Answer:
I mean ig it is, but i dk
Explanation:
It represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom which determines the chemical properties of an element.
Answer:
P2O3
Explanation:
Firstly, we know that the phosphorus would absorb oxygen from air to form its oxide. We already know the mass of the phosphorus, we can get the mass of the oxygen by subtracting the mass of the phosphorus from the mass of the oxide.
The mass of the oxygen is 2.57 - 1.45 = 1.12g
From here, we covert these masses to moles by dividing by the atomic masses of phosphorus and oxygen respectively.
The atomic mass of phosphorus is 31 while that of oxygen is 16.
P = 1.45/31 = 0.046774193548
O = 1.12/16 = 0.07
We now divide by the smallest which is that of phosphorus.
P = 0.046774193548/ 0.046774193548= 1
O = 0.07/ 0.046774193548 = 1.5
We then multiply the answers by 2 for conversion to whole numbers. Making P = 2 and O = 3
The empirical formula is thus P2O3
it is a combination reaction or oxidation reaction.
Answer : The chemical reaction which takes place when Magnesium wire is burnt in air is Combination Reaction. Another type of reaction also takes place which is called Exothermic Reaction because heat or energy gets released when it is burnt in air.
