Your answer is
but if you are looking for some explanation check description below :)
Diphosphorus trioxide formula is:
Di stands from 2 atoms of something, in this case we have 2 atoms of Phosphorus.
Trioxide means that we have 3 atoms of oxygen in this substance that's why we have:
And water is just
Unbalanced formula is:
Now we need to balance this equation
On left hand side we have 2 atoms of Phosphorus, on right hand side we have just one atom of Phosphorus, that's why we need to put 2 before
Now we need to count all atoms of oxygen and hydrogen and make it equal on both side.
So we need to put 3 on left hand side before water to make this equation balanced.
That's why correct answer is:
Answer:
The molecular formule for this unknow molecule is C2H4O2
Explanation:
The empirical formula is CH2O ( or better said CnH2nOn)
This means there are 3 elements in the formula of this molecule
⇒ Carbon (C) with a Molar mass of 12 g/mole
⇒ Hydrogen (H) with a Molar mass of 1 g/mole
⇒ Oxygen (O) with a Molar mass of 16 g/mole
We can also notice that the amount of hydrogen should 2x the amount of carbon ( also 2x the amount of oxygen).
The mass of the empirical formule = 12g/ mole + 2* 1 g/mole + 16 g/mole = 30 g/mole
To know what number is n in CnH2nOn we should divide the molecular mass by the empirical mass:
60 g/mole / 30g/mole = 2
this means n = 2
and this will give a molecular formule of C2H4O2
We can control this to calculate the molecular mass:
2*12 + 4* 1 + 2*16 = 24 + 4 + 32 = 60 g/mole
The molecular formule for this unknow molecule is C2H4O2
In order to calculate the final temperature of the gas, we may apply Charles's law, which states that the pressure and temperature of a fixed amount of gas at constant volume are directly proportional. Mathematically:
P/T = constant
(absolute temperature is used, so T = 672 + 273 = 945 K)
Thus,
3.9 / 945 = 12.2 / T
T = 2,956 K or 2,683 °C
