Empirical formula of ionic compound is FeO. In which the composition of atoms is 1 : 1.

Empirical formula of an ionic compound is defined as the formula which gives whole number ratio of atoms of various elements present in molecule of compund.

mass of iron in compound = 34.95 g

molar mass of iron = 55.8 g

mass of oxygen in compound = 15.05 g

molar mass of oxygen = 32 g

number of moles of iron present in the compound are ratio of mass of iron in compound/ molar mass of iron

number of moles of iron in compound= 34.95 / 55.8 = 0.6263 ~ 1

number of moles oxygen in compound= 15.05/ 32 = 0.473 ~ 0.5

the ratio of the number of oxygen atoms to number of iron atoms present in one formula unit of iron compund is 2×0.5 / 1 = 1 : 1

Hence , the required empirical formula of iron compound is FeO.

What is the average atomic mass (in amu) of element M?

valkas [14]

An atomic mass unit (symbolized AMU or amu) is defined as precisely 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12. The carbon-12 (C-12) atom has six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus. In imprecise terms, one AMU is the average of the proton rest mass and the neutron rest mass.

If you use a horizontal force of 32.0 N to slide a 12.5 kg wooden crate across a floor at a constant velocity, what is the coeff

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Value of coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.26 .

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of wooden crate, m = 12.5 kg.

Horizontal force to keep the block moving with constant velocity, F = 32.0 N.

Since, the block is moving with constant velocity.

So, net force experience by it is zero.

Therefore, fore of friction is equal to applied force.

Now, force of friction , $F=\mu_kN$ ( here $\mu_k$ is coefficient of kinetic friction and N is normal force)

Therefore, $\mu_kN=\mu_k\times mg=\mu_k\times 12.5 \times 9.8=122.5\times \mu_k$

Now, both forces are equal.

$122.5\times \mu_k=32\\\mu_k=\dfrac{32}{122.5}=0.26$

The value of coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.26 .

Hence, it is the required solution.
