<span>Total mass = 2.75g Mass % of Mg = 1.0g x 100/2.75g = 36.36 % Mass % of O = 1.75g x 100/2.75g = 63.64 % Mol of Mg = 36.36/24 = 1.515 Mol of O = 63.64/16 = 3.977 Ratio of Mol of Mg and O in the substance = (1.515 : 3.977) x 2 = 3 : 8 The empirical formula of substance is Mg3O8</span>

Why is this flower able to self-pollinate
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

A flower is self-pollinated if pollen is transferred to it from any flower of the same plant and cross-pollinated if the pollen comes from a flower on a different plant.

Explanation:

This is because each flower is capable of fertilizing itself by autogamy. Autogamy means that the male part of a flower sends pollen to the female part of the same flower.

Which of the following is the best hypothesis?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

B.) If sodium carbonate is added to vinegar, the reaction will absorb heat.

Explanation:

A.) is incorrect because this is not testable. Rather, it is just an opinion that cannot be proven correct or incorrect.

B.) is correct because this statement is testable. Tests need to be run to determine the accuracy of the statement.

C.) is incorrect because this statement explains something that does not need to be tested. It is an example of a physical change when one tears a piece of paper.

D.) is incorrect because this is already a true statement. It is obvious that not all reactions absorb/release heat. While tests could be run to further prove this statement true, it is already considered accurate.

How many total orbitals are within the 3s, 3p, and<br> energy level?
Nina [5.8K]

The answer for the following question is explained below.

Therefore the total number of orbitals are " 9 ".

Explanation:

Orbital:

An orbital is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of an electron,electron pair,or the nucleons.

The total number of orbitals present in the 3rd energy level is 9.

Here,

A 3 s subshell has only one orbital.

A 3 p subshell has three orbitals.

A 3 d subshell has five orbitals.

Therefore the total number of orbitals is:

3 s = 1 orbital

3 p = 3 orbitals

3 d = 5 orbitals

total orbitals in 3rd energy level is = 1 + 3 + 5 =9

Therefore the total number of orbitals are " 9 ".
