The empirical formula of the compound is C4H1.

An empirical formula represents the whole number ratio of various atoms present in a compound.

If the mass percent of various elements present in a compound is known, its empirical formula can be determined

We are given that a compound contains 4 mole C and 1 mole H.

Hence, the ratio of C: H is 4:1, which is already in the form of the simplest whole number.

Therefore, the empirical formula of the given compound is C4H1 and its molecular mass is 12 x 4 + 1 = 49.

A hypothetical element, E, has two stable isotopes. One isotope has a natural abundance of 68.037% and has an atomic mass of 46.

I am Lyosha [343]

If the abundance of the first isotope is 68.037%, then the abundance of the second isotope is 100%-68.037%.

Substituting into the atomic mass formula,

$47.574=(46.449)(0.68037)+x(1-0.68037)\\\\ 47.574=31.60250613+0.31963x\\\\15.97149387=0.31963x\\\\x \approx \boxed{49.969 \text{ u}}$

Answer:

A potassium atom (atomic number 19) and a bromine atom (atomic number 35) can form a chemical bond through a transfer of one electron. The potassium ion that forms has 18 electrons. What best describes the bromide ion that forms? It is a negative ion that has one more valence electron than a neutral bromine atom.

The maximum amounts of lead and copper allowed in drinking water are 0.015 mg/kg for lead and 1.3 mg/kg for copper. Tell the max

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The maximum amount of copper allowed in 100 g of water is 0.00013 g

Explanation:

To find the maximum amount of copper (in grams) allowed in 100 g of water use the maximum amount ratio (1.3 mg / kg) and set a proportion with the unknown amount of copper (x) and the amount of water (100 g):

First, convert 100 g of water to kg: 100 g × 1 kg / 1000 g = 0.1 kg.

Now, set the proportion:

1.3 mg Cu / 1 Kg H₂O = x / 0.1 kg H₂O

Solve for x:

x = 0.1 kg H₂O × 1.3 mg Cu / 1 kg H₂O = 0.13 mg Cu

Convert mg to grams:

0.13 mg × 1 g / 1,000 mg = 0.00013 g

Answer: 0.00013 g of copper.
