Which represents the empirical formula for a3B9

1 answer:

3 0

A3B9 represents a molecular formula. The representation of the empirical formula for this compound is AB3. This is so because the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of the atoms present in the molecule. You get AB3 when you divide the subscripts of A3B9, this is 3 and 9, by the greatest common factor, which is 3. 3/3 = 1 and 9/3 = 3, so the subscripts for the empirical formula are 1 and 3, which is what AB3 represents. Answer: AB3.

Answer:

gamma rays > X-rays > ultraviolet radiation > visible light > infrared > radio waves.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are those waves that require no material medium for propagation. They can travel through space and they all move at the speed of light.

Electromagnetic waves are composed of both electric and magnetic fields which are mutually at right angles to each other.

The order of decreasing energy of electromagnetic waves is;

gamma rays > X-rays > ultraviolet radiation > visible light > infrared > radio waves.

Which one is a true statement about endothermic reactions? A. I need you from an outside source is continuously being added. B.

tekilochka [14]

Correct answer: "A. Energy from an outside source is continuously being added."
An endothermic reaction is a reaction that is characterised by the system absorbing energy from its surroundings. That energy is usually in heat form. For example, when mixing water with potassium chloride, this reaction will absorb heat and the container will feel cold - endothermic reaction.

Find the linear function Cequalsf(F) that gives the reading on the Celsius temperature scale corresponding to a reading on the

padilas [110]

Answer:

C = (5/9) F - (160/9)

They both read equal at Z = - 40

Explanation:

We are looking for a linear function so we can write the following condition

Y = aX + b

Applying it to the exercise we got C = a F + b

Let's use the facts that C = 0 when F = 32 and C = 100 when F = 212

0 = 32 a + b (1)

100 = 212 a + b (2)

From (1) b = - 32 a , when we replace this in (2) we obtain a = (5/9)

and b = - (5/9)32 = - 160/9

Finally the linear function is C = (5/9) F - (160/9)

Both readings are equal at a Z number so

Z = (5/9) Z - 160/9

(4/9) Z = -160/9 and Z = - 40

The mole is defined as the amount of a substance containing the same number of particles as exactly 12 g of C-12. The amu is def

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Because it wouldn't make any sense

Explanation:

First of all, I think it's important to highlight the definition of isotope.

Isotope (Wikipedia): Variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number...

This means that two isotopes are the same element but have different net mass per atom, due to the different number of neutrons.

Therefore, it's important to make the definition on the same isotope so that the proportion is equal. If the definition would be made on different isotopes, the proportion wouldn't have any sense. Let me be clear with this example:

mass in grams of a C-12 atom = 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g --> this is the mass of a single C atom.

By definition --> 1 mol of anything = 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 particles of anything

Therefore, we know how much a single C atom weights. How many grams do you think that 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C (i.e a mol of C) could weight??

1 single C atom ----------------------------- 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g

6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C ------------ 12.006 g !!

These 12 g is the same quantity than above! Therefore, 1 mol of C weights 12 g. If the definition were made with 13 g of C-13 (the other C isotope), these numbers will not be the same --> There would be a contradiction.

Regarding the second question, we need to search Ne-20 atomic mass in grams --> 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g

Hence, if we follow the same rule, the amu would be 1/12 of Ne-20.

[ 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g ] / 12 = 2.79 ^ -24 g
