I then divided the amount of moles that I got for each element by the smallest one (the moles of phosphorus) to get the empirical formula and came up with Ca2PO4. For my conversion from grams to atoms I calculated the number of grams in the empirical formula and came up with 175.13 g...
To me it looks more like a sensible approximation derived from single atoms or molecules, which might then carry over to certain kinds of ensembles under some conditions. But this latter step is not often made explicit---people actually do talk about μs of single atoms and molecules, and...
Multiply each atomic mass by the number of atoms of that element in the formula. Finally, take the sum total of all elements. In Mg3P2, there are 3 magnesium atoms and 2 phosphorus atoms. Therefore, we use the periodic table to find the atomic mass of mag...
Here, n represents the number of moles of gas present and R is the universal gas constant. The term involving the parameter a corrects the pressure for intermolecular attractive forces, while the term involving b is a correction for that portion of the volume of gas that is not compressible ...
In these runaway greenhouse atmospheres, water molecules in the upper atmosphere dissociate into H and O atoms [185]. Escape fluxes would be high enough for the lighter hydrogen atoms to also drag away heavier molecules (like O) along with them to space. This early phase of intense ...
