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.

GEORGEOCTOBER 18, 2012Floor Wax is Harmful to the Environment

Floor wax is applied on floor surfaces to make it scuff-resistant, water-resistant, slip resistant and glossy. It provides a thin, protective and hard surface layer when applied to flooring. Conventional floor wax has five main ingredients and each one of them has detrimental effects on the environment, not to mention the chemical waste created by the continuous upkeep required. The cumulative effects of these ingredients on the environmental render their harmful actions more potent and difficult to reverse.

Bacteria cells are different from plant and animal cells because they don't have what???!

<span>
Plants and animals are multi-cellular organisms composed of eukaryotic cells, while bacteria are single-cell prokaryotic organisms. Each eukaryotic cell of a plant or animal includes a central nucleus containing DNA and membrane-bound organelles, such as endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. A bacterial cell has no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.

hope it helps! :)
