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.

Identify the covalent compounds based on the names of the compounds. barium nitrate dinitrogen tetroxide boron trifluoride ammon
noname [10]

Covalent compounds are composed of atoms that are linked via covalent bonds i.e. bonds formed by mutual sharing of electrons. This is in complete contrast to ionic compounds which are held together by ionic bonds, i.e. bonds formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to the other.

In the given examples we have:

Barium nitrate: Ba(NO3)2 - Ionic

Dinitrogen tetroxide: N2O4- Covalent

Boron trifluoride: BF3-Covalent

Ammonium sulfate: (NH4)2SO4- Ionic

Carbon tetrachloride: CCl4- Covalent

Barium chloride: BaCl2 - Ionic

How many atoms of hydrogen are in 0.500 mol of ch3oh molecules?
cestrela7 [59]
In 1 mol of CH3OH, you have 4 H-atoms (because 3 H-atoms are attached to the C-atom, and one H-atom in the OH group). That means in 0.500 mol of CH3OH, you have 2 H-atoms since it is halved. And then we have Avogadro's constant: 6.02 * 1023.

The question asks for how many hydrogen atoms there are in 0.500 mol CH3OH. Using the numbers that we have (Avogadro's constant and no. of H-atoms), the answer of the question will be something like:

<span>H-atoms in CH3OH = 2 * 6.02 * </span>1023<span> = ~1.2 * 10</span>24
