Answer:

THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA OF THE SUBSTANCE IS C2H5NO

Explanation:

The steps involved in calculating the empirical formula of this substance in shown in the table below:

Element                            Carbon           Hydrogen          Nitrogen         Oxygen

1. % Composition              40.66              8.53                 23.72                27.09

2. Mole ratio =

%mass/ atomic mass       40.66/12         8.53/1          23.72/14            27.09/16

                                       =  3.3883            8.53              1,6943             1.6931

3. Divide by smallest

value (0.6931)          3.3883/1.6931    8.53/1.6931    1.6943/1.6931   1.6931/1.6931

                               =      2.001                  5.038           1.0007                      1

4. Whole number ratio        2                       5                   1                               1

The empirical formula = C2H5NO

Write the Lewis structure for the product that forms when boron trifluoride combines with ammonia. Remember to show all non-zero
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

To draw or sketch a Lewis structure, formula or diagram, the chemical formula of the compound is essential. Without it you can not even know what are the atoms that make it up, in our case it is the one observed in the reaction shown:

BF_{3} + :NH_{3} ⇒ F3F_{3} BNH_{3}

In the structure obtained (see the Lewis structure in the drawing) the black dots correspond to the electrons of the non-shared pairs.  Because hydrogen has a single electron and a single orbital available to fill, it forms only a covalent bond represented by a long dash.   The same goes for boron and fluorine but in this case the fluorine has pairs of free electrons.

Explanation:

Lewis's structure is all that representation of covalent bonds within a molecule or an ion. In it, said bonds and electrons are represented by long dots or dashes, although most of the times the dots correspond to non-shared electrons and dashes to covalent bonds.

All existing compounds can be represented by Lewis structures, giving a first approximation of how the molecule or ions could be.

HELP.....From the information presented in the activity series of metals below (4 metals included), answer the following questio
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

a)there would be no reaction

Explanation:

The activity series of metals has many functions. The one applicable to this problem is that it can be used to determine whether a reaction will occur or not. Also, based on the positions of metals in the series, we can know how reactive a metal is compared to another.

In a single displacement reaction, a metal replaces another metal based on their position on the activity series. Metals that are higher in the series are generally more reactive than others below them and so will displace them.

 

Would aluminum replace magnesium to form a new compound or would there be no reaction?

Magnesium is higher than aluminum in the activity series. Therefore it is more reactive than aluminum. No reaction will occur.

Water enters a 4.00-m3 tank at a rate of 6.33 kg/s and is withdrawn at a rate of 3.25 kg/s. The tank is initially half full.
olga55 [171]

Answer:

At the start of the process, the volume not occupied by the water is 2 m3

Explanation:

At the start of the process you have a half full tank. It means that also a half is empty (not occupied by water).

Since the volume is 4 m3, 2 m3 are full (occupied by water) and 2 m3 (not occupied by water).

The volume in time will be

V(t)=V_0+(f_i-f_o)*t\\\\V(t) = 2 +(6.33/1000-3.25/1000)*t=2+0.00308*t \, \, [m3]
