Answer: P2O5 is the empirical formula.

Explanation: When given percentages you can assume that many grams of each atom are in the compound. Then you divide grams by the molar mass of each element, giving you moles. Once you have moles, divide by the smaller molar amount, which should give you 1 mol of Phosphorus and 2.5 mol of Oxygen. Then multiply by 2 in order for both moles to be a whole number. This gets you 2 and 5.

Two equilibrium reactions of nitrogen with oxygen, with their corresponding equilibrium constants (Kc) at a certain temperature,
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Kc = 1.54e - 31 / 2.61e - 24

Explanation:

1 )   N_{2}(gas) + O_{2}(gas)\rightarrow 2NO(gas)  ; Kc = 1.54e - 31

2)   N_{2}(gas) + 1/2O_{2}(gas)\rightarrow N_{2}O(gas)  ; Kc = 2.16e - 24

   upon reversing  ( 2 )  equation

     N_{2}O(gas)\rightarrow N_{2}(gas) + 1/2O_{2}(gas)   Kc = 1/2.16e - 24  

    now adding 1 and reversed equation (2)

       N_{2}(gas) + O_{2}(gas)\rightarrow 2NO(gas)

      N_{2}O(gas)\rightarrow N_{2}(gas) + 1/2O_{2}(gas)

   we get ,

                  N_{2}O(gas) + 1/2O_{2}(gas)\rightarrow 2NO(gas)  Kc = 1.54e-31 × 1/2.61e - 24

       equilibrium constant of equation (3) is -

            Kc = 1.54e - 31 / 2.61e - 24

How long does it take for a 12.62g sample of ammonia to heat from 209K to 367K if heated at a constant rate of 6.0kj/min? The me
Georgia [21]
First, consider the steps to heat the sample from 209 K to 367K.

1) Heating in liquid state from 209 K to 239.82 K

2) Vaporaizing at 239.82 K

3) Heating in gaseous state from 239.82 K to 367 K.


Second, calculate the amount of heat required for each step.

1) Liquid heating

Ammonia = NH3 => molar mass = 14.0 g/mol + 3*1g/mol = 17g/mol

=> number of moles = 12.62 g / 17 g/mol = 0.742 mol

Heat1 = #moles * heat capacity * ΔT

Heat1 = 0.742 mol * 80.8 J/mol*K * (239.82K - 209K) = 1,847.77 J

2) Vaporization

Heat2 = # moles * H vap

Heat2 = 0.742 mol * 23.33 kJ/mol = 17.31 kJ = 17310 J

3) Vapor heating

Heat3 = #moles * heat capacity * ΔT

Heat3 = 0.742 mol * 35.06 J / (mol*K) * (367K - 239.82K) = 3,308.53 J

Third, add up the heats for every steps:

Total heat = 1,847.77 J + 17,310 J + 3,308.53 J = 22,466.3 J

Fourth, divide the total heat by the heat rate:

Time = 22,466.3 J / (6000.0 J/min) = 3.7 min

Answer: 3.7 min

An atom of lithium (Li) forms an ionic bond with an atom of chlorine (Cl) to form lithium chloride. How are the valence electron
miskamm [114]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of lithium is 3 and electrons in its shell are distributed as 2, 1. Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and electrons in its shell are distributed as 2, 8, 7.

Thus, we can see that lithium has 1 extra electron and chlorine has deficiency of 1 electron. Therefore, in order to gain stability lithium will transfer its 1 extra electron to chlorine atom.

Thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from the lithium atom to the chlorine atom.
