Answer:

The formula of the compound is:

N2H2

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question:

Nitrogen (N) = 93.28%

Hydrogen (H) = 6.72%

Next, we shall determine the empirical formula for the unknown compound. This is illustrated below:

N = 93.28%

H = 6.72%

Divide by their molar mass

N = 93.28 /14 = 6.663

H = 6.72 /1 = 6.7

Divide by the smallest

N = 6.663 / 6.663 = 1

H = 6.72 /6.663 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula is NH.

Now, we can obtain the formula of the compound as follow:

The formula of a compound is simply a multiple of the empirical formula.

[NH]n = 30.04

[14 + 1]n = 30.04

15n = 30.04

Divide both side by 15

n = 30.04/15

n = 2

Therefore, the formula of the compound is:

[NH]n => [NH]2 => N2H2

Magnesium has three naturally occurring isotopes(Mg-24, Mg-25, and Mg-26). The atomic mass and natural abundance of Mg-24 are 23
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Data

               Atomic mass               Abundance

Mg -24 =    23.9850                         79%

Mg -25 =    24.9858                         10%  

Mg - 26=          ?                                  ?

Process

1.- Find the abundance of Mg-26

The sum of the abundance of the three isotopes equals 100%

         

 Abundance Mg-24 + Abundance-Mg-25 + Abundance-26 = 100

            79 + 10 + Abundance-26 = 100

            Abundance Mg-26 = 100 -89

           Abundance Mg-26 = 11%

2.- Find the atomic mass of Mg-26, the average atomic mass is 24.31 amu

Average atomic mass = (abundance)(atomic mass- 24) + (abundance)

                                         (atomic mass-25) + (abundance)(atomic mass-26)

    24.31 = (0.79)(23.9850)+ (0.10)(24.9858) + (Atomic mass-26)(0.11)

    24.31 = 18.94815 + 2.4986 + 0.11(atomic mass-26)

    24.31 = 21.4342 + 0.11(atomic mass- 26)

    0.11(atomic mass-26) = 24.31 - 21.4342

    0.11(atomic mass-26) = 2.8758

    Atomic mass-26 = 2.8758/0.11

 <u>   Atomic mass-26 = 26.1436 amu</u>

What mass of Cu(s) is electroplated by running 24.5A of current through a Cu2+(aq)solution for 4.00 h?Express your answer to thr
Masja [62]

Answer: 116 g of copper

Explanation:

Q=I\times t

where Q= quantity of electricity in coloumbs

I = current in amperes = 24.5A

t= time in seconds =  4.00 hr = 4.00\times 3600s=14400s  (1hr=3600s)

Q=24.5A\times 14400s=352800C

Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu

2\times 96500C=193000C  of electricity deposits 63.5 g of copper.

352800 C of electricity deposits = \frac{63.5}{193000}\times 352800=116g of copper.

Thus 116 g of Cu(s) is electroplated by running 24.5A of current

Thus  remaining in solution = (0.1-0.003)=0.097moles

A 23.7 g piece of iron at 54.9°C is cooled and releases 338 J of heat. The specific heat of iron is 0.450 J/g°C.
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The heat capacity and the specific heat are related by C=cm or c=C/m. The mass m, specific heat c, change in temperature ΔT, and heat added (or subtracted) Q are related by the equation: Q=mcΔT. Values of specific heat are dependent on the properties and phase of a given substance.

Where is greatest amount of fresh water in the world found? A. wetlands B. rivers C. glaciers D. lakes
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

C. Glaciers

Explanation:

Over 68 percent of the fresh water on Earth is found in icecaps and glaciers, and just over 30 percent is found in ground water. Only about 0.3 percent of our fresh water is found in the surface water of lakes, rivers, and swamps.

Hope this helps!

All the love, Ya boi Fraser :)
