How isa molecule of mercury different from a molocue of water

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The density of mercury molecule is higher than water.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Density is defined as mass per unit volume.In other words, density is the amount of matter within a given amount of space. water has the density of 1.0 gram per milliliter whereas the mercury has a density of 13.6 grams per centimeter squared.

One reason for the differences in density between mercury and water is that the atomic mass of mercury is 200.59 grams per mole. The atomic mass of water is 18.0 grams per mole. This is because mercury has a larger nucleus than hydrogen or water.

Additionally, there are strong inter-molecular forces (hydrogen bonds) between water molecules. hydrogen molecules do not stack upon one another as nicely as mercury atoms. Thus, there is additional empty spaces between the water molecules leading to its lower mass per volume(density)

What is the empirical formula of a compound that is 18.8% Li, 16.3% C , and 64.9% O
zlopas [31]

Greetings!

To find the empirical formula you need the relative atomic mass of each element!

Li = 6.9

C = 12

O = 16

You can simply change the percentages into full grams

Li = 18.8g

C = 16.3g

O = 64.9


Then you use this to find the Number of moles = amount in grams / atomic mass

Li = 18.8 ÷ 6.9 = 2.7246

C = 16.3 ÷ 12 = 1.3583

O = 64.9 ÷ 16 = 4.0562

Then divide each number of moles by the smallest value:

Li = 2.7246 ÷ 1.3583 = 2.0

C = 1.3583 ÷ 1.3583 = 1

O = 4.0562 ÷ 1.3583 = 2.9 ≈ 3


So that means that there are 2 Li, 1 C, and 3 O

Empirical formula would be:

Li₂CO₃


Hope this helps!

How many moles are in 1.5 x 10^20 molecules of NH3?
Keith_Richards [23]
<span>Because the question is asking moles of NH3, the compound, any subscripts are irrelevant. It only wants to know how many moles of NH3 molecules, not individual atoms.

Therefore, we can simply convert to moles. 1.5x10^23/6.022x10^23 = .249 moles of NH3.

(If it were to ask moles of Hydrogen, for example, you would multiply the answer by 3, because there are 3 atoms of Hydrogen per one molecule of NH3. But this only asks for moles of the entire compound).  

hope you have a great day! :)

In an experiment magnesium ribbon was heated in air. The product was found to be heavier than the original ribbon. Potassium man
KatRina [158]

Burning a magnesium ribbon in the air is an addition reaction while heating potassium manganate 7 is a decomposition reaction.

<h3>Addition and decomposition reactions</h3>

Magnesium burns in air to produce magnesium oxide as follows:

2Mg + O_2 --- > 2MgO

Potassium manganate 7 burns to produce multiple products as follows:

2 KMnO_4 --- > K_2MnO_4 + MnO_2(s) + O_2

Thus, the MgO will be heavier than Mg. On the other hand, MnO_2 will be less heavy than KMnO_4.
