Answer: Water

Explanation: Compound is a substance which is formed by the linkage of different or same kind of atoms.

It is absically composed of two or more elements.

Thus out of the given options, sand is composed of Silica (Si) , gold (Au) is the single element, Iodine (I2) is an diatomic element itself.

Water is made up of 2 moles of hydroge and one mole of oxygen. Thus it will be considered as a compound.

Why is studying light and electrons important for chemistry and understanding the universe?

Brut [27]

Explanation :

The study of light and electrons are important for chemistry & universe.

As we know, everything is made up of particles even light & universe also. The particles are made of atoms and that atoms are made up of electrons, protons & neutrons.

An electron is one of the most important type of subatomic particles. Electrons combine with the proton to form atom. These electrons, protons & neutrons play a vital role in chemistry and universe.

The importance of an electron is that when two atoms react with each other or approach each other, their outermost shells come into contact first and these outermost shells electrons are involved in the chemical reaction.

Also important for chemical reactions, creating bonds, for electricity and the understanding of electrons has allowed for the better understanding of some forces which are in our universe such as electromagnetic force.

We know that the light is act as particle nature and it is a part of universe. As we know that chemists are only responsible for the chemical's study. Chemists cannot study the whole universe that is why they study light and the light is important because nothing would be able to survive.

The studying of light is important for the photoelectric effect, absorption, bio-molecules synthesis, vitamin D synthesis, vision, colors, drying & evaporation, sterilization, solar energy, spectroscopy, signal system and also for electron excitation.

A sample of a compound containing boron (B) and hydrogen (H) contains 5.443 g of B and 1.522 g of H. The molar mass of the compo

Svetach [21]

You are calculating the empirical formula of this chemical compound, which is the question with moles, molar mass, and number of moles.

first you divide the mass of BORON by its molar mass(relative formula mass)because there is a formula about moles state: number of moles=mass/molar mass.

So, 5.443/11 is about 0.5. Then, the RFM of H is 1, so the number of mole is 1.522/1=1.522.

Next, you get the number of moles in order is; 0.5 and 1.522. Now we need to look at the ratio between these numbers. 0.5 is smaller so we use it as the ratio of 1. next use 1.522/0.5 is 3.044 which has a greatest common factor of 3. so the empirical formula is BH3.

Now we are going to solve the molecular formula.

the molar mass ofthis compound is 30g, so we're going to find the RFM of the empirical formulsof BH3 first.

11+3=14.

now we see how many times 14 goes into 30. 30/14=2.14 which is about 2.

So now we need to times the subscript of the empirical formula by two.

thus, the molecular formula is B2H6.

To solve this kind of questions, there are many steps:Know what you are calculating about, it's about the molecular formula, so you need to find out the number of moles of each elements. then use the molar mass of the whole compound to calculate the molecular formula.

1) Find the RFM of the element, because that is the molar mass(mass of 1 mole) of this element.

2) number of moles= mass/molar mass. use this formula to help you get the number of moles of each element in this compound

3) look at the relationship between the number of moles of each elements. find out the ratio between them.

4) then use the molarmass of the whole compound to find the molecular formula. molar mass of the whole compound/RFM(molar mass) of the empirical formula of elements= the number you need to multiply by the subscript of the empirical formula to get the molecular formula.

please tell me if i got anything wrong;)
