- Phosphoric acid, a mild acid used among other things as a rust inhibitor, food additive, and etching agent for cavity repair by dentist, can be made from elemental phosphorus in a two-step process. In the first step phosphorus and oxygen react to form diphosphorus pentoxide: P4(s) +5O2(g) = 2P2O5(g) In the second step, diphosphorus pentoxide and water reactive form phosphoric acid (H3PO4): P2O5(g) + 3H2O(l) = 2H3PO4(l) Suppose the yield of the first step is 68% and the yield of the second step is 95%.

Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 250.mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with iron(III) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: FeCl3 (aq) + 3AgNO3 (aq) → 3AgCl (s) + FeNO33 (aq)The chemist adds 86.0m M silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. He finds he has collected 7.5mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of iron(III) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.arrow_forward

Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if needed, and is rounded to the correct number of significant digits. oloarrow_forwardA chemist invents a new combustion analysis instrument that uses less O2(g) which saves money on each analysis. The improvement is that instead of CO2(g) being formed and trapped, CO(g) is formed and trapped. H2O (g) is also formed and trapped when substances that contain hydrogen are analyzed.(a) The chemist places 2.184 g of an unknown compound of carbon and hydrogen in the new analyzer. 4.627 g of CO (g) and 1.795 g of H2O (g) are produced. Find the empirical formula for the compound.(Molar masses (g/mol): CO = 28.0104, H2O = 18.015) (b) Despite the best efforts of the chemist, the molar mass of the compound cannot be determined (using this method). Clearly explain why this prevents the determination of the molecular formulaarrow_forwardSand is mainly silicon dioxide.
