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.

24g copper is submerged in water in a graduated cylinder, the total volume increases bu 2.7ml what is the density of copper
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

<h2>8.89 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question we have

density =  \frac{24}{2.7}  \\  = 8.88888...

We have the final answer as

<h3>8.89 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

You wish to make a 0.405 M hydrochloric acid solution from a stock solution of 3.00 M hydrochloric acid. How much concentrated a
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

We have to make 100 mL 0f .405M HCl from 3 M solution of HCl .

volume of 3M to be taken required . Let this volume be V litre .

V litre of 3M will contain 3 V moles of HCl .

moles contained by 100 mL of ,405 HCl = .405 x .1 = .0405 moles .

So 3V = .0405

V = .0405 / 3 litre

= .0405 x 1000 / 4 mL

= 10.125 mL

So we have to take 10.125 mL of 3M HCl and add water to them to make its volume 100 mL .

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)

What do chemical changes and physical changes have in common
masha68 [24]
"Physical changes occur when objects or substances undergo a change that does notchange their chemical composition. This contrasts with the concept of chemical change in which the composition of a substance changes or one or more substances combine or break up to form new substances."
