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

Does sugar can dissolve in ccl4​
wel

Answer:

Sugar is a polar compound , in the solid state of it Hydrogen bond strongly binds the molicules of sugar together. Being a non polar solvent and low polarity difference between Cl and C atom C—Cl bond in CCl4 is unable to form hydrogen bond. That's why sugar can't be soluble in CCl4.

An 80.0-gram sample of water at 10.0°C absorbs 1680 Joules of heat energy. What is the final temperature of the water? a 50.0°C
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

b)15.0°C

Explanation:

Specific Heat of Water=4.2 J/g°C

This means, that 1 g of Water will take 4.2 J of energy to increase its temperature by 1°C.

∴80 g Water will take 80×4.2 J of energy to increase its temperature by 1°C.

80×4.2 J=336 J

Total Energy Provided=1680 J

The temperature increase=\frac{\textrm{Total energy required}}{\textrm{energy required to increase temperature by one degree}}

Temperature increase=\frac{1680}{336}

=5°C

Initial Temperature =10°C

Final Temperature=Initial + Increase in Temperature

=10+5=15°C
