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

R is the midpoint of FG.<br><br> FR = 26 find RG
vichka [17]

Answer:

52

Explanation:

This is because if R is the midpoint of FRG, FR is half of FRG, so basically all you do it multiply by 2 to get the FRG

A 10.50 gram sample of a compound is decomposed to yield 3.40 g Na, 2.37 g S, and 4.73 g O. What is the mass percentage of each
9966 [12]

Answer:

Na = 32.4% , % S = 22.6% and %O = 45.0%

Explanation:

% Na = 3.4/10.5. × 100%

= 32.4%

%S = 2.37/10.5 × 100%

= 22.6%

% O= 4.73/10.5 × 100%

= 45.0%xplanation:

What role do hydrogen ions play in the electron transport chain high?
jeka94
They are pumped across the mitochondrial inner membrane against their concentration gradient (to where their concentration is high); as the H+ ions flow back to where their concentration is low, they drive ATP synthase to form ATP
