Answer: KNO3

Explanation: Hello! the answer to your question is KNO3

We get this by dividing each by their molar mass

Potassium: 6.412/39.10 = 0.1639

Nitrogen: 2.292/14.01 =0.1635

Oxygen: 7.871/16.00 = 0.4919

We then pick the smallest of these results, this would be Nitrogen and divide everything with this answer, 0.1635

Potassium: = 0.1639/0.1635 = 1.002, about 1

Nitrogen: 0.1635=0.1635, 1

Oxygen: = 0.4919, 3.008, about 3

Now that we have the number of moles, we put it together, making KNO3

Consider a galvanic cell consisting of the following two redox couplesAlB+ 3e Al , Mga + 2e Mg, (ag. E® = 1.676 V ) E° = 2.356 V

malfutka [58]

Answer:

0.68 V

Explanation:

For anode;

3Mg(s) ---->3Mg^2+(aq) + 6e

For cathode;

2Al^3+(aq) + 6e -----> 2Al(s)

Overall balanced reaction equation;

3Mg(s) + 2Al^3+(aq) ----> 3Mg^2+(aq) + 2Al(s)

Since

E°anode = -2.356 V

E°cathode = -1.676 V

E°cell=-1.676 -(-2.356)

E°cell= 0.68 V

Why does electronegativity increase as you move across the periodic table

Scrat [10]

Answer:

moving across te periodic table electronegativity increases.

Explanation:

as we move across a period the effective nuclear charge increases as the number of protons in nucleus increases. due to increase in effective nuclear charge electronegativity increases

Calculate the molality of an ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) soltuion, that has a molarity of 2.07 M. The density of the solution is 1.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

2.03

Explanation:

Let's <u>assume we have 1 L of the solution</u>:

There would be 2.07 ethylene glycol moles.

The solution would weigh (1000 mL * 1.02 g/mL) = 1020 g.

With that information we can <u>calculate the molality</u>:

molality = moles of solute / kg of solvent

molality = 2.07 moles / (1020 ÷ 1000) = 2.03 m

Keep in mind that this is only an estimate, as we used the kg of the solution and not of the solvent.
