Answer: 1. The empirical formula is PNF_2  

2. The molecular formula is PNF_2

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of P = 37.32 g

Mass of N = 16.88 g

Mass of F = 45.79 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of P =\frac{\text{ given mass of P}}{\text{ molar mass of P}}= \frac{37.32g}{31g/mole}=1.20moles

Moles of N =\frac{\text{ given mass of N}}{\text{ molar mass of N}}= \frac{16.88g}{14g/mole}=1.20moles

Moles of F =\frac{\text{ given mass of F}}{\text{ molar mass of F}}= \frac{45.79g}{19g/mole}=2.41moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For P = \frac{1.20}{1.20}=1

For N = \frac{1.20}{1.20}=1

For F =\frac{2.41}{1.20}=2

The ratio of P: N: F= 1: 1: 2  

Hence the empirical formula is PNF_2

The empirical weight of PNF_2= 1(31)+1(14)+2(19)= 82.98 g.

The molecular weight = 82.98 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{82.98}{82.98}=1

The molecular formula will be=1\times PNF_2=PNF_2

Cu+2AgNO
baherus [9]

Answer:

Mass of Ag produced = 64.6 g

Note: the question is, how many grams of Ag is produced from 19.0 g of Cu and 125 g of AgNO3

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

Cu + 2AgNO3 ---> 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2

From the equation above, 1 mole of Cu reacts with 2 moles of AgNO3 to produce 2 moles of Ag and 1 mole of Cu(NO3)2.

Molar mass of the reactants and products are; Cu = 63.5 g/mol, Ag = 108 g/mol, AgNO3 = 170 g/mol, Cu(NO3)2 = 187.5 g/mol

To determine, the limiting reactant;

63.5 g of Cu reacts with 170 * 2 g of AgNO3,

19 g of Cu will react with (340 * 19)/63.5 g of AgNO3 =101.7 g of AgNO3.

Since there are 125 g of AgNO3 available for reaction, it is in excess and Cu is the limiting reactant.

63.5 g of Cu reacts to produce 108 * 2 g of Ag,

19 g of Cu will react to produce (216 * 19)/63.5 g of Ag = 64.6 g of Ag.

Therefore mass of Ag produced = 64.6g

What phenomenon in nature do scientists use to define the length of a meter? Why is this a better definition than “the length of
sergey [27]

Answer:

The natural phenomenon used to describe the length of a meter is the speed of light. The length of a meter is the length a light path travels in 1/(299792458) seconds through a vacuum.

The definition is better due to the uncertainty involved in the use of the length of a standard meter stick because the length of the meter stick could change due to atmospheric conditions from place to place

Consider the equilibrium reaction. 2 A + B − ⇀ ↽ − 4 C After multiplying the reaction by a factor of 2, what is the new equilibr
vredina [299]

Answer : The correct expression for equilibrium constant will be:

K_c=\frac{[C]^8}{[A]^4[B]^2}

Explanation :

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

The equilibrium expression for the reaction is determined by multiplying the concentrations of products and divided by the concentrations of the reactants and each concentration is raised to the power that is equal to the coefficient in the balanced reaction.

As we know that the concentrations of pure solids and liquids are constant that is they do not change. Thus, they are not included in the equilibrium expression.

The given equilibrium reaction is,

4A+2B\rightleftharpoons 8C

The expression of K_c will be,

K_c=\frac{[C]^8}{[A]^4[B]^2}

Therefore, the correct expression for equilibrium constant will be, K_c=\frac{[C]^8}{[A]^4[B]^2}
