Answer: Empirical formula is NO_2 and molecular formula is N_2O_4

Explanation: To find the empirical and molecular formula, we follow few steps:

<u>Step 1: </u>Converting mass percent into mass

We are given the percentage of elements by mass. So, the total mass take will be 100 grams.

Therefore, mass of nitrogen = \frac{30.46}{100}\times 100g=30.46g

Similarly, mass of oxygen = \frac{69.54}{100}\times 100g=69.54

<u>Step 2:</u> Converting the masses into their respective moles

We use the formula:

Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Molar mass of Nitrogen = 14 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

Moles of nitrogen = \frac{30.46g}{14g/mol}=2.18moles

Moles of oxygen = \frac{69.54g}{16g/mol}=4.35mol

<u>Step 3: </u>Getting the mole ratio of nitrogen and oxygen by dividing the calculated moles by the lowest mole value.

Mole ratio of nitrogen = \frac{2.18}{2.18}=1

Mole ratio of oxyegn = \frac{4.35}{2.18}=1.99\approx 2

<u>Step 4: </u>The mole ratio of elements are represented as the subscripts in a empirical formula, we get

Empirical formula = N_1O_2=NO_2

<u>Step 5: </u>For molecular formula, we divide the molar mass of the compound by the empirical molar mass.

Empirical molar mass of NO_2=(14\times 1)+(16\times 2)g/mol

Empirical molar mass = 46 g/mol

Molar mass of the compound = 92 g/mol

n=\frac{\text{Molar mass}}{\text{Empirical molar mass}}

n=\frac{92g/mol}{46g/mol}=2

Now, multiplying each of the subscript of empirical formula by 'n', we get

Molecular formula = N_2O_4

What is the predicted change in the boiling point of water when 1.50 g of
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

0.00735°C

Explanation:

By seeing the question, we can see the elevation in boiling point with addition of BaCl₂ in water

⠀

\textsf {While} \:  \sf  {\Delta T_b}  \: \textsf{expression is used} \\  \textsf {for elevation of boiling point}

⠀

⠀

<u>The</u><u> </u><u>elevation</u><u> </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>boiling</u><u> </u><u>point</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>a</u><u> </u><u>phenomenon</u><u> </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>which</u><u> </u><u>there</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>increase</u><u> </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>boiling</u><u> </u><u>point</u><u> </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>solution</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>when</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>particular</u><u> </u><u>type</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>solute</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>added</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> </u><u>pure</u><u> </u><u>solvent</u><u>.</u>

⠀

⠀

\sf  \large \underline{The \:  formula \: to \:  be  \: used \:  in \:  this \:  question \:  is}  \\   \boxed{T_b = i \times  K_b \times  m}

⠀

⠀

Where 'i' is van't hoff factor which represents the ratio of observed osmotic pressure and the value to be expected.

and 'i' is 3 (as given in the question)

⠀

'Kb' is molal boiling point constant. And it's value is 0.51°C/mol(given in question)

⠀

'm' represent the molality of solution. Molatity is no. of moles of solution present in 1kg of solution.

⠀

⠀

<u>To</u><u> </u><u>find</u><u> </u><u>molality</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>we</u><u> </u><u>have</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> </u><u>divide</u><u> </u><u>no</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>moles</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>solute</u><u> </u><u>by</u><u> </u><u>weight</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>solution</u>

⠀

While first we need to no. of moles

\sf \implies no. \: of \: moles =  \frac{weight \: of \: solute}{molar \: mass \: of \: solute}  \\  \\ \implies \sf no. \: of \: moles =  \frac{1.5}{208.23}  \\  \\  \sf \implies  no. \: of \: moles = 0.0072

⠀

⠀

<u>Now</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>we</u><u> </u><u>will</u><u> </u><u>find</u><u> </u><u>molality</u>

⠀

\sf  \hookrightarrow molality =  \frac{no.\: of \: moles}{weight \: of \: solution}  \\  \\  \sf  \hookrightarrow molality =  \frac{0.072}{1.5}  \\  \\  \sf  \hookrightarrow molality = 0.048 \: mol {kg}^{ - 1}

⠀

⠀

\textsf{ \large{ \underline{Now substituting the required values}}}

⠀

\sf \longmapsto \Delta T_b = 3  \times 0.51  \times 0.0048 \\  \\ \\     \boxed{ \tt{ \longmapsto \Delta T_b =0.00735{ \degree}C}}

⠀

⠀

⠀

<u>Henceforth</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>change</u><u> </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>boiling</u><u> </u><u>point</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>0</u><u>.</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u>7</u><u>3</u><u>5</u><u>°</u><u>C</u><u>.</u>

Which antibody does the body release when it identifies a bacterium or virus?
dlinn [17]

Explanation:

Immunoglobulin M is the first antibody produced on initial exposure to an antigen. It is also known as IgM.

It occurs as a primary response to the antigens against a particular baterium or virus. It is pentavalent in nature and has ten binding sites for antigens.

Therefore, it is concluded that when the body identifies a bacterium or a virus, it releases the antibody IgM.
