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.

Calculate the enthalpy of formation of butane, C4H10, using the balanced chemical
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

-125.4

Explanation:

Target equation is 4C(s) + 5H2(g) = C4H10

These are the data equations for enthalpy of combustion

  1. C(s) + O2(g) =O2(g) -393.5 kJ/mol * 4
  2. H2(g) + ½O2(g) =H20(l) = 285.8 kJ/mol * 5
  3. 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l) = 13/2O2 (g) + C4H10 - 2877.1 reverse

To get target equation multiply data equation 1 by 4; multiply equation 2 by 5; and reverse equation 3, so...

Calculate 4(-393.5) + 5(-285.8) + 2877.6 and you should get the answer.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

453.592 grams

Explanation:

Given

Mass = 1 lb

Required.

Convert to grams using dimensional analysis

Represent 1 lb with x g

In unit conversion, we have that.

1 lb = 453.592 g

So:

Getting the equivalent of lb in g, we have:

x g = 1 lb * (453.592 g/ 1 lb)

x g = 1 * 453.592 g

x g = 453.592 grams

Hence:

The equivalent of 1 lb in grams is 453.592 grams
