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 are composites?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

By integrating two or even more materials whose properties are quite distinctive is composite materials. The different materials work together to build special properties for the composite, but within the composite one can easily tell the various materials apart that they don't dissolve or mix together.

It is also recognized as Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites, which are constructed from a polymer matrix strengthened with engineered, man-made or natural fiber like glass, steel or aramid or other strengthening material.

  • Their high dimensional consistency helps them to preserve their shape, be it hot or cold, wet or dry.
  • This renders them a common material for outdoor frameworks such as wind turbine blades.
  • These have less resistance to cracking than metals but more durability than most polymers.

Three different rocks that each weigh 50 grams are put out in the sunlight. After two hours, they are all at the same temperatur
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

All rocks have same thermal conductivity.

Explanation:

Rocks are heated with the sunlight exposure. Different types of rocks have different thermal conductivity. The heat energy of the rocks is measure in Joules. The size and thermal conductivity of the rocks is important property which determines their heating capacity.
