Answer:
Explanation:
Part two of Dalton's theory had to be modified after mass spectrometry experiments demonstrated that atoms of the same element can have different masses because the number of neutrons can vary for different isotopes of the same element. ... Scientists have even developed the technology to see the world on an atomic level!
hoped i helped you :)
<span>Avogadro's number
represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value
of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of
atoms or molecules into number of moles. We do as follows:
0.24 g (1 mol / 342.3 g) (
6.022 x 10^23 molecules / 1 mol ) =4.222 x 10^20 molecules

The empirical and molecular formula : Mg₃Si₂H₂O₈ and Mg₆Si₄H₄O₁₆
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
28.03% Mg, 21.60% Si, 1.16% H, and 49.21% O
Required
The empirical and molecular formula
Solution
Mol ratio : Mg : Si : H : O =

So empirical formula :

(Emprical formula)n=molecular formula
(Mg₃Si₂H₂O₈)n=520.8
(24.3+28.2+2.1+8.16)n=520.8
(258)n=520.8⇒n=2
The molecular formula : Mg₆Si₄H₄O₁₆
Look at the periodic table (Boron has 3) and count up from there
