A non-chlorine chemical such as iodine may be used as a
sanitizing solution. To use iodine as a sanitizing solution, it should be
around 12.5-25 ppm in water that is at least 75° F. Utensils and equipment must
be immersed for only 30 seconds because it may lose its effectivity if the pH
level gets too high due to high temperature. Discoloration may also result if
the utensils and equipment are in prolonged contact with the solution.
Greetings!
To find the empirical formula you need the relative atomic mass of each element!
Li = 6.9
C = 12
O = 16
You can simply change the percentages into full grams
Li = 18.8g
C = 16.3g
O = 64.9
Then you use this to find the Number of moles = amount in grams / atomic mass
Li = 18.8 ÷ 6.9 = 2.7246
C = 16.3 ÷ 12 = 1.3583
O = 64.9 ÷ 16 = 4.0562
Then divide each number of moles by the smallest value:
Li = 2.7246 ÷ 1.3583 = 2.0
C = 1.3583 ÷ 1.3583 = 1
O = 4.0562 ÷ 1.3583 = 2.9 ≈ 3
So that means that there are 2 Li, 1 C, and 3 O
Empirical formula would be:
Li₂CO₃
Hope this helps!
Hg + O2 --> HgO + O
Note that Mercury has a variable valency.
Answer:

for the balanced equation

I think The answer to two is it would sink
