Answer:

15.95

Explanation:

This question is a modification of the calculation of  the empirical formula of a compound given its percent composition and atomic weights of the elements in the compound.

Here we are given the formula and the percent composition, so we know that there are 4 atoms of E per 2 atoms of N so lets solve using the information given.

In 100 grams of the binary compound we have

30.46 g N

69.54 g E

The number of moles is the mass divided by atomic weight:

mol N = 30.46 g / A.W N = 30.46 g / 14.00 g/mol = 2.18 mol N

mol E = 65.54 g / A.W E

Thus,

4 mol E/ 2 mol N = ( 69.54 g/ A.W E ) / 2.18

2  A.E = 65.54 g / 2.18  ⇒ A.W E = 69.54 g / ( 2 x 2.18 ) = 15.94 g

So the A.W is 15.94 g/mol which is close  the atomic weight of O.

1. The first four-legged animals to reach land were classified as
andrezito [222]

Explanation:

  • The first four-legged animals to reach land were classified as tetrapods the term tetra means four. So tetrapods refer to animals with four limbs.
  • Pangaea also known as Pangea was a supercontinent during the late Paleozoic and Mesozoic times. It incorporated almost the earth's land masses. The formation and breaking up of continents is a geological cyclic process. And there seemed to have many supercontinents that existed before Pangaea. And according to the sources it assembled from the earlier continental parts approximately 335 million of years ago.
  • Glaciation is a geographical term that explains the formation, movement, and recession of the glaciers and this process was much more evident in times when the world was covered with ice sheets.  Glaciers are nothing but in simple words huge chunks of ice which gets accumulated over a period of time, whose movement is governed by its own weight. Due to this ice layers are built which keep on growing slowly together forming a thick mass of ice.
  • Waterbody never stops moving and this tidal movement brings a lot of changes in the environment around- flora and fauna. However, global warming causing the melting of ice and glaciers has impacted heavily on this causing the extinction of certain species.  
  • Earlier when these environmental changes were not so rapid, marine life in terms of flora and fauna flourished underwater. There was no soil erosion, seawater contamination in terms of industrial waste being released and other contaminants causing loss of marine life.

A 0.10 M solution of Na2HPO4 could be made a buffer solution with all of the following EXCEPT ________.NaH2PO4K3PO4Na3PO4H3PO4
Kipish [7]

The answer is: H₃PO₄.

A phosphoric acid is three protic acid, which means that in water release tree protons.

Phosphoric acid ionizes in three steps in water.

First step: H₃PO₄(aq) ⇄ H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).

Second step: H₂PO₄⁻(aq)⇄ HPO₄²⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).

Third step: HPO₄²⁻(aq) ⇄ PO₄³⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).

Species that are present: H₃PO₄, H₂PO₄⁻, HPO₄²⁻, PO₄³⁻ and H⁺.

A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable.
