Step  one  calculate  the  moles  of  each  element
that  is  moles= %  composition/molar  mass
molar  mass  of    Ca  =  40g/mol,     S=  32  g/mol ,   O=  16 g/mol

moles  of      Ca = 29.4 /40g/mol=0.735 moles,      S= 23.5/32  =0.734 moles,  O= 47.1/16= 2.94   moles

calculate  the mole  ratio  by  dividing   each  mole with  smallest  mole   that   is  0.734
Ca=  0.735/0.734= 1,      S=  0.734/0.734 =1,   O  = 2.94/  0.734= 4
therefore  the  emipical  formula  =  CaSO4

Which of the following produces a physical change in the shape of an object?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:Any change that occurs without altering the chemical composition of a substance is a physical change. Physical changes can include changing the color, shape, state of matter, or volume of a substance. It is crucial to remember that physical changes never alter the chemical makeup.

Analyze how friction can be both a positive and negative aspect in our everyday lives. Use examples to support your statements.
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

For example, friction between our shoes and the floor stop us from slipping and friction between tyres and the road stop cars from skidding. Friction is sometimes unhelpful. For example, if you don't lubricate your bike regularly with oil, the friction in the chain and axles increases.

if the spin of one electron in an orbital is clockwise , what is the spin of the other electron in that orbital
nata0808 [166]

Here we have to get the spin of the other electron present in a orbital which already have an electron which has clockwise spin.

The electron will have anti-clockwise notation.

We know from the Pauli exclusion principle, no two electrons in an atom can have all the four quantum numbers i.e. principal quantum number (n), azimuthal quantum number (l), magnetic quantum number (m) and spin quantum number (s) same. The importance of the principle also restrict the possible number of electrons may be present in a particular orbital.

Let assume for an 1s orbital the possible values of four quantum numbers are n = 1, l = 0, m = 0 and s = \frac{+}{-}\frac{1}{2}.

The exclusion principle at once tells us that there may be only two unique sets of these quantum numbers:

1, 0, 0, +\frac{1}{2} and 1, 0, 0, -\frac{1}{2}.

Thus if one electron in an orbital has clockwise spin the other electron will must be have anti-clockwise spin.

A gas mixture contains HBr, NO2, and C2H6 at STP.If a tiny hole is made in the container, which gas will effuse fastest?Which ga
MakcuM [25]

Explanation:

Molar mass of HBr = 81 g/mol

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide gas = 46 g/mol

Molar mass of ethane = 30 g/mol

Graham's Law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows the equation:

\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}

So, the gas with least molar mass will effuse out fastest from the container and that is ethane gas.

The formula for average kinetic energy is:

K.E=\frac{3}{2}kT

where,

k = Boltzmann’s constant = 1.38\times 10^{-23}J/K

T = temperature = 273.15 K ( at STP)

As we can see from the formula that kinetic energy depends upon only temperature of the gas molecule.

So, from this we can say that all the gas molecules have the same average kinetic energy at this temperature.
