Explanation: The Law of Impenetrability says that two objects can't occupy the same space at the same time; therefore, the pennies and the water can't occupy the same space at the same time. Without the pennies the water level read 20.6 mL, dropping in the pennies gives a level of 26.0.

What is the empirical formula for a compound that contains 10.89% magnesium 31.77% chloride and 57.34% oxygen

Blizzard [7]

Answer: $Mg_{1}Cl_{2}O_{8}$

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of Mg = 10.89 g

Mass of Cl = 31.77 g

Mass of O = 57.34 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of Mg= $\frac {\text{ given mass of Mg}}{\text{ molar mass of Mg}}= \frac {10.89g}{24g/mole}=0.45moles$

Moles of Cl = $\frac {\text{ given mass of Cl}}{\text{ molar mass of Cl}}= \frac {31.77g}{35.5g/mole}=0.89moles$

Moles of O = $\frac {\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}=\frac {57.34g}{16g/mole}=3.58moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Mg = $\frac {0.45}{0.45}=1$

For Cl = $\frac {0.89}{0.45}=2$

For O= $\frac {3.58}{0.45}=8$

The ratio of Mg :Cl : O= 1 : 2 : 8

Hence the empirical formula is $Mg_{1}Cl_{2}O_{8}$

Perform the following

Marianna [84]

Answer:

167.980.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since additions involving the display of the result with the appropriate number of significant figures involve the solution of the system without looking at them:

$156.325 +11.65498 =167.97998$

Considering that 156.325 is significant to the thousandths and 11.65498 to the hundred thousandths, we infer that the result should be taken to the thousandths as well as 156.325; thus, we obtain:

$167.980$

Because the second decimal nine is rounded to ten and therefore the 7 is taken to 8.

Best regards!

madam [21]

Good Morning!

reactants

Substances that make up a chemical reaction, in order to be combined or separated, are called reagents. These reagents can be of the most varied types and origins. The result of this reaction is called a "product."
