Given : Density of Bromine = 3.12 g/mL
Formula : Density = Mass / Volume
Part A :
Given Volume = 125 mL
Density = Mass / Volume
So, Mass = Density x Volume
= 3.12 x 125
= 390 grams
Part B :
Given mass = 85.0 gm
Density = Mass / Volume
So, Volume = Mass / Density
= 85 / 3.12
= 27.24 mL
The sum of all energies involved in breaking and or forming chemical bonds within the reactants side of the reaction is equal to the sum of all energies involved in the formation and rearranging of atoms within the product side of the chemical reaction.
The total energies of reactants = the total energies of products.
Scientist rely on their estimates when they cannot obtain on exact numbers
Let the total mass of compound is 100g
The mass of each element will be
Al = 22.10 g
P = 25.40 g
O = 52.50 g
In order to determine the molecular formula we will calculate the molar ratio of the given elements
Atomic weight of Al : 27 g/ mol
Atomic weight of P : 3 1g /mol
Atomic weight of O : 16 g /mol
Moles of Al = mass / atomic mass = 22.10 / 27 = 0.819
Moles of P = mass / atomic mass = 25.40/ 31 = 0.819
Moles of O = mass / atomic mass = 52.50/ 16 = 3.28
Now we will divide the moles of each element with the lowest moles obtained to obtain a whole number ratio of moles of each element present
moles of Al = 0.819 / 0.819 = 1
moles of P = 0.819 / 0.819 = 1
moles of O = 3.28 / 0.819 = 4
So the empirical formula will be : AlPO4
