Empirical formula is the simplest formula showing the simplest ratio of atoms in a compound. Calculated as shown;
 we start by calculating the number of moles of each atom;
moles of nickel = 9.11 g ÷ 58.7 g = 0.155 moles 
moles of fluorine = 5.89 g ÷ 19 g = 0.31 moles
Then we get the ratio of the moles of nickel to that of flourine
 That is 0.155 : 0.31  (dividing by the smallest)
            0.155/0.155 : 0.31/0.155
we get 1:2  ( the simplest ratio)
Therefore the empirical formula is nif2

Dry ice, or solid cabon dioxide, has the molecular formula of CO2. How should you classify it?
Marina86 [1]
You  should classify it as  co2 solid as CO2(s) and that small left comes to the bottom right hand side and dry ice is a form of liquid carbon dioxide so u should write it as CO2(l) and that L comes to the bottom right hand sise

Determine the number of valence electrons in each of the following neutral atoms.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Fluorine = 7 v.e.

Sulfur = 6 v.e.

Oxygen = 6 v.e.

Nitrogen = 5 v.e.

Carbon = 4 v.e.

Explanation:

Valence electrons can be easily determined by understanding groups (columns). Every element in. . .

column 3A (13) = 3 v.e.

column 4A (14) = 4 v.e.

column 5A (15) = 5 v.e.

column 6A (16) = 6 v.e.

column 7A (17) = 7 v.e.

2. What's the kinetic energy of an object that has a mass of 12 kilograms and moves with a velocity of 10 m/s?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
<h2>Let us solve for it </h2>

Explanation:

Energy

It is ability to do work .

There are so many forms of energy .

out of which mechanical energy is also one of the form .

Mechanical energy

It is the energy possessed by the body by virtue of its motion and state .

It is of two types :

  • Kinetic energy
  • Potential energy

Kinetic energy

It is the energy possessed by the body by virtue of its motion .

Its expression is :

K.E=1/2mv²

Here in above question it is given that :

mass = 2Kg

V=10m/sec

K.E will be = 1/2 x 2 x 10 x 10

K.E=100 J
