When determining the formula for a compound, it is important to know the valence numbers of each element. Suppose you want to wr

ite a formula for a compound with these two elements: Element A = valence 3 Element B = valence 2 In the formula, what number will be the subscript for Element B?

Damm [24]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

The valency of the element is the measure of the combining power of the element with the other atoms when the element forms compounds or molecules.

<u>Thus, valency has to known to find the how the elements have been combined and how many electrons have been lost, gain or shared.</u>

Given that:

Element A has 3 valence electrons and element B has 2 valence electrons. To find the ionic compound, the valency of the cations and the anions are interchanged and are written in subscripts. Thus,

A        B

3          2

Cross multiplying, we get the formula : A_2B_3

<u>Hence, 3 is the subscript for Element B.</u>

When hno2 dissociates in water, which atom is dontaing electrons, allowing water to act as a lewis base?
miss Akunina [59]

Answer to this is O-atom.

Explanation: The Bronsted acid-base theory is the backbone of chemistry. This theory focuses mainly on acids and bases acting as proton donors or proton acceptors.

A^+ + B^- \rightarrow A-B

where A^+ is the Lewis Acid and B^- is the Lewis Base and A-B is the Covalent Bond.

Reaction of dissociation of HNO2 in H_2O is given as:

HNO_2 + H_2O \rightarrow H_3O^+ + NO_2^-

In this reaction O-atom has lone pair in water and therefore it accepts the proton from HNO_2 forming a Lewis Base.

Constance has an apple that weighs 85,000 milligrams and a peach that weighs 0.15 kilograms. which fruit has the greater mass? c
Rama09 [41]

The fruit which has the greater mass is peach i.e. 150 grams.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass is a quantity which is used to define that what amount of substance will occupy any space or present in the given object.

We have given,

Weight of apples = 85,000 mg

Weight of peach = 0.15 kg

To compare the quantity first we have to convert both of these units in the same unit, and we know that:

In 1 kilogram = 1000 grams

And in 1 grams = 1000 milligrams

So, we convert both the units into grams as:

85,000 mg =  85,000 / 1000 = 85 grams

0.15 kg = 150 grams

So, the mass of peach is high.

Hence, peach has the greater mass.

An element consists of two isotopes. One with a mass of 79.95 amu and an abundance of 29.9%. The second isotope has a mass of 81
galina1969 [7]

 the molar  mass of the element  is  81.36 g/mol

<u><em>calculation</em></u>

step 1 : multiply  each %abundance  of the isotope  by   its mass  number

that is 79.95 x 29.9 =2391

           81.95 x 70.1  = 5745

Step 2: add them together

2390.5 + 5744.7 =8136

Step 3: divide by 100

= 8136/100 = 81.36  g/mol

A 1.50-kilogram ball is attached to the end of a 0.520-meter string and swung in a circle. The velocity of the ball is 9.78 m/s.
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

F centripetal force (tension) = 275.9  N

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass = 1.50 kg

Radius = 0.520 m

Velocity of ball = 9.78 m/s

Tension = ?

Solution:

F centripetal force (tension) =  m.v² / R

F centripetal force (tension) = 1.50 kg . (9.78 m/s)² / 0.520 m

F centripetal force (tension) = 1.50 kg . 95.65 m²/s² / 0.520 m

F centripetal force (tension) = 143.5 kg. m²/s² / 0.520 m

F centripetal force (tension) = 275.9  N
