Answer:

Another name for light is ¨Electromagnetic Radiation, luminous energy, and/or radiant energy.¨

Explanation:

Light is the electromagnetic radiation that´s capable of causing a visual sensation and has wavelengths from about 380 to about 780 nanometres. Electromagnetic radiation includes Radio Waves, Microwaves <u>(used in microwaves)</u>, Infrared Radiation <u>(heat)</u>, Visible Light <u>(the colors we see)</u>, Ultraviolet <u>(the UV radiation that causes sunburns)</u>, X-Rays <u>(used in medical X-Rays)</u>, and Gamma Rays <u>(which can be used to treat cancer)</u>. Light waves are transverse waves because they only travel east or west, but their crests and troughs face north and south (if desplayed on a coordinate grid). They wouldn´t be longitudinal waves because these waves don´t have vertical crests and troughs.

I hope this helps!

A compound is 44.7% P and the rest O. Determine its emperical formula.
svet-max [94.6K]

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>.
