Answer:

IO₂

Explanation:

We have been given the mass percentages of the elements that makes up the compound:

Mass percentage given are:

Iodine = 79.86%

Oxygen = 20.14%

To calculate the empirical formula which is the simplest formula of the compound, we follow these steps:

> Express the mass percentages as the mass of the elements of the compound.

> Find the number of moles by dividing through by the atomic masses

> Divide by the smallest and either approximate to nearest whole number or multiply through by a factor.

> The ratio is the empirical formula of the compound.

Solution:

I O

% of elements 79.86 20.14

Mass (in g) 79.86 20.14

Moles(divide by

Atomic mass) 79.86/127 20.14/16

Moles 0.634 1.259

Dividing by

Smallest 0.634/0.634 1.259/0.634

1 2

The empirical formula is IO₂

Which of these actions would increase heat transfer between two objects?
klasskru [66]

Heat transfer is the phenomenon that occurs when the two objects are in the vicinity of each other and by increasing the area of their contact. Thus, option B is correct.

<h3>What is heat transfer?</h3>

Heat transfer is a process that flows the heat from one system to another, and is because of the difference in the temperature of the two objects that are part of the system.

The methods like conduction, convection, and radiation transfer the heat from the surface area to the other object. The heat gets transferred from the area of high to the low temperature.

Therefore, option B. by increasing the surface area the heat transfer increases.

Neko [114]

Answer:

C. The balloon with CH4 has the same moles of gas molecules as the balloon with H2

Explanation:

Based on combined gas law, gases under the same pressure, temperature and volume have the same number of moles. With this information we can say the rigth statement is:

<h3>C. The balloon with CH4 has the same moles of gas molecules as the balloon with H2</h3>

Cell theory states that all the living organisms are made up of basic structural and functional units, cells. All cells divide and give rise to new cells. All the cells have similar chemical composition. The nuclei acid DNA present in the chromosomes helps in carrying hereditary information from generation to generation. So, in order to sustain life the cells must contain DNA either enclosed in the nucleus or freely floating in the cytoplasm.
