Explanation:

<h3>We define non-metal oxide acidity in terms of the acidic solutions formed in reactions with water. For example, sulfur trioxide reacts with water to forms sulfuric acid. In sum, acidic oxides are oxides of non-metals, and basic oxides are oxides of metals. ... CrO is basic, Cr2O3 is amphoteric and CrO3 is acidic.</h3>

Which shows the correct relationship between the molecular formula and the empirical formula for C2H10N2?

SIZIF [17.4K]

The correct answer is A. molecular formula = 2 x empirical formula

The given compound C2H10N2 is the molecular formula because the ratios of the elements are not reduced into lowest terms (empirical formula). To get the empirical formula, the ratios must be reduced to the smallest possible integral ratio which gives CH5N. As a result, the ratio between both formulas is 2.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

U-238

Explanation:

For a given radioisotope, half life can be defined as the time taken for the isotope to decay into one-half of its original amount. Mathematically, this is expressed as:

$t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k}$
