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.

Which sentence is a scientific statement?
LekaFEV [45]

Solution: Sentence D is a scientific statement.

Scientific statement is a statement that defines the science behind any situation. There should be any experimental result or observation to state any scientific statement. Also, the statement should be accepted by considering other scientific aspects.

Here, statement A can not be a scientific statement as different aromas of cooked food are liked by different people. Any one can find aroma of cooked food in copper better than the ceramic pot.

Thus, the statement can be proved wrong easily.

Statement B can not be a scientific statement as people can find the taste of normal water (without ice cubes) better than the ice cold water.

Statement C is not a scientific statement as there is no science behind watching baseball or ice hockey, it depends on the liking of today's people.

Statement D is a scientific statement because this can be scientifically proved.

A block of ice is cooled from -0.5 degrees Celsius to -10.1 degrees Celsius. Calculate the temperature change, delta T, in degre
ss7ja [257]
Delta T= T final - T initial
Tfinal= -101.1 °C
Tinitial= -0.5 °C
•Delta T = -101.1°C - (-0.5°C)
=100.6°C

Kelvin= °C + 273
= -100.6 + 273
= 172.4 Kelvin

How many grams of HNO3 are produced when 59.0 g of NO2 completely reacts?
Anettt [7]

Answer:

53.7 grams of HNO3 will be produced

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of NO2 = 59.0 grams

Molar mass NO2 = 46.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

3NO2 + H2O→ 2HNO3 + NO

Step 3: Calculate moles NO2

Moles NO2 = 59.0 grams / 46.0 g/mol

Moles NO2 = 1.28 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles HNO3

For 3 moles NO2 we need 1 mol H2O to produce 2 moles HNO3 and 1 mol NO

For 1.28 moles NO2 we'll have 2/3 * 1.28 =0.853 moles HNO3

Step 7: Calculate mass HNO3

Mass HNO3 = 0.853 moles * 63.01 g/mol

Mass HNO3 = 53.7 grams

53.7 grams of HNO3 will be produced
