If this compounds (N2O) molecular mass is 88g are the empirical and molecular formulas the same as one another or different

Chemistry

Softa [21]3 years ago

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Let us examine this problem carefully:

Given compound is N₂O

Molecular mass = 88g

Now,

The empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound.

The molecular formula is the true formula of the compound that shows that actual ratios of the atoms in a compound.

To find if they both have the same molecular and empirical formula, they must have the same molecular mass.

 For N₂O;

     Molecular mass = 2(14) + 16 = 44g/mole

But the true and given molecular formula of the compound is 88g/mole

This shows that the compound given is the empirical formula of the compound.

  Molecular formula:

              molecular mass of empirical formula x n = molecular mass of molecular formula

         n  = \frac{88}{44}  = 2

Molecular formula of compound = 2(N₂O) = N₄O₂

Therefore the empirical and molecular formulas are not the same

If you knew the number of valence electrons in a nonmetal atom how would you determine the valence of the element. (Ignore hydro
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity

Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago

Explanation:

All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.

Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)

For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1

Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.

Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.

For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.

A compound is found to contain 50. 05% sulfur and 49. 95% oxygen by mass. What is the empirical formula for this compound? SO S2
jekas [21]

The empirical formula for the given compound has been \rm SO_2. Thus, option C is correct.

The empirical formula has been the whole unit ratio of the elements in the formula unit.

<h3>Computation for the Empirical formula</h3>

The given mass of Sulfur has been, 50.05 g

The given mass of oxygen has been 49.95 g.

The moles of elements in the sample has been given by:

\rm Moles=\dfrac{Mass}{Molar\;mass}

  • Moles of Sulfur:

\rm Moles\;S=\dfrac{50.05}{32}\\&#10; Moles\;S=1.56\;mol

The moles of sulfur in the unit has been 1.56 mol.

  • Moles of Oxygen:

\rm Moles\;O=\dfrac{49.95}{16} \\&#10;Moles\;O=3.12\;mol

The moles of oxygen in the unit has been 3.12 mol.

The empirical formula unit has been given as:

\rm S_{1.56}O_{3.12}=SO_2

Thus, the empirical formula for the given compound has been \rm SO_2. Thus, option C is correct.

Write a 125 word summary of what you have learned in "Introducing the Microscope". Be sure to include steps on how to focus, how
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Introduction to Basic Microscopy. Microscopes are specialized optical instruments designed to produce magnified visual or photographic (including digital) images of objects or specimens that are too small to be seen with the naked eye.

Microscope are the important tools which are used by scientist. For example, in material science, medicine, mineralogy and microbiology.

Light microscope is able to send light. Light is being focused in a tight breath whereby that light passes through a sample which later it is able to create an image. This image passes to different lenses which magnifies it until it reaches the camera.

There are different types of microscope for example, Compound light microscope, Simple light microscope, and monocular microscope.

In simple light microscope only one lens which which is being used to magnify an object and it is not able to reach to a higher magnification.

In compound light microscope it uses two lenses to produce image. For example eyepiece lens and objective lens.
