Answer:

Ag_2SO_4

Explanation:

Formula for the calculation of no. of Mol is as follows:

mol=\frac{mass\ (g)}{molecular\ mass}

Molecular mass of Ag = 107.87 g/mol

Amount of Ag = 5.723 g

mol\ of\ Ag=\frac{5.723\ g}{107.87\ g/mol} =0.05305\ mol

Molecular mass of S = 32 g/mol

Amount of S = 0.852 g

mol\ of\ S=\frac{0.852\ g}{32\ g/mol} =0.02657\ mol

Molecular mass of O = 16 g/mol

Amount of O = 1.695 g

mol\ of\ O=\frac{1.695\ g}{16\ g/mol} =0.10594\ mol

In order to get integer value, divide mol by smallest no.

Therefore, divide by 0.02657

Ag, \frac{0.05305}{0.02657} \approx 2

S, \frac{0.02657}{0.02657} \approx 1

O, \frac{0.10594}{0.02657} \approx 4

Therefore, empirical formula of the compound = Ag_2SO_4

Answer:

The empirical formula is Ag2SO4

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A compound contains Ag, S and O

Mass of Ag = 5.723 grams

Mass of S = 0.852 grams

Mass of O = 1.695 grams

Molar mass of Ag = 107.87 g/mol

Molar mass of S = 32.065 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol

Total mass = Mass of Ag + mass of S + mass of O = 5.723g + 0.852g + 1.695g = 8.27 grams

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles of Ag = 5.723 grams / 107.87 g/mol = 0.05305 moles

Moles S = 0.852 grams / 32.065 g/mol = 0.0266 moles

Moles O = 1.695 grams / 16.00 g/mol = 0.1059 moles

Step 3: Calculate mole ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

Ag: 0.05305/0.0266 = 2

S: 0.0266/0.0266 = 1

O: 0.1059 / 0.0266 = 4

The empirical formula is Ag2SO4

Draw structures from the following names, and determine which compounds are optically active:(b) 3-chloro-2,2,5-trimethylhexane
inn [45]

The given compound 3-chloro-2,2,5-trimethylhexane is an optically active compound .

Because this compound does not have plane of symmetry (POS) and center  of symmetry (COS) i.e. does not have di-symmetry . And also forms non superimposable mirror image . the compound is optically active .

It has  chiral center.

Here the chiral carbon has 4 distinct groups such as : chlorine , hydrogen , 2-methylpropyl , tertbutyl .

<h3>What is di-symmetry?</h3>

Di-symmetry is that which have no center of symmetry and plane of symmetry and alternate axis of symmetry .

<h3>Chiral center :</h3>

Have Sp3 hybridized center (4sigma bond ) .

4 distinct group  is attached to the chiral atom. form non -superimposable mirror image .

<h3>What is optical isomerism ?</h3>

Same molecular formula and same structural formula . also have same physical and chemical properties .

They differ in their behavior towards plane polarized light (ppl) .

Will the ph of a solution of nh4cn be &gt;7, &lt;7, or =7?
never [62]
PH of a solution will be <span>higher than 7

Ammonium cyanide is a salt formed by hydrogen cyanide and ammonia. Ammonia is a weak base and hydrogen cyanide is a weak acid. 
NH₄CN + H₂O ⇒ NH₃ + HCN 

NH₄⁺ + H₂O -----> H₃O⁺ + NH₃

CN⁻ + H₂O -----> HCN + OH⁻ 

Although both compounds are weak electrolytes, NH₃ is somewhat stronger base than HCN is a strong acid, so the solution reacts alkaline. We can prove this using Ka and Kb values:

Ka(HCN) = 4.9 x × 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(NH₃) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵<span>
Kw= </span>1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴

Let's first calculate Ka for NH₄⁺: 
Ka(NH₄⁺) x Kb(NH₃<span>) = pKw

</span>Ka(NH₄⁺) = Kw/Kb(NH₃) = 5.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

Then, Kb for CN⁻:

Kb(CN⁻) x Ka(HCN) = pKw

Kb(CN⁻) = Kw/Ka(HCN) = 2 x 10⁻⁵

 
From this, we can see that the acid constant NH4⁺ is much lower than the base constant of CN⁻, which will say that the solution of NH₄CN will react slightly alkaline because of the higher presence of hydroxyl ions in solution.

What is 30-9x2*2-21-4+4
IgorC [24]
Answer:
9 (1-2x²)

Explanation:
The given expression is:
30 - 9x²*2 - 21 - 4 + 4
The first step is to compute the multiplication. This will give:
30 - 18x² - 21 - 4 + 4
Then, we will add like terms as follows:
(30-21-4+4) - 18x²
= 9 - 18x²
Finally, we can take the 9 as a common factor from both terms, this will give:
9 (1-2x²)

Hope this helps :)

In which system does a spontaneous redox reaction produce electrical energy?
Vladimir [108]
Had to look for the options and here is my answer.
When we say that a redox reaction is spontaneous, this would mean that there is a formation of positive voltage <span>across the electrodes of a voltaic cell. Therefore, the system that this kind of reaction produces electrical energy is in a GALVANIC CELL. Hope this helps.</span>

Properties of carbon responsible for the pressence of millions of organic compound ​
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Carbon has the ability to form very long chains of interconnecting C-C bonds. This property allows carbon to form the backbone of organic compounds, carbon-containing compounds, which are the basis of all known organic life. Nearly 10 million carbon-containing organic compounds are known.
