The empirical formula of a compound found to have 55.7% hafnium and 44.3% chlorine is HfCl4.

<h3>How to calculate empirical formula?</h3>

The empirical formula of a compound is a notation indicating the ratios of the various elements present in a compound, without regard to the actual numbers.

The empirical formula of the given compound can be calculated as follows:

  • Hafnium = 55.7% = 55.7g
  • Chlorine = 44.3% = 44.3g

First, we convert mass values to moles by dividing by the molar mass of each element

  • Hafnium = 55.7g ÷ 178.49g/mol = 0.312mol
  • Chlorine = 44.3g ÷ 35.5g/mol = 1.25mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest

  • Hafnium = 0.312 ÷ 0.312 = 1
  • Chlorine = 1.25 ÷ 0.312 = 4

Therefore, the empirical formula of a compound found to have 55.7% hafnium and 44.3% chlorine is HfCl4.

If the strength of the magnetic field at A is 10 units, the strength of the magnetic field at B is _____. 640 units 6.4 units 2.
dezoksy [38]
Answer : Option C) 2.5 units

Explanation : For calculating the strength of a unknown magnetic field in comparison with the given magnetic field we can use the magnetic formula as;

\frac{ S_{1}}{S_{2}} =  \frac{ (D_{1}^{2}) }{(D_{2}^{2})} .

On substituting the values we get; 

\frac{10}{x}  =  \frac{4^{2}}{2^{2}} ;

On solving we get the magnetic B field strength as 2.5 units

Which of these solutions has the highest freezing point?
ANEK [815]

Answer: 1.0 M molecular sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁).


Explanation:


1) The depression of the freezing point of a solvent when you add a solute is a colligative property.


2) Colligative properties are those physical properties of solutions that depends on the number of solute particles dissolved into the solution.


3) The relation between the number of solute particles and the depresson of the freezing point is proportional: the greater the number of solute particles the greater the freezing point depression.


4) You need to find the solution with the highest freezing point, this is the solution in which the freezing point decreased the least.


5) Then, that is the solution with least number of solute particles.


6) Since all the given solutions have the same molarity (1.0 M), you only have to deal with the possible ionization of the different solutes.


7) NaCl, CaBr₂, AlBr₃, and KCl are ionic compounds, so each unit of them will ionize into two, three, four, and two ions, respectively, while sucrose, being a covalent compound does not dissociate.


Then, 1.0 M solution of sucrose will have less solute particles than the others, and will exhitibit the lowest freezing point depression, meaning that it will have the highest freezing point of the given solutions.

musickatia [10]

Answer:

Weather and erosion.

Explanation:

In Geography, weathering is the process of breaking down of rocks, minerals and soil as a result of contact with water, earth's atmosphere, acid, ice, plants and animals. The breaking up of the rocks by weathering weakens it and makes it susceptible to erosion.

Erosion in geography is the movement of rocks and sediments to another place by water, wind and ice.

For instance, In many parts of the Cross Timbers and Prairies ecoregion, the Brazos river has formed tall, steep cliffs in the rock along its banks through the processes of weathering and erosion.
