Answer: PCl₃O
Explanation:
1) The chemical formula tells the composition of a compound in terms of the ratio of number of atoms of each element that consitutes such compound.
2) You use the chemical symbol for each kind of atom (element) and subscripts to the right of each symbol to tell the number of atoms of each element.
3) For example, O₂ means two atoms of oxygen. Al₂O₃ means two atoms of aluminum and 3 atoms of oxygen.
4) Therefore, PCl₃O means a ratio 1 : 3 : 1 for phosphorus, chlorine, and oxygen.
Hence, PCl₃O is the chemical formula of your compound.
Hey there!
MgCl₂
Find molar mass of magnesium chloride.
Mg: 1 x 24.305
Cl: 2 x 35.453
--------------------
95.211 grams
One mole of magnesium chloride has a mass of 95.211 grams.
We have 2.40 moles.
2.40 x 95.211 = 228.5
To 3 sig figs this is 229.
The mass of 2.40 moles of magnesium chloride is 229 grams.
Hope this helps!
Increase in kinetic energy as well as energy loss to the surroundings in the form of heat ( negligible)
I would say D, because you need to start with nothing to measure the different sizes as they start to grow. hope this helps!
