Answer:

THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA OF THE COMPOUND IS Ir Se2

Explanation:

Iridium = 16.7 g

Selenium = 10.3 g

Total mass = 16.7 + 10.3 = 27 g

To calculate the empirical formula, we first calculate the percentage com[position of the individual elements.

Percentage composition of iridium = 16.7 / 27 * 100 = 61.85 %

Percentage composition of selenium = 10.3 / 27 * 100 = 38.15 %

Next is to divide the percentage composition of each element by their respective molecular masses

Molecular mass of iridium = 192 g/mol

Molecular mass of selenium = 79g/mol

Iridium = 61.85 / 192 =  0.3221

Selenium = 38.15 / 79 = 0.4829

Next is to divide the values by the smaller of the two values

Iridium = 0.3221 / 0.3221 = 1

Selenium = 0.4829 / 0.3221 = 1.5

Next is to round up the values to a whole number

Iridium = 1

Selenium = 2

The empirical formula therefore is Ir Se2

Does seeing a gas produced always mean a chemical reaction is occurring? Explain.
chubhunter [2.5K]
Seeing signs of a chemical reaction does not always mean that a reaction is happening. For example, a gas (water vapor) is given off when water boils. ... You can tell that it is a physical change because water vapor can condense to form liquid water. In a chemical change, a new substance must be produced.

Which two layers are part of the thermosphere?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

exosphere and ionosphere.

Explanation:

very high up,the earth's atmosphere becomes very thin. the region where atoms and moleculesescape into space is referred to as the exosphere. exosphere is on top of the thermosphere.

scientists what is called the ionospherean extension of the thermosphere. so technically, ionosphere is not another atmospheric layer.

CONCLUSIONS: Suppose a student titrated a sample of monoprotic acid of unknown concentration using a previously standardized sol
Zolol [24]

Concentration of unknown acid is 0.061 M

Given:

Concentration of NaOH = 0.125 M

Volume of NaOH = 24.68 mL

Volume of acid solution = 50.00 mL

To Find:

Concentration of the unknown acid

Solution: Concentration is the abundance of a constituent divided by the total volume of a mixture. The concentration of the solution tells you how much solute has been dissolved in the solvent

Here we will use the formula for concentration:

M1V1 = M2V2

0.125 x 24.68 = 50 x M2

M2 = 0.125 x 24.68 / 50

M2 = 0.061 M

Hence, the concentration of unknown acid is 0.061 M
