Empirical   formula  is  calculated   as  follows

calculate  the  moles  of  each  element,  that  is   %  composition/  molar  mass
molar  masses  (  Si=  28.09g/mol ,  Cl=  35.5  g/mol,  I=126.9 g/mol)

moles  of  silicon =  7.962/28.09g/mol=  0.283  moles
moles  of  chlorine =  20.10 / 35.5g/mol =  0.566  moles
moles  of  iodine=  71.94 / 126.9  g/mol=  0.567  moles

divide  each  mole   with  smallest    mole  (0.283)
that  is    silicon =  0.283/0.283= 1 mole
             chlorine =  0.566/0.283=  2 mole
            Iodine=  o.567/0.283= 2  moles
empirical  formula  is  therefore=  SiCl2I2

By mistake, you added salt instead of sugar to the oil. How can you remove the salt?
shutvik [7]

Answer,

Add water to dissolve the salt solution.Shake the solution,oil and water are immiscible liquids therefore oil will not dissolve.Put the solution in a separating funnel and leave the solution undisturbed for a few minutes.Water is denser than oil there oil will come to the top.Power the lower layer of water in to a beaker.Boil the water until water turns into vapour leaving the salt behind.

What is the net charge of a nitrogen atom with 8 electrons
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

– 1

Explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained the following:

Electron = 8

Net charge of nitrogen =.?

Nitrogen has atomic number of 7. This also means that nitrogen has 7 proton because atomic number of an element is the equal to number of protons in the atom of the element.

Thus, we can obtain the net charge of nitrogen with 8 electrons by calculating the difference between the protons and electrons of the nitrogen atom. This can be obtained as follow:

Proton = 7

Electron = 8

Net charge = Proton – Electron

Net charge = 7 – 8

Net charge = – 1

Therefore, the net charge of the nitrogen atom with 8 electrons is – 1
