Answer:

C4H10O

In case it's not understandable: c four, h ten, no

Explanation:

Molar mass of each component: C = 12.0107, H = 1.00794, O = 15.9994

Convert to moles: C = 5.3951892895502, H = 13.492866638887, O=1.3500506268985

Find the smallest mole value: 1.3500506268985

Divide all components by the smallest value: C = 3.9962866444087, H=9.9943412269543, O = 1

Round to closest whole numbers: C = 4, H = 10, O = 1

Combine to get the empirical formula: C4H10O

How many nitrogen atoms are in 2.79 mo.of NH3

alexandr1967 [171]

1 mol of any particles has 6.02 * 10 ²³ particles.

If we look at 1 NH3 (1 mol NH3 or 1 molecule NH3), we can see that 1 molecule NH3 has 1 atom of N and 3 atoms of H; also 1 mole of NH3 has 1 mole of N atoms and 3 moles of H atoms.

So, 1 mol of NH3 has 1 mol of N atoms,
and 2.79 mol NH3 have 2.79 mol of N atoms.

2.79 mol of N atoms* 6.02 * 10 ²³ N atoms/ 1 mol N atoms = 1.68*10²⁴ N-atoms

Answer is 1.68*10²⁴ N-atoms.

Why does lithium form only lithium oxide and not peroxide or superoxide

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Lithium does form a peroxide as well as an oxide on burning in air and I suspect the low temperature reaction with air forms a significant amount of peroxide.

Which word would not make this statement true?

statuscvo [17]

The first step in the two-step process of making a solution is the breakdown of the solute source into Atomic particles
for a solution to break the solute must be dissociated and break into the atomic particles
so correct option is D
