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.

A minimumenergy of 7.21x10-19 J is required to produce the photoelectric effect in chromium metal.
forsale [732]

Answer:

<em>2.085 x 10^-20 J</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

minimum energy required to produce photoelectric effect in chromium is given as hf =  7.21 x 10^-19 J

The work function of chromium Ф = 4.37 eV = 7.00151 x 10^-19 J

The minimum energy required to eject an electron from from a chromium metal E = ?

From E = hf - Ф

substituting values, we have

E = (7.21 x 10^-19) - (7.00151 x 10^-19)

E = <em>2.085 x 10^-20 J</em>

acetic acid or vinegar boils sooner than water. if you had a mixture of acetic acid and water, you could seperate it by?
melomori [17]
Since acetic acid or vinegar boils sooner than water and vinegar and water are highly miscible, we cant separate the two by filtration but one way is to use their volatilities. We can boil the solution at 100oC and thats the time, water remains in the container.
