1) divide each percentage by the relative atomic mass of the element

2) divide all results by the smallest number

3)multiply by a whole number to get the simplest whole number ratio (if necessary)

that is to say:

Na                                   S                            O

32.37÷23                 22.58÷32                45.05÷16

= 1.407                       = 0.7056               = 2.816       (to 4 significant figures)

the smallest number here is 0.7056 so:

1.407÷0.7056        0.7056÷0.7056       2.816÷0.7056

=1.99 approx.2                   = 1                   3.99 approx. 4

here there is no need to carry out step 3 as ratio obtained is already a simplest whole number  ratio

so empirical formula is: Na₂SO₄

What is the relationship between mass and gravity
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.

Identify the species oxidized, the species reduced, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the following electron transfe
babunello [35]

Answer:

Oxidized and reducing agent: manganese.

Reduced and oxidizing agent: mercury.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the reaction:

Hg^{2+}(aq) + Mn^0(s)\rightarrow Hg(s) + Mn^{2+}(aq)

We keep in mind that the species that increase the oxidation state is the oxidized one whereas the one that decrease the oxidation state is the reduced one; therefore manganese is the oxidized one as well as the reducing agent because it goes from 0 to +2 and mercury the reduced one as well as the oxidizing agent because it goes from 2+ to 0.
