Atomic Number definition: The number of protons within the nucleus of x atom.

Atomic Mass definition: The number of protons and/+ neutrons within the nucleus of x atom. 

The given information states that the element has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in its nuclei with 8 electrons revolving around it. If the atomic number is 'the number of protons' and we have 8 given protons, our answer would be 8.  If the atomic mass is protons + neutrons and we have 8 protons and neutrons, our answer for atomic mass would inevitably be 16. 

Therefore

Atomic number: 8

Atomic mass: 16

A sample of a compound contains 3.21 g of sulfur and 11.4 g of fluorine. Which of the following represents the empirical formula
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The empirical formula is SF6 (option E)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sulfur = 3.21 grams

Mass of fluorine = 11.4 grams

Molar mass sulfur = 32.065 g/mol

Molar mass fluorine = 19.00 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass /molar mass

Moles sulfur = 3.21 grams / 32.065 g/mol

Moles sulfur = 0.100 moles

Moles fluorine = 11.4 grams / 19.00 g/mol

Moles fluorine = 0.600 moles

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

S: 0.100 / 0.100 = 1

F : 0.600 / 0.100 = 6

The empirical formula is SF6 (option E)

Secretary of State John Hay sent his Open Door
VikaD [51]
Secretary of State John Hay sent his Open Door Notes (1899-1900) to world powers to protect United States trading interests in China. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is option "3". These notes were mainly in regards to providing equal opportunity for trades in China and also respecting China's sovereignty, territorial integrity and administration. The principles of operating in China was the same for the British as well as for the United States, but John Hay was the first person to give it a written form. After this the official policy of the United States was based on the written document during the first half of the 20th century.

Bond length is the distance between the centers of two bonded atoms. On the potential energy curve, the bond length is the inter
mariarad [96]

Answer:

152 pm

Explanation:

According to the question, we can estimate the bond length from the given values of the atomic radii. This now is the upper limit of the bond length for the molecule.

Since we have that;

Atomic radius of H= 37.0 pm

Atomic radius of Br = 115.0 pm

Bond length = Atomic radius of H + Atomic radius of Br

Bond length = 37.0 pm + 115.0 pm

Bond length = 152 pm

What effect would the incomplete drying of a sample (for example, the incomplete removal of a re-crystallization solvent) on per
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

It will lead to overestimation of the percent recovery

Explanation:

The percent recovery refers to the percentage of the pure compound recovered after a chemical process. It is a ratio of the pure compound recovered to the original substance multiplied by 100%.

If the sample was incompletely dried and the recrystallization solvent is still present, the percent recovery will be overestimated and we will have a value that is greater than the accurate percent recovery due to solvent impurities present.
