We are already given with the mass of the Xe and it is 5.08 g. We can calculate for the mass of the fluorine in the compound by subtracting the mass of xenon from the mass of the compound.

  mass of Xenon (Xe) = 5.08 g
  mass of Fluorine (F) = 9.49 g - 5.08 g = 4.41 g

Determine the number of moles of each of the element in the compound. 
    moles of Xenon (Xe) = (5.08 g)(1 mol Xe / 131.29 g of Xe) = 0.0387 mols of Xe
   moles of Fluorine (F) = (4.41 g)(1 mol F/ 19 g of F) = 0.232 mols of F

The empirical formula is therefore,
      Xe(0.0387)F(0.232)
Dividing the numerical coefficient by the lesser number.
<em>     XeF₆</em>

A4 kg object is being pulled to the east by a 6 N force. What is the object's<br> acceleration?
Dahasolnce [82]

1.5 ms⁻²

Explanation:

We understand that Force is also given as mass * acceleration;

F = Ma

If force is 6N and the mass is 4kg of the object, the a can be evaluated as follows;

6 = 4a

6/4 = a

1.5 = a

= 1.5m/s²

What best describes why hair gel is considered a noncrystalline solid?
ad-work [718]

Given what we know, we can confirm that hair gel is considered a noncrystalline solid due to Atoms in the hair gel having no particular order or pattern.

<h3>What is a noncrystalline solid?</h3>
  • This is a solid whose atoms are amorphous.
  • What this means is that the atoms lack a specific order like most solids.
  • The most common example of this is glass.

Therefore, given the definition of a noncrystalline solid as a solid whose atoms lack a specified order, we can confirm that the second option which states that "Atoms in the hair gel having no particular order or pattern" is correct.

Enzymes in the small intestine break down proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. These enzymes are named after the substrate they
svetoff [14.1K]

The enzymes and their respective substrates are as follows:

  • Protease enzymes such as trypsin and chymotrypsin break down proteins
  • Carbohydrate enzymes such amylase and maltase break down carbohydrates
  • Lipase enzyme breaks down lipids.

In the small intestine, a protease enzyme known as chymotrypsin breaks down protein, pancreatic amylase breaks down carbohydrates, while pancreatic lipase breaks down lipids.
