Answer:

Formula of the compound = $P_2O_5$

Explanation:

Given,

No. of mole of O = 8.20 mol

No. of mole of P = 3.30 mol

Chemical formula = $P_2O_x$

Ratio of P and O = $\frac{2}{x}$

$\frac{2}{x} =\frac{3.3}{8.20} \\x \times 3.3 = 8.20 \times 2\\x = \frac{8.20 \times 2}{3.3} \\x=4.9969\\ = 5$

formula of the compound = $P_2O_5$

Calculate the approximate number of atoms in a bacterium, assuming the average mass of an atom is ten times the mass of a hydrog

mezya [45]

Answer: -

The approximate number of atoms in a bacterium is 10¹¹

Explanation: -

We are given the mass of a bacterium is 10⁻¹⁵ kg.

We are told that the mass of a hydrogen atom is 10⁻²⁷ kg.

Finally we learn that the average mass of an atom of the bacterium is ten times the mass of a hydrogen atom.

Mass of an atom of bacterium = 10 x mass of hydrogen atom

= 10 x 10⁻²⁷ kg.

= 10⁻²⁶ kg.

Thus the number of atoms in a bacterium = $\frac{Total mass}{mass of 1 bacterium atom}$

= $\frac{10-15 kg}{10-26 kg}$

= 10¹¹

In which of these samples do the atoms have the least kinetic energy? bromine gas (75°C) bromine gas (60°C) liquid bromine (45°C

horrorfan [7]

Gases have high kinetic energy: the molecules are moving much more than in a liquid or solid. You can cut out A and B. In the liquids, the difference is temperature. If a lower temperature is closer to being solid, and a solid has lower kinetic energy than a liquid, then C is the answer. Hope this helps.

What is the reason carbon atoms are the most versatile building blocks of the molecules used by living organisms?

WITCHER [35]

Explanation:

Atomic number of carbon is 6. So, 4 valence electrons are present.

Therefore, it can form 4 covalent bonds with varying bond angles by sharing its valence electrons.

Catenation is also an important property of carbon. Catenation is bonding with atoms of same element. Carbon skeleton can be formed in any direction and can vary in length, branching, and ring structure.

Elements required for making most of the molecules in living organisms are:

C, H, N, O, P and S

Carbon easily form covalents with other 5 elements.

These properties make carbon most versatile building blocks of the molecules used by living organisms.

A certain liquid has a normal boiling point of and a boiling point elevation constant . A solution is prepared by dissolving som

irinina [24]

Answer:

$m_{KBr}=6.030gKBr$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the normal boiling point of X is 117.80 °C, the boiling point elevation constant is 1.48 °C*kg*mol⁻¹, the mass of X is 100 g and the boiling point of the mixture of X and KBr boils at 119.3 °C, we can use the following formula:

$(T_b-T_b_0)=i*m*K_b$

Whereas the Van't Hoff factor of KBr is 2 as it dissociates into potassium cations and bromide ions; it means that we can compute the molality of the solution:

$m=\frac{T_b-T_b_0}{i*K_b}=\frac{(119.3-117.8)\°C}{2*1.48\°C*kg*mol^{-1}}\\ \\m=0.507mol/kg$

Next, given the mass of solventin kg (0.1 kg from 100 g), we compute the moles KBr:

$n_{KBr}=0.507mol/kg*0.1kg=0.0507mol$

Finally, considering the molar mass of KBr (119 g/mol) we compute the mass that was dissolved:

$m_{KBr}=0.0507mol*\frac{119g}{1mol} \\\\m_{KBr}=6.030gKBr$

Best regards.
