Answer:

Option A.

Explanation:

According to the attached picture (which I'm assuming is the same that you have, but you forgot to attach) let's see wchi thermometer will help to measure the temperature of this liquid at 43.6 °C

In thermometer A, we can see that the the measures of temperatures are measured to the tenth digit. This means that the measures would be more accurate, and this is precisaly what we want in this case, because the temperature we need to measure is 43.6 °C.

Thermometer B measures to 1 digit only, therefore, is less accurate than thermometer A, and the measure would not be readable with accuracy.

Remember that accuracy is related to the closeness of a standard value, while the precision is related to the closeness of two or more measures.

In this problem we do not have several measures, just one, and we need to do it with more accuracy, so thermometer A would fullfill this.

Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions:

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: $MgS$ , $MgBr_2$ , $V_2S_5$ and $VBr_5$ are four binary ionic compounds that could be formed.

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Mg is having an oxidation state of +2 called as $Mg^{2+}$ cation and $S^{2-}$ is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $MgS$ . Also $Mg^{2+}$ cation and $Br^{-}$ can combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $MgBr_2$ .

Also Vanadium is having an oxidation state of +5 called as $V^{5+}$ cation and $S^{2-}$ is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $V_2S_5$ . Also $V^{5+}$ cation and $Br^{-}$ anion can combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $VBr_5$ .

What is the number of moles in 15.0 g AsH3?

pentagon [3]

We are given with the mass of Arsine ( $AsH_{3}$

The mass of arsine is 15g

there is a relation between moles, mass and molar mass of any compound which is

$moles=\frac{mass}{molarmass}$

The molar mass of Arsine = atomic mass of As + 3X atomic mass of H

the molar mass of Arsine = 74.92 + 3X 1 = 77.92 g/mol

Let us calculate the moles as

$moles=\frac{15}{77.92}=0.192mol$

Find the number of atoms in 237g Cu (molar mass of Cu63.55g/mol)

MakcuM [25]

In order to find the amount of atoms you have to find the moles then multiply by Avogadro's Constant (L)

mol = $\frac{MASS}{Molar Mass}$

= $\frac{237 g}{63.55 g/mol} 
$

= 3.73 mol

Number of atoms of Cu = mol × L

= 3.73 mol × (6.02 × 10²³)

= 2.245 × 10²⁴ atoms of copper
