The empirical formula is often the same as the molecular formula but not always. For example, the molecule acetylene has molecular formula C2H2, but the simplest integer ratio of elements is CH.

I don't know how to do this can I get the answers plz it's due in 1 hour
katrin [286]
Okay, so even if I just gave you the answers, your teacher needs work on it too so it'll be easier/better if I just explain how to do it.
Basically, both sides need to have the same number of molecules. To do this, we make charts. This is the first side of number one:
Na - 1
Mg- 1
F - 2
The subscript gives F two molecules, and the other ones only each have one. This is the second side:
Na- 1
Mg- 1
F- 1
So they're not equal. To fix this, we add coefficients. These are numbers that are going to appear in the front of each compound/element and changes the number of molecules of the WHOLE compound/element. We need two F on the second side, so we'll put a coefficient of 2 in front of NaF. The new chart for the second side is this:
Na- 2
Mg- 1
F- 2
Now we've fixed the F, but now Na is off! So let's go to the first side again and see what we can do. We can put a 2 in front of the Na. The new chart is this:
Na- 2
Mg -1
F- 2
Now both sides are the same. The full new equation is:
2Na + MgF(sub2) = 2NaF + Mg
Basically, do this for all of them. Feel free to ask more questions.

Why couldn't you substitute concentrated hno3 solution for 3M h2so4 in parts 4 and 5
lianna [129]
<span>You can't substitute that. Substitution is a reaction between acid and metal. Acid+metal ---> salt+H2 example : H2SO4+Al ---> Al2(SO4)3+H2 so,substitution of hno3 solution for 3M h2so4 is not possible</span>

Please help!!!

Answer:

1.) The result is a red solution and a blue-green precipitate.

2.) The reaction results in a precipitate of a basic salt, which can co-precipitate with other metal ions that form hydroxide precipitates, causing complications when trying to separate metal ions.
