People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.

However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.

Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.

Write the empirical formula for at least four ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions:

love history [14]

Answer:

$FeSO_{4},FeCH_{3}CO,Fe_{2}(SO_{4})_{3},Fe_{2}(CH_{3}CO)_{3}$

Explanation:

Empirical formula of ionic compound formed by two ions $A^{x+}$ and $B^{y-}$ is $A_{y}B_{x}$ (for $x\neq y$ ) of AB (for x = y)

The above empirical formula is in accordance with charge neutrality principle

Here each cation ( $Fe^{3+}$ and $Fe^{2+}$ ) can form two ionic compounds by combining with two given anions ( $SO_{4}^{2-}$ and $CH_{3}CO^{2-}$ ).

So the four ionic compounds are: $FeSO_{4},FeCH_{3}CO,Fe_{2}(SO_{4})_{3},Fe_{2}(CH_{3}CO)_{3}$

Answer and work for this problem

MArishka [77]

We can write the balanced equation for the synthesis reaction as
H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g)

We use the molar masses of hydrogen chloride gas HCl and hydrogen gas H2 to calculate for the mass of hydrogen gas H2 needed:
mass of H2 = 146.4 g HCl *(1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) * (1 mol H2 / 2 mol HCl) *
(2.02 g H2 / 1 mol H2)
= 4.056 g H2

We also use the molar masses of hydrogen chloride gas HCl and chlorine gas CL2 to calculate for the mass of hydrogen gas H2:
mass of CL2 = 146.4 g HCl *(1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) * (1 mol Cl2 / 2 mol HCl) *
(70.91 g Cl2 / 1 mol Cl2)
= 142.4 g Cl2

Therefore, we need 4.056 grams of hydrogen gas and 142.4 grams of chlorine gas to produce 146.4 grams of hydrogen chloride gas.

Anettt [7]

Answer: weigh is m = n × M = 2.87 mol × 58.44 g/mol

Explanation: mass = amount of substance × molar mass

M((NaCl) = 22.99 +35.45
