MgThe  empirical  formula   is  calculated as follows
fin the  moles of each  element
moles =  %  composition/ molar mass

magnesium(Mg) =  72.2/24 = 3moles
Nitrogen(N) = 27.8/14  = 1.986 moles

find the  moles  ration by  dividing each mole  by the smallest mole ( 1.986 moles)

that is 

magnesium)Mg)  = 3/1.986 =  1.5
Nitrogen (N)=  1.986/1.986 =1
multiply  both  the mole  ratio to remove the decimal

magnesium (Mg) = 1.5 x2 = 3
nitrogen (N)= 1 x2 =2

therefore  the empirical formula = Mg3N2

Helium has a density of 1.79 x 10-4 g/mL at standard temperature and pressure. A balloon has a volume of 6.3 liters. Calculate t
sukhopar [10]
To find the mass you divide multiply volume and density..

Density = 1.79 x 10^-4     Volume = 6.3

(1.79 x 10^-4 )(6.3) =  <span>1.1 x 10^-3 g

Four oranges were placed in a series circuit. Approximately what voltage did this produce?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Four times the original amount if only one orange was used

Explanation:

We can assume that the oranges all have equal voltages. Connecting them in series will have an increasing effect on the voltage delivered. In our case, this will produce 4 times the voltage of the circuit when only one orange is used.

Whenever simple cells are connected in series, the voltages of the individual cells are added up to form the voltage of the whole circuit.

Let us assume that the voltage of each of the oranges is approximately 0.9 volts. The Voltage produced when the 4 oranges are joined in series is 0.9 + 0.9 + 0.9 + 0.9 = 3.6 volts
