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.

I don't quite understand it
irina1246 [14]
So, you need to have same ammount of atoms on the left and on the right side of the equation. You need to count the ammount of attoms of every substance on the left, and make sure that on the right side the ammount is same. For example in the 1st one it’s 6Sn+2P4=2Sn3P4, so that you have 6atoms of Sn on the left and 6 atoms of Sn on the right, same with the P

Which element has the following electron configuration: <br> 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p5
Natasha2012 [34]
Try adding spaces next time! That's iodine. Check all of the numbers to make sure all of the orbitals are filled, then find the ones which aren't. In this one, only the 5p5 subshell isn't full. 5p5 is the fifth row on the right side, count across the nonmetals and metalloids until the fifth one (a halogen). That's iodine, and that's your answer!

What types of chemical<br> reactions can change a toxic<br> chemical into one that is less<br> toxic
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Very toxic materials are substances that may cause significant harm or even death to an individual if even very small amounts enter the body.There are a number of very toxic materials that may be used in workplaces. Some examples include carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, chlorine and sodium cyanide

Explanation:

here are generally four types of toxic entities; chemical, biological, physical and radiation: Chemical toxicants include inorganic substances such as, lead, mercury, hydrofluoric acid, and chlorine gas, and organic compounds such as methyl alcohol, most medications, and toxins.
