KI (s)  ----\ \textgreater \     K(s)  + I_2 (g)

Now, balance the equation:

2KI (s)  ----\ \textgreater \     2K(s)  + I_2 (g)

I_2 in gaseous state exist as a diatomic molecule.

An oxide of nitrogen is 25.9% N by mass, has a molar mass of 108 g/mol, and contains no nitrogen-nitrogen or oxygen-oxygen bonds
Sonja [21]

Answer:

The compound is N2O4

Explanation:

We have certain important pieces of information about the compound;

1) it is an oxide (a binary compound of nitrogen and oxygen)

2) there are no N-N bonds present

3) there are no O-O bonds present

Since it contains only nitrogen and oxygen then nitrogen accounts for 25.9% of the molecule by mass then oxygen should account for (100-25.9) = 74.1% oxygen

Relative atomic mass of oxygen = 16

Relative atomic mass of nitrogen = 14

We now deduce the empirical formula

Nitrogen. Oxygen

25.9/14. 74.1/16

1.85/1.85. 4.6/1.85 (divide through by the lowest ratio)

1 2

Empirical formula is NO2

To find the molecular formula

(NO2)n = 108

(14+2(16))n= 108

46n=108

n= 108/46

n= 2

Therefore molecular formula= N2O4

45.5 g of ice is heated from -25 degrees celsius to 150 degrees celcius. Calculate the total amount of heat required for the ent
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Q = 16163.88 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial temperature, T1 = -25°C

Final temperature, T2 = 150°C

Mass = 45.5 g

Specific heat capacity of ice = 2.03 J/g°C

To find the quantity of heat required;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 150 - (-25)

dt = 150 + 25

dt = 175°C

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Q = 45.5 * 2.03 * 175

Q = 16163.88 Joules

Ionic formula for ethanoate ion
statuscvo [17]

Nomenclature and common formula. When part of a salt, the formula of the acetate ion is written as CH3CO2−, C2H3O2−, or CH3COO−. Chemists abbreviate acetate as OAc− or, less commonly, AcO−. Thus, HOAc is the abbreviation for acetic acid, NaOAc for sodium acetate, and EtOAc for ethyl acetate.

Label A is showing___ frequency waves, and label B is showing ___ frequency waves
igomit [66]

It's not really possible to tell longitudinal vs. transverse in this image as given. However, we can say that the waves labeled A are high-frequency (short wavelengths) while the waves labeled B are low-frequency (long wavelengths). So, this third answer choice would be correct here.
