An empirical formula is the "reduced" version of a molecular formula. For example, CH3 is the empirical formula for C2H6, C3H9, C4H12, and so forth. The difference in subscripts between an empirical formula and molecular formula is given by the constant n. If n is a whole number, this means the numerator is the molecular formula. So the answer is D. <span>subscript of C in molecular formula = n  subscript of C in empirical formula. This can be rewritten as:

n = subscript of C in molecular formula/subscript of C in empirical formula</span>

Which of the following pairs of aqueous solutions will form a precipitate when mixed?
wolverine [178]
 I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The reactants calcium sulfide and sodium sulfate will react and form a precipitate which is calcium sulfate since it is only slightly soluble in aqueous solution. Hope this answers the question.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer: The net change in the atoms is the conversion of a neutron to a proton, turning Carbon (6 protons) into Nitrogen (7 protons).

Explanation:

Carbon-14, generated from the atmosphere, has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. That's where the 14 comes from, called the mass number, is the sum of protons and neutrons (6+8=14).

Carbon-14 is radioactive and decays by beta decay. That means one of its neutrons spontaneously turns into a proton, an electron, and a neutrino, according to:

^{14} C \rightarrow\ ^{14} N\ +\ e^-  +\ neutrino

After that, the atom has 7 protons and 7 neutrons, maintaining its mass number but changing its atomic number from 6 to 7, turning into Nitrogen.

Answer:

b) sharpening a pencil

Explanation:

If you melt lead, boil water, or dissolve sugar in water, you can return all of them back to their original state. If you sharpen a pencil, you can't reattach the shavings as they were originally.
