A 2.241-g sample of nickel reacts with oxygen to form 2.852 g of the metal oxide. Calculate the empirical formula of the oxide?

Chemistry

Answer:

NiO

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to know the mass of oxygen used up. This is the difference between the mass of the nickel and the mass of the oxide. This is : 2.852 - 2.241 = 0.611g

Now we convert these masses to mole by dividing by their atomic masses. The atomic mass of oxygen is 16 while that of nickel is 59

O = 0.611/16 = 0.0381875

Ni = 2.241/59 = 0.037983050847458

The next thing is to divide each by the smaller number of moles, which is that of the nickel.

O = 0381875 /0.037983050847458= 1

Ni= 0.037983050847458/0.037983050847458= 1

The empirical formula is thus NiO

Why wouldn’t a tennis player with two sneakers “bond” to any other tennis players? Why wouldn’t a helium atom with two electrons
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Explained below.

Explanation:

A tennis player with two sneakers wouldn't bond to any other tennis player because he is already stable and complete with the 2 and doesn't need another players assistance to make him stand well.

However, helium atom with two electrons wouldn't bond to any other atoms because it is stable. This stability arises from the fact that it has two protons and 2 electrons, of which the 2 electrons completely fill its valence shell/outer most shell to make it neutral.

Which statements correctly describe atmospheric pressure?
Shalnov [3]

Answers are:

2. It pushes on all objects that are on Earth’s surface.

3. It can be measured in atmospheres or kilopascals.

Barometric pressure (atmospheric pressure), is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth

Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing height, because there are fewer air molecules above a given object.

Barometer is an instrument used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.

Atmospheric pressure (atm) is the force per unit area by the weight of air above that point.  

Kilopascal (kPa) is a metric system pressure unit and equals to 1000 force of newton per square meter.

Atmospheric pressure results from molecular collisions of atmospheric gases.
