Answer:

The answer to your question is Pd₂H₄

Explanation:

Data

mass of palladium = 42.56 g

mass of hydrogen = 0.8 g

Process

1.- Convert the grams of each substance to moles

                   106 g of Pd ----------------- 1 mol

                    42.56 g of Pd -------------  x

                      x = (42.56 x 1)/106

                      x = 0.402 moles

                      1 g of H --------------------- 1 mol

                     0.8 g of H ------------------ x

                     x = (0.8 x 1)/1

                     x = 0.8 moles

2.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

Palladium = 0.402/0.402 = 1

Hydrogen = 0.8/0.402 = 1.99 ≈ 2              

3.- Write the empirical formula

                                 PdH₂

4.- Calculate the mass of the empirical formula

PdH₂ = 106 + 2 = 108

5.- Divide the molar mass by the molar mass of the empirical formula

                     216.8/108 = 2

6.- Get the molecular formula

                 2(PdH₂) = Pd₂H₄

What are these associated with the solar wind
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The solar wind is a stream of charged particles released from the upper atmosphere of the Sun, called the corona. ... Its particles can escape the Sun's gravity because of their high energy resulting from the high temperature of the corona, which in turn is a result of the coronal magnetic field.

Find [cu2+] in a solution saturated with cu4(oh)6(so4) if [oh − ] is fixed at 2.3 ✕ 10−6 m. note that cu4(oh)6(so4) gives 1 mol
ki77a [65]
<span>

</span>Cu_4(OH)_6(SO_4)
<span>
You have OH-  conc = </span>2.3 ✕ 10−6 m
From the formula, you can observe the ratio of Cu2+ to OH- is  4 : 6 = 2:3

So, for 2.3 ✕ 10−6 m OH-
[Cu2+] = \frac{2}{3} \times 2.3 \times 10^{-6}

= 1.53  \times 10^{-6} &#10;

According to the rate law, how do concentrations affect rate?
IrinaK [193]
D, the rate increases as concentrations increase.

Typically, reaction rates decrease with time because reactant concentrations decrease as reactions are converted to products. Reaction rates generally increase when reactant concentrations are increased.

Calcium is added to water,the liberated gas is<br>​
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

In both cases, the gas evolved is H2. When calcium reacts with water the heat evolved is not suffcient for hydrogen to catch fire. On the other hand, sodium metal reacts with water violently and in this case a lot of heat is evolved which is sufficient for hydrogen to catch fire.
