The empirical formula is XeO₃.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Assume 100 g of the compound is present. This changes the percents to grams:

Given mass in g:

Xenon = 73.23 g

Oxygen = 26.77 g

We have to convert it to moles.

Xe = 73.23/   131.293 = 0.56 moles

O = 26.77/ 16 = 1.67 moles

Divide by the lowest value, seeking the smallest whole-number ratio:

Xe = 0.56/ 0.56 = 1

O = 1.67/ 0.56 = 2.9 ≈3

So the empirical formula is XeO₃.

Which feature is most likely found at a divergent boundary?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Most divergent plate boundaries are underwater and form submarine mountain ranges called oceanic spreading ridges. While the process of forming these mountain ranges is volcanic, volcanoes and earthquakes along oceanic spreading ridges are not as violent as they are at convergent plate boundaries.

Why are most organic compounds nonconducting and insoluble in water?
maksim [4K]
I think the correct answers from the choices listed above are the second and the last options. Organic compounds are nonducting and insoluble in water because of the bonds that these compounds contain. Most organic compounds don't dissolve in water because they are nonpolar. They don't conduct electricity because they are covalent, not ionic.

QUICK HELP PLEASE!!?? Need answer QUICK
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Look on the x-axis for the tick marked "60". This indicates 60 degrees Celsius, which we want. Now, look on the y-axis for the tick marked "60". This indicates 60 grams of Na_2HAsO_4. Trace along the graph to find where these two places meet at (60, 60).

Now, look for the solubility curve of Na_2HAsO_4; it's the yellow-orange line. Find out what the y-coordinate of the point where x = 60 is on the line: it's around (60, 65).

So, since the point (60, 60) is below the line corresponding to this substance, Na_2HAsO_4 is unsaturated.

The answer is B.
