Answer:

Empirical formula: NbO_2

Explanation:

  • One oxide ion in the middle of each edge => cubes have 12 edges => O=12
  • One niobium atom at the center of each face => cubes have 6 faces => Nb=6

Cell formula: Nb_6O_{12}

Empirical formula: NbO_2

<em>This formula corresponds to a niobium valence of +4 </em>

How many moles of iron in a sample that contains 7.91×10^23 atoms of iron?
vazorg [7]

Answer: 1.31

Explanation:  

No.of moles = given no.of atoms/Avagadro number

= 7.91×10^23 / 6.022 x 10^23

= 1.31

therefore, no.of moles = 1.31

Hope it helped u,

pls mark as the brainliest

slader An experiment is carried out where 13.9 g of solid NaOH is dissolved in 250.0 g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter. Dis
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The mass of the surrounding is M_t = 263.9 \ g

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The mass of  NaOH is  m = 13.9 \ g

      The mass of water is m_w = 250.0g

      The chemical equation for the dissociation process is

       NaOH _{(s) } ---> Na^{+}_{(aq)} + OH^{-} _{(aq)}

       The specific heat capacity of the mixture is c_p = 4.18 J g^{-1} C^{-1}

       

The combined mass of the solution is

         M_t = 13 + 250

         M_t = 263.9 \ g

The mass of the surround here is the mass of the coffee-cup calorimeter and this contain the mixture ( water and the NaOH ) so the mass of the surrounding is  

  M_t = 263.9 \ g

Explain why constructive and destructive forces are considered competing forces.
rodikova [14]
Used mainly in the context of Geography a Constructive force is involved in making new land while a Destructive force breaks the land. As they are carrying opposite functions to one another they are considered as competing forces.
