Explanation:

The given compounds are oxyacids and in these compounds more is the electronegativity of the central atom more will be its acidic strength.

This is because more is the electronegativity of the central atom more will be the polarity of OH bond. As a result, the compound can readily lose H^{+} ion.

Also, more is the electronegativity of central atom more will be the stability of conjugate base formed.

Thus, we can conclude that given compounds are arranged in increasing acid strength as follows.

       HOI < HOBr_{2} < HOCl_{3} < HOF

Which pair consists of a molecular formula and its corresponding empirical formula?
MissTica
<span>3) P4O10 and P2O5
The mass of the P4O10 divided by the mass of the P2O5=2, and if you multiply the number of atoms in the P2O5 by 2, you get the P4O10, thus P2O5 is its empirical formula.</span>

A student places a small amount of water in a glass dish and then carefully places a small paperclip on the surface of the water
rosijanka [135]
Include: 
- Adding cleanser makes the paperclip fall through the water to the base of the dish. 
- Soap is a surfactant. 
- Surfactants lessen the surface pressure of a fluid. 
- The surface strain of water is the thing that upheld the paper cut.

A student experimentally obtained the density of osmium the densest element as 22.57g/cm3 the density of osmium is reported to b
Airida [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: % error = 0.4

Explanation:

Data

real value = 22.48%

estimated value = 22.57 %

Formula

% error = |real value - estimated value|/real value x 100

%error = |22.48 - 22.57|/22.48 x 100

% error = |-0.09|/22.48 x 100

%error = 0.09/22.48 x 100

% error = 0.004 x 100

% error = 0.4
