Empirical formula mass

C2H4NO
2(12)+4(1)+14+16
30+24+4
58g/mol

Molar mass=232.2g/mol

Find n

Molar mass/Empirical formula mass
232.2/58
4

Molecular formula

n×Empirical formula
4(C2H4NO)
C8H16(NO)_4

Newton’s second law of motion is F=ma A net force of 60 N north acts on an object with a of 30 kg. Use Newton’s second law of mo

horsena [70]

I’m pretty sure the immediate answer is 2. Using the equation 60N=(30kg)x2(whatever unit of measure) also it will change because if you change the mass or the Net Force, your going to have to redo the equation based on the new information.

while ionic compounds in the solid state do not conduct electricity, when they are melted, electric current

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ionic (or electrovalent) compounds conduct electricity when there they are in the aqueous state/solution because the charges of ions of these compounds are what carry the electric charges in the aqueous solution as a result of free movement within the aqueous solution which they do not "have" when in there solid state (where they have a highly restricted movement/compacted structure).

You work for a cutlery manufacturer who wants to electrolytically precipitate 0.500 g of silver onto each piece of a batch of 25

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

373.1 mL of AgCN (aq) must be poured into your electrolysis vat to ensure you have sufficient Ag to plate all of the forks.

Explanation:

Mass of silver to be precipitated on ecah spoon = 0.500 g

Number of silver spoons = 250

Total mass of silver = 250 × 0.500 g = 125 g

$Moles (n)=Molarity(M)\times Volume (L)$

Moles of AgCN = n = $\frac{125 g}{134 g/mol}=0.9328 mol$

Volume of AgCN solution =V

Molarity of the AgCN = 2.50 M

$V=\frac{0.9328 mol}{2.50 M}=0.3731 L=373.1 mL$

(1 L = 1000 mL)

373.1 mL of AgCN (aq) must be poured into your electrolysis vat to ensure you have sufficient Ag to plate all of the forks.

After 11.5 days, 12.5% of a sample of radon-222 that originally weighed 42g remains. What is the half-life of this isotope?

Bond [772]

Half-life is defined as the amount of time it takes a given quantity to decrease to half of its initial value. The equation to describe the decay is
Nt=N0(1/2) $^{t/t(1/2)}$ where N0 is the initial quantity, Nt is the remaining quantity after time t, t1/2 is the half-time. So work out the equation, t1/2 = t (-ln2)/ln(Nt/N0) = 11.5*(-ln2)/ln(12.5/100) = 3.83 days
