Assume you have 100 g of the compound so you have 87.5 g N and 12.5 H and divide by their molar masses.

87.5 g N / <span>14.0067</span> g (molar mass) = ~6.25 moles

12.5 g H / 1.008 = ~2.4 moles

Empirical Formula = N6H12

Please Explain. Why does salt water boil at a lower temperature than tap water?
nexus9112 [7]
We observe that heat capacity of salted water we will find that it is less than pure water. We now that it takes less energy to increase the temperature of the salt water 1°C than pure water. Which means that the salted water heats up faster and eventually reaches to its boiling point first.

A single penny has a mass of 2.5 g. Abbie and James each measure the mass of a penny multiple times. Which statement about these
const2013 [10]
The question is missing the data sets.

This is the complete question:

A single penny has a mass of 2.5 g. Abbie and James each measure the mass of a penny multiple times. Which statement about these data sets is true? 

O Abbie's measurements are both more accurate and more precise than James'.

O Abbie's measurements are more accurate, but less precise, than James'. 

O Abbie's measurements are more precise, but less accurate, than James'. 

O Abbie’s measurements are both less accurate and less precise than James'. 

Penny masses (g)

Abbie’s data                                        

2.5, 2.4, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.6 

James’ data


2.4, 3.0, 3.3, 2.2, 2.9, 3.8, 2.9

Answer: first option, Abbie's measurements are both more accurate and more precise than James'.

Explanation:


1) To answer this question, you first must understand the difference between precision and accuracy.

<span>Accuracy is how close the data are to the true or accepted value.
</span>

<span>Precision is how close are the data among them, this is the reproducibility of the values.</span>

Then, you can measure the accuracy by comparing the means (averages) with the actual mass of a penny 2.5 g.

And you measure the precision by comparing a measure of spread, as it can be the standard deviation.

2) These are the calculations:

Abbie’s data                      
                 
Average: ∑ of the values / number of values 

Average = [2.5 + 2.4 + 2.3 + 2.4 + 2.5 + 2.6 + 2.6 ] / 7 = 2.47 ≈ 2.5

Standard deviation: √  [ ∑ (x - mean)² / (n - 1) ] = 0.11


James’ data


Average = [2.4 + 3.0 + 3.3 + 2.2 + 2.9 + 3.8 + 2.9] / 7 = 2.56 ≈ 2.6


Standard deviation = 0.53

3) Conclusions:

1) The average of Abbie's data are closer to the accepted value 2.5g, so they are more accurate.

2) The standard deviation of Abbie's data is smaller than that of Jame's data, so the Abbie's data are more precise.

PLEASE HELP I HAVE LIMITED TIME!!
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Si tomamos en cuenta el peso molecular del agua, que es equivalente a:

1 Átomo de H₂O

O = 16 gr/mol

H = 1 gr/mol

H₂O = 18 gr/mol

Teóricamente sabemos que en 1 mol de H2O habrá 18 gr.

 

Para obtener los moles presentes en 1 mg de H₂O, (como 1 gr = 1000 mg), decimos:

1 mol H2O …………………………..  18000 mg

       X          ……………………………   1 mg

X = 1 / 18000 = 5,56 X 10⁻⁵ moles de H20

 

Y para obtener la cantidad de moléculas presentes, de acuerdo a los moles, multiplicamos por el número de Avogadro (6,023 X 10²³ moléculas /mol)

Moléculas de H₂O = 5,56x 10⁻⁵ mol x 6,023 x 10²³

Moléculas de H₂O = 3,34488 x10¹⁹ moléculas de H₂O

En el copo de nieve habrá 3,34488 x 10¹⁹ moléculas de H₂O.

Espero que te sirva =)

Why is scientific notation important in chemistry?
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Calculations in chemistry can range from large numbers to the smallest number in decimals to be more accurate in data results. When this occurs using scientific notations allows you to note down results regardless of size as accurate as possible without writing a lot of numbers.
