The chemical formula for the compound containing 8.6 mol of sulfur and 3.42 mol of phosphorus is P₂S₅

<h3>How do I determine the formula of the compound?</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obatined:

Sulphur (S) = 8.6 moles
Phosphorus (P) = 3.42 mole
Chemical formula =?

The chemical formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:

Divide by their molar mass

S = 8.6 / 32 = 0.26875

P = 3.42 / 31 = 0.11032

Divide by the smallest

S = 0.26875 / 0.11032 = 2.44

P = 0.11032 / 0.11032 = 1

Multiply by 2 to express in whole number

S = 2.44 × 2 = 5

P = 1 × 2 = 2

Thus, the chemical formula is P₂S₅

The pressure of a sample of helium in a 200. ml container is 2.0 atm. If the helium is compressed to a pressure of 40. atm witho

Crank

Answer:

$V_2=10mL$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it will be possible for us to solve this problem by using the Boyle's law as an inversely proportional relationship between pressure and volume:

$P_2V_2=P_1V_1$

In such a way, we solve for the final volume, V2, and plug in the initial volume and pressure and final pressure to obtain:

$V_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} \\\\V_2=\frac{2.0atm*200.mL}{40.atm}\\\\V_2=10mL$

For the reaction: N2O5(g) \longrightarrow&longrightarrow; 2NO2(g) + 1/2O2(g)

ivanzaharov [21]

The given equation from the problem above is already balance,
N2O5 ---> 2NO2 + 0.5O2
Since, in every mole of N2O5 consumed, 2 moles of NO2 are formed, we can answer the problem by multiplying the given rate, 7.81 mol/L.s with the ratio.
(7.81 mol/L.s) x (2 moles NO2 formed/ 1 mole of N2O5 consumed)
= 15.62 mol/L.s
The answer is the rate of formation of NO2 is approximately 15.62 mol/L.s.
