Assuming you are talking about the atomic mass of calcium chloride...
M = n/V
M = 1/3.35
M = 0.298
Explanation:
correct answer is g(x)=x+2
It will get hotter, because the molecules create heat when they move around just like us when we run.
Answer:
C. two atoms of oxygen.
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Silicon has 14 electrons
Silicon is part of Group IV, all the elements there have 4 valence electrons.
It can form a compound when 4 valence electrons bind with the 4 valence elctrons of silicon
A. four atoms of calcium.
Calcium has 2 valence elctrons. 4 atoms of calcium <u>cannot bind</u> on 1 atom of silicon since there are only 4 valence electrons.
B. one atom of chlorine.
1 atom of chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can bind with an atom with 1 valence electron. Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, they will <u>not bind.</u>
Silicon can bind with 4 atoms of chlorine to form SiCl4
C. two atoms of oxygen.
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, this means oxygen can bind with an element with 2 valence electrons.
Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, it <u>can bind</u> with 2 atoms of oxygen to form SiO2 (silicon dioxide).
D. three atoms of hydrogen.
Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. 1 hydrogen atom can bind with an element that has 7 valence electrons.
Three atoms of hydrogen can bind with an element that has 5 valence electrons.
Silicon <u>will not</u> bind with 3 atoms of hydrogen ( but can bind with 4 atoms of hydrogen)
Answer:
Option C :
a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio
Explanation:
Empirical Formula:
Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.
So,
Tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule
For Example
C₂H₆O₂ Consist of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O)
Now
Look at the ratio of these three atoms in the compound
C : H : O
2 : 6 : 2
Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio
C : H : O
2/2 : 6/2 : 2/2
1 : 3 : 1
So for the empirical formula the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:3:1
So the empirical formula will be
Empirical formula of C₂H₆O₂ = CH₃O
So, Option C is correct :
a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio
