Answer :  The empirical formula of manganese fluoride is Mn_1F_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 Mn = 59.1 g

Mass of F = 40.9 g

Molar mass of Mn = 54.94 g/mole

Molar mass of F = 18.99 g/mole

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of Mn = \frac{\text{ given mass of Mn}}{\text{ molar mass of Mn}}\times 1\text{ mole of Mn} = \frac{59.1g}{54.94g/mole}\times 1\text{ mole of Mn} = 1.076 moles

Moles of F = \frac{\text{ given mass of F}}{\text{ molar mass of F}}\times 1\text{ mole of F} = \frac{40.9g}{18.99g/mole}\times 1\text{ mole of F} = 2.154 moles

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

For Mn = 1.076/1.076 = 1

For F = 2.154/1.076 ≈ 2

Mn : F = 1 : 2 

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

Therefore, the Empirical formula = Mn_1F_2

Hey there!:

Given % of Mn=59.1% means 59.1 g of Mn present in 100 g of manganese fluoride.

Molar mass of Mn= 54.938 g/mol

Moles of Mn = mass / molar mass

59.1 /54.938 => 1.07 ≈ 1 mol.

and % of F=40.9% means 40.9 g of of F present in 100 g of manganese fluoride.

Molar mass of F=18.998 g/mol

Moles of F :

40.9 / 18.999 => 2.15 mol ≈ 2 mol.

The mole ratio between Mn:F=  1 : 2

Therefore the empirical formula of manganese fluoride:

=> MnF2=Mn1F2

Hope that helps!

Answer:

Ionic bonding occurs when atoms either gain or lose one or more valence electrons, resulting in the atom having either a negative or positive charge.

Through ionic bonding, an atom of each element will combine with the other to form a molecule, which is more stable since it now has a zero charge.

A change in the water temp of the Pacific Ocean that produces a warm current
krok68 [10]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

El Nino

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • El Nino is a weather pattern that begins as a result in an increase in the water temperature at the surface of the Pacific ocean that produces a warm current.
  • It is a climate pattern that describes the unusual warming of surface waters in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.
  • It has an impact on ocean temperatures, the speed and strength of ocean currents together with the health of coastal fisheries. Its events occur irregularly at two- to seven-year intervals.

How many valence electrons are transferred from the calcium atom to iodine in the formation of the compound calcium iodide?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Two electrons.

Explanation:

Calcium is the element of second group and forth period. The electronic configuration of Calcium is - 2, 8, 8, 2 or 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

There are 2 valence electrons of Calcium.

Iodine is the element of seventeenth group and fifth period. The electronic configuration of Iodine is - 2, 8, 18, 18, 7 or [Kr]4d^{10}5s^25p^5

There are 7 valence electrons of iodine.

Calcium iodide, CaI_2 is formed when 2 valence electrons of calcium are loosed and they are gained by 2 atoms of iodine.

Defention of density in your own words
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Density is a word we use to describe how much space an object or substance takes up (its volume) in relation to the amount of matter in that object or substance (its mass). Another way to put it is that density is the amount of mass per unit of volume. If an object is heavy and compact, it has a high density.
