case (2), h = 180 cm = 1.8 m

Therefore, heat lost will be calculated as follows.

Q = $kA \frac{\Delta T}{L}$

= $0.8 W/m \times (4 m \times 0.15 m) \frac{75 - 5}{1.8}$

= 18.67 W

Thus, we can conclude that 18.67 W heat lost if the pipe was buried at a depth of 180 cm.

Complete combustion of a 0.600-g sample of a compound in a bomb calorimeter releases 24.0 kJ of heat. The bomb calorimeter has a

coldgirl [10]

The final temperature, t₂ = 30.9 °C

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

24.0 kJ of heat = 24,000 J

Mass of calorimeter = 1.3 kg = 1300 g

Cs = 3.41 J/g°C

t₁= 25.5 °C

Required

The final temperature, t₂

Solution

Q = m.Cs.Δt

Q out (combustion of compound) = Q in (calorimeter)

24,000 = 1300 x 3.41 x (t₂-25.5)

t₂ = 30.9 °C
