Answer:  

P₅O₁₂

<em>Explanation:  </em>

Assume that you have 100 g of the compound.  

Then you have 44.7 g P and 55.3 g O.  

1. Calculate the <em>moles</em> of each atom  

Moles of P  = 44.7 × 1/30.97 = 1.443 mol Al  

Moles of O = 55.3 × 1/16.00 = 3.456 mol O  

2. Calculate the <em>molar ratios</em>.  

P: 1.443/1.443 =   1  

O: 3.456/1.443 = 2.395

3. Multiply by a number to make the ratio close to an integer

P:  5 × 1         =  5

O: 5 × 2.395 = 11.97

3. Determine the <em>empirical formula </em>

Round off all numbers to the closest integer.  

P:   5

O: 12

The empirical formula is <em>P₅O₁₂</em>.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The possible structures are ketone and aldehyde.

Explanation:

Number of double bonds of the given compound is calculated using the below formula.

N_{db}=N_{c}+1-\frac{N_{H}+N_{Br}-N_{N}}{2}

N_{db}=Number of double bonds

N_{c} = Number of carbon atoms

N_{H} = Number of hydrogen atoms

N_{N} = Number of nitrogen atoms

The number of double bonds in the given formula - C_{4}H_{8}O

N_{db}= 4+1-\frac{8+0-0}{2}=1

The number of double bonds in the compound is one.

Therefore, probable structures is as follows.

(In attachment)

The structures I and III are ruled out from the probable structures because the signal in 13C-NMR appears at greater than 160 ppm.

alkene compounds I and II shows signal less than 140 ppm.

Hence, the probable structures III and IV are given as follows.

The carbonyl of structure I appear at 202 and ketone group of IV appears at 208 in 13C, which are greater than 160.

Hence, the molecular formula of the compound C_{4}H_{8}O having possible structure in which the signal appears at greater than 160 ppm are shown aw follows.

Virty [35]

Answer:

the same chemistry student has a weight of 155lbs what is the student weight in grams? (16 oz= 1 lb, 1 oz= 28.34g)

Explanation:1 lb = 16oz, so multiply your pounds by 16 to get you ounces of the student, then multiply by 28.34 to get grams

155 X 16 X 28.34 = 70283.2

Using the following data table and graph, calculate the average k from the data. Amount CO2 (mL) Amount of White Solid (g) y x 1
UkoKoshka [18]
The k is the proportionality constant of the reaction. Graphically, this is the slope of the graph. Since the graph is linear, then there is only 1 value of k. To calculate this, choose two random points in the line. Suppose we use (0.15,10) and (0.30,20), calculate for the slope.

Slope = k = (10 - 20)/(0.15 - 0.30) = 66.67 mL CO₂/g CaCO₃
