To determine the empirical formula of the compound given, we need to determine the ratio of each element in the compound. To do that we assume to have 100 grams sample of the compound with the given composition. Then, we calculate for the number of moles of each element. We do as follows:
         mass        moles
Sn     78.77       0.6636
O      21.23       1.3269

Dividing the number of moles of each element with the smallest value, we will have the empirical formula:

         moles                 ratio
Sn    0.6636          0.6636/0.6636 = 1
O     1.3269          1.3269/0.6636 = 2

The empirical formula would be SnO2.

what would the heat transfer be if you are making macaroni and it rises and falls in a pot on the stove ?
MrMuchimi
Convection

Convection is transfer of heat through fluid (liquid or gas) caused by their molecular motion. In convection, heat current flows in a vertically upward direction. Macaroni rising and falling in a pot of boiling water is due to convection

What would be the concentration of a solution resulting when you dissolve 4.725g of nacl (molar mass = 58.45) in water to make a
aliya0001 [1]
<span>There are a number of ways to express concentration of a solution. This includes molarity. It is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution.  To convert the mass of the solute to moles, we use the molar mass of the substance. We calculate as follows:

MOlarity = 4.725 g ( 1 mol / 58.45 g ) / .5 L = 0.162 mol / L</span>

Write the net ionic reaction for the following double replacement reaction:
Schach [20]

Net ionic equation

Cu²⁺(aq)+S²⁻(aq)⇒CuS(s)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Double-Replacement reactions. Happens if there is an ion exchange between two ion compounds in the reactant to form two new ion compounds in the product

In the ion equation, there is a spectator ion that is the ion which does not react because it is present before and after the reaction  

When these ions are removed, the ionic equation is called the net ionic equation  

For gases and solids including water (H₂O) can be written as an ionized molecule  

Reaction

CuSO₄(aq)+Na₂S(aq)⇒CuS(s)+Na₂SO₄

ionic equation

Cu²⁺(aq)+SO₄²⁻(aq)+2Na⁺(aq)+S²⁻(aq)⇒CuS(s)+2Na⁺(aq+SO₄²⁻(aq)

spectator ions : 2Na⁺ and SO₄²⁻

Net ionic equation

Cu²⁺(aq)+S²⁻(aq)⇒CuS(s)
