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

2CO(g)+O2 (g) =2CO2(g)
Ronch [10]

Answer:

6.76 moles.

Explanation:

2CO(g)+O2 (g) =2CO2(g)

When 2 CO mols were reacted with excess O2 then 2 mols of CO2 is created.

Therefore if 6.76 moles reacted, same number of CO2 will be created.

Argon gas has a boiling point of -197 °C. Which of the following diagrams best represents the
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

(a)

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the temperature required to boil argon, it means, transform it from liquid to gas is -197 °C. In such a way, since the temperature inside the steel sphere is -190 °C, which is greater than the boiling point, we realize argon is gaseous, therefore, the molecules will be spread inside the sphere as they will be moving based on the kinetic theory of gases.

For that reason, answer is scheme (a).

Best regards.

How do the metals in group 1 compare with the transition metals?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Group 1 metals and transition metals are different from each other, mainly based on the colour of the chemical compounds that they form. The key difference between group 1 metals and transition metals is that the group 1 metals form colourless compounds, whereas the transition metals form colourful compounds.

guajiro [1.7K]
<span>Raising the temperature of the reactants increases the reaction between the reactants. The kinetic energy of the molecules of the reactants collides more frequently with ach other thereby increasing its reaction. Increasing the concentration of the reactants increases the reaction rate. Adding a catalyst to the reaction increases the rate of reaction of a substance. The catalyst hastens the chemical reaction. </span>
