Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up a compound.

The percentage composition of each element has been given

therefore the mass present of each element in 100 g of compound is

                      B                                   N                         H

mass          40.28 g                         52.20 g                 7.53 g

number of moles  

                 40.28 g / 11 g/mol      52.20 g / 14 g/mol    7.53 g / 1 g/mol

                = 3.662 mol                  = 3.729 mol             = 7.53 mol

divide the number of moles by the least number of moles, that is 3.662

                3.662 / 3.662              3.729 / 3.662              7.53 / 3.662

               = 1.000                           = 1.018                        = 2.056

the ratio of the elements after rounding off to the nearest whole number is

B : N : H = 1 : 1 : 2

therefore empirical formula for the compound is B₁N₁H₂          

that can be written as BNH₂

To sum up the question: why are some parts of the body more sensitive than others?
natulia [17]

Answer:

Some areas of the body are more sensitive than others because they have more nerve endings. It hurts when you bite your tongue because the sides of your tongue have a lot of nerve endings that are very sensitive to pain! The tongue, lips, and fingertips are the most touch-sensitive parts of the body.  The parts of your skin that need to be most sensitive like your fingertips and your lips have more receptor cells in them than others less sensitive areas.  The least sensitive skin on the human body is found in the heel area. This is because there are very few nerves in the heel to feel things. If there were too many nerves in our heels then walking would be far too painful.

Does seeing a gas produced always mean a chemical reaction is occurring? Explain.
chubhunter [2.5K]
Seeing signs of a chemical reaction does not always mean that a reaction is happening. For example, a gas (water vapor) is given off when water boils. ... You can tell that it is a physical change because water vapor can condense to form liquid water. In a chemical change, a new substance must be produced.

Solve fasttt<br><br> C7H17+O2=CO2+H2O<br><br> Balancing Equations
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The answer to your question is

                                        4C₇H₁₇  + 45 O₂    ⇒   28 CO₂   +  34H₂O  

Explanation:

Write the equation

                                        C₇H₁₇  +    O₂    ⇒    CO₂   +    H₂O  

Process

1.- Check if the equation is balanced

                                 Reactants            Element              Products

                                        7                          C                           1

                                       17                          H                          2

                                        2                          O                          3

As the number of reactants and products is different, we conclude that the reaction is unbalanced.

2.- Write a coefficient "7" to CO₂   and a coefficient of 17/2 to H₂O

                                      C₇H₁₇  +    O₂    ⇒   7CO₂   +  \frac{17}{2}H₂O  

                                 Reactants            Element              Products

                                        7                          C                           7

                                       17                          H                          17

                                        2                          O                          51/2

3.- Write a coefficient of 45/2 to the O₂, and multiply all the equation by 2.

                         4C₇H₁₇  + 45 O₂    ⇒   28 CO₂   +  34H₂O  

                  Reactants            Element              Products

                        28                          C                        28

                        68                          H                        68

                        90                          O                        90

Select correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups. Select correct examples of linear molecules for five elect
Shalnov [3]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate hybridization is as follows.

                Hybridization = \frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

So, hybridization of BeCl_{2} is as follows.

              Hybridization = \frac{1}{2}[V + N - C + A]

                                    = \frac{1}{2}[2 + 2]

                                    = 2

Hybridization of BeCl_{2} is sp. Therefore, BeCl_{2} is a linear molecule. There will be only two electron groups through which Be is attached.

Similarly, hybridization of XeF_{2} is calculated as follows.

         Hybridization = \frac{1}{2}[V + N - C + A]

                                    = \frac{1}{2}[8 + 2]

                                    = 5

Therefore, hybridization of XeF_{2} is sp^{3}d. Therefore, [tex]XeF_{2} is also a linear molecule. Though there are three lone pair of electrons present on a xenon atom and it is further attached with fluorine atoms through two electron pairs. Hence, there are in total five electron groups.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options XeF_{2} is the correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups.
