Answer: MgCl_2

Explanation:

25.3% Mg

74.7% Cl

First step: change % to g

25.3g Mg

74.7g Cl

Second step: calculate g/mol of each compound. You can do this by using the atomic mass.

25.3gMg(\frac{1mol}{24.30g})=1.04mol

74.7gCl(\frac{1mol}{35.45g} )=2.11mol

Third step: determine the lowest number and divide everything by it. Of the result, extract whole number only.

Mg=\frac{1.04}{1.04} =1

Cl=\frac{2.11}{1.04}=2

Fourth step: Write each compound with their respective number below.

This empirical formula should be: MgCl_2

Describe what the greenhouse effect is and how it is caused on a molecular level.
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Solar energy absorbed at Earth’s surface is radiated back into the atmosphere as heat. As the heat makes its way through the atmosphere and back out to space, greenhouse gases absorb much of it. Why do greenhouse gases absorb heat? Greenhouse gases are more complex than other gas molecules in the atmosphere, with a structure that can absorb heat. They radiate the heat back to the Earth's surface, to another greenhouse gas molecule, or out to space.

There are several different types of greenhouse gases. The major ones are carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, and nitrous oxide. These gas molecules all are made of three or more atoms. The atoms are held together loosely enough that they vibrate when they absorb heat. Eventually, the vibrating molecules release the radiation, which will likely be absorbed by another greenhouse gas molecule. This process keeps heat near the Earth’s surface. Most of the gas in the atmosphere is nitrogen and oxygen, which cannot absorb heat and contribute to the greenhouse effect.
