Answer:

<u>AZ₂</u>

Explanation:

The formed compound will not contain Q because mass percentages, %A and %B, form 100% of the compound.

<u>Steps</u>

  1. Change % of each element into grams.
  2. Convert grams of each element into moles by dividing grams by molar mass.
  3. Divide all moles by the smallest number of moles.
  4. If the moles are all whole numbers, then you’re done and that’s your empirical formula.
  5. If not, multiply all moles by number such that everything is a whole number.

<u>Solving</u>

  • We have 15.66g of A and 84.34g of Z
  • Moles of A, n(A) = 15.66/15.45 = 1.01 moles
  • Moles of Z, n(Z) = 84.34/41.62 = 2.02 moles
  • A = 1.01/1.01 = 1 and Z = 2.02/1.01 = 2
  • Therefore, the empirical formula is <u>AZ₂</u>

200 ml is 1/5 of a liter, so the answer is five times the number of moles present in the solution. 0.6 moles/0.2 liter = x moles/1.0 liter. Solving for x gives 0.2 x = 0.6 or x = 3.0 M

so the answer is c

What are the electrons for calcium
IRINA_888 [86]
The traditional calcium atom has twenty protons and twenty electrons making it neutral.


The calcium in the pic is a calcium ion so the number of protons and electrons are not equivalent.


Since it's 2+ that means the ion is positively charged and for that to happen electrons are away.

So 20-2=18

There are 18 electrons
