Answer : The empirical formula of the compound is, OF_2

Solution : Given,

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of O = 29.6 g

Mass of F = 70.4 g

Molar mass of F = 19 g/mole

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mole

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of O = \frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{29.6g}{16g/mole}=1.85moles

Moles of F = \frac{\text{ given mass of F}}{\text{ molar mass of F}}= \frac{70.4g}{19g/mole}=3.70moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For O = \frac{1.85}{1.85}=1

For F = \frac{3.70}{1.85}=2

The ratio of O : F = 1 : 2

The mole ratio of the element is represented by subscripts in empirical formula.

The Empirical formula = O_1F_2=OF_2

Therefore, the empirical formula of the compound is, OF_2

O1Fl2

1. Assume an 100g sample, so the percentage will stay the same

2. Covert each element into their molar mass
29.6/16.00=1.8 mols of O
70.4/19.00=3.7 mols of Fl

3. Divide both by the smallest value of mol
1.8/1.8=1 O
3.7/1.8=2 Fl

4. Write the empirical formula:
O1Fl2

MissTica

Answer:

The final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain is oxygen

Explanation:

Four electrons gotten from cytochrome c are involved in the conversion of a molecule of oxygen (O2) to two molecules of water (H2O). This final electron transfer occurs in complex IV. Complex IV, also known as cytochrome c oxidase, facilitates the the use of four protons from the matrix of the mitochondrion, in the production of water molecules while pumping four protons to the intermembrane space of the mitochondrion.

Why do solids maintain their shape, whereas fluids do not?
Vinvika [58]
Solids maintain their shape, whereas fluids do not because <span>the molecules in solids maintain a regular pattern and only vibrate, or move very slowly. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the last option or option "d". I hope the answer has come to your help.</span>

How many grams of agcl would be needed to make a 4. 0 m solution with a volume of 0. 75 l?
devlian [24]

430 g of AgCl would be needed to make a 4.0m solution with a volume of 0.75 L.

<h3>What is Molarity?</h3>
  • The amount of a substance in a specific volume of solution is known as its molarity (M).
  • The number of moles of a solute per liter of a solution is known as molarity.
<h3>Calculation of Required amount of AgCl</h3>

Remember that mol/L is the unit of molarity (M).

We can compute the necessary number of moles of solute by multiplying the concentration by the liters of solution, according to dimensional analysis.

0.75L×4.0M=3.0mol

Then, using the periodic table's molar mass for AgCl, convert from moles to grams:

3.0mol×143.321gmol=429.963g

The final step is to round to the correct significant figure, which in this case is two: 430g.

Hence, 430 g of AgCl would be needed to make a 4.0m solution with a volume of 0.75 L.

You have a beaker of water that potentially has Ag+ ions and Ba+ ions (it could have both, one of them, or none of them). How wo
xenn [34]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Qualitative analysis in chemistry is a method used to determine the ions present in a solution chiefly by means of chemical reactions.

In this case, I suspect the presence of silver ions and/or barium ions. The first step is to add dilute HCl. This will lead to the precipitation of the silver ion as AgCl. If a white precipitate is formed upon addition of HCl then Ag^+ is present in the solution.

Secondly, I add a carbonate such as NH4CO3(aq). This will cause the barium ions to become precipitated as barium carbonate. Hence, the formation of a white precipitate when NH4CO3(aq) is added to the solution indicates the presence of barium ion in the solution.
