Answer:

Cl

Explanation:

⁴¹Ca has an atomic number equal to 20, it means that it has 20 protons and 20 electrons ad its neutral state. In the decay by electron capture, it will lose one electron and will become a cation, but the mass (41) and the atomic number will remain the same.

When Ca⁺ undergoes alpha decay, it will lose an alpha particle, which has mass 4 and 2 protons.

⁴¹₂₀Ca⁺ → ³⁷₁₈X⁺ + ⁴₂α

To be stable, X will lose a proton and will become ³⁷₁₇X. The element which has atomic number 17 is chlorine, Cl.

Calculate the number of molecules in a deep breath of air whose volume is 2.15 L at body temperature, 37 ∘C, and a pressure of 7
Zinaida [17]
PV = nRT 
R = 0.0821 L * atm / mol * K 
(ideal gas constant) 

First, convert 735 torr to atm. Divide by 760. 
(1 atm = 760 torr) 

735 torr * 1 atm / 760 torr = 0.967 atm 
Then, convert 37 C to Kelvin. Just add 273. 
37 C = 310K 

n = PV / RT 
= (0.967)(2.07) / (0.0821)(310) 
= 0.0786 mol

A compound is found to be 30.45% n and 69.55 % o by mass. if 1.63 g of this compound occupy 389 ml at 0.00°c and 775 mm hg, what
Charra [1.4K]
1) mass composition

N: 30.45%
O: 69.55%
   -----------
   100.00%

2) molar composition

Divide each element by its atomic mass

N: 30.45 / 14.00 = 2.175 mol

O: 69.55 / 16.00 = 4.346875

4) Find the smallest molar proportion

Divide both by the smaller number

N: 2.175 / 2.175 = 1

O: 4.346875 / 2.175 = 1.999 = 2

5) Empirical formula: NO2

6) mass of the empirical formula

14.00 + 2 * 16.00 = 46.00 g

7) Find the number of moles of the gas using the equation pV = nRT

=> n = pV / RT = (775/760) atm * 0.389 l / (0.0821 atm*l /K*mol * 273.15K)

=> n = 0.01769 moles

8) Find molar mass

molar mass = mass in grams / number of moles = 1.63 g / 0.01769 mol = 92.14 g / mol

9) Find how many times the mass of the empirical formula is contained in the molar mass

92.14 / 46.00 = 2.00

10) Multiply the subscripts of the empirical formula by the number found in the previous step

=> N2O4

Answer: N2O4

The physical and chemical properties of a molecule depend on its structure. Here are two ball-and-stick models for two compounds
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Ethanol has covalent intramolecular bonds. Ethanol is polar. Ethanol has dispersion intermolecular forces. Dimethyl ether is polar. Dimethyl ether forms hydrogen bonds. Dimethyl ether has dispersion intermolecular forces.

Explanation:

Ethanol is not a carboxylic acid. It is an alcohol and it has covelent intramolecular bonds. It is polar and it also has dispersion intermolecular forces.

Dimethyl ether is also polar and it has forms hydrogen bonds. It also has dispersion intermolecular forces. Dimethyl ether does not have ionic intramolecular forces
