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

What causes water to become denser when it is carried to the poles by surface currents? increased temperature and increased sali
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The answer is decreased temperature and increased salinity

Explanation:

It is what is known as the thermohaline circulation

The thermohaline circulation moves the water slowly. This water moves mainly due to differences in its relative density. Much denser water sinks over water that is less dense. Two factors impact the density of seawater: temperature and salinity.

Cold water is denser than hot water:

-Water cools when it loses heat, it occurs at high latitudes.

-Water is heated when it receives energy from the sun, at low latitudes.

Saltier water is much denser than water that has less salt:

-Sea water becomes salty if the evaporation rate increases.

-Sea water becomes less salty if there is a water inlet over the sea.

How many photons are produced in a laser pulse of 0.364 J at 477 nm?
Luda [366]

Answer:

1.00 × 10¹⁸

Explanation:

1. Calculate the <em>energy of one photon</em>

The formula for the energy of a photon is

<em>E</em> = <em>hc</em>/λ  

<em>h</em> = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s; <em>c</em> = 2.998 × 10⁸ m·s⁻¹

λ = 477 nm = 477 × 10⁻⁹ m                              Insert the values

<em>E</em> = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ × 2.998× 10⁸)/(477 × 10⁻⁹)

<em>E</em> = 4.165× 10⁻¹⁹ J

2. Calculate the <em>number of photons</em>

Divide the total energy by the energy of one photon.

No. of photons = 0.418 × 1/4.165 × 10⁻¹⁹      

No. of photons = 1.00 × 10¹⁸

K forms the compound K2O , which is an ionic compound that is brittle. Identify another element, M , that is likely to form a br
meriva

The metal is sodium, Na.

<u>Explanation:</u>

K₂O is an ionic compound in which K is in the oxidation state of +1 and it belongs to group 1.

Group 1 elements also form oxides with the metals with the general formula M₂O and M being Na, K, Li and so on.

Metals Like sodium and Potassium are so brittle in nature and also their oxides.

So the other metal that form metal oxide which is brittle as well as ionic in nature, and so the metal oxide is Na₂O.

So the metal is sodium, Na.
