Consider some unknown compound containing only copper and oxygen. In order to determine the empirical formula, a sample of the c

ompound is decomposed into the elements copper and oxygen. The original sample had a mass of 0.6349g prior to decomposition. After the reaction, 0.5066g of pure copper solid was recovered. How many moles of copper were initially in the sample?

The number of mole of copper in the sample is 0.008 mole.

Mole is simply defined as the unit of amount in a substance.

The mole of a substance can be obtained by dividing the mass of the subtance by its molar mass i.e

Mole = mass / molar mass

With the above information, we can obtain the mole of copper in the compound as follow:

Mass of copper = 0.5066 g

Molar mass of copper = 63.5 g/mol

<h3>Mole of copper =? </h3>

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of copper = 0.5066 / 63.5

<h3>Mole of copper = 0.008 mole </h3>

Therefore, 0.008 mole of copper was initially present in the compound.

How does carbon cycle through the ocean, atmosphere, soil, and biosphere?
saw5 [17]
Carbon moves from one storage reservoir to another through a variety of mechanisms. For example, in the food chain, plants move carbon from the atmosphere into the biosphere through photosynthesis. Respiration, excretion, and decomposition release the carbon back into the atmosphere or soil, continuing the cycle.

Phosphorus trichloride, PCl₃ is a liquid at room temperature.
Simora [160]

Answer:

Phosphorus trichloride, PCl₃ undergoes change in bonding and molecular force of attraction, causing it to be liquid at room temperature.

Explanation:

Unlike other chlorides of Period 3 elements, Phosphorus trichloride, PCl₃ changes the structure of its molecular bonding from ionic to covalent bonds as it transitions to fluids (liquids or gases). The PCl₃ molecule also has the weak Van der Waals dispersion and dipole-dipole attraction, making it a fuming liquid at room temperature,  with no electrical conductivity.
