Answer:

ZnC4H10

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a compound refers to the formula that gives the simplest whole number ratio of each atoms of the elements in the compound.

The empirical formula is calculated thus:

The given percentages in the question represent the mass in grams of each element in the compound.

Zinc= 53%, C= 38.9%, H= 8.1% which represents 53g, 38.9g and 8.1g of each element respectively.

Molar Mass of Zn= 65.4 g/mol

Molar Mass of C= 12 g/mol

Molar Mass of H= 1 g/mol

Step 1: Divide the mass of each element by the molar mass given to convert to moles:

Zn= 53/65.4 = 0.81moles

C= 38.9/12 = 3.24moles

H= 8.1/1 = 8.1moles

Step 2: Divide each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated, which is 0.81moles:

Zn= 0.81/0.81 = 1

C= 3.24/0.81 = 4

H= 8.1/0.81= 10

This is the mole ratio represented in the subscript of each element in the empirical formula:

That is, Zn (1) C (4) H (10)

Empirical formula= ZnC4H10

Cations from smallest to largest
Li⁺ ,Na⁺, K⁺ (from Periodic Table, the bigger number of period, the bigger size, of atom, so the bigger size of cation)

1) LiF smaller  cation then KF

</span><span>The lattice energy increases as cations get smaller, as shown by LiF and KF.
</span><span>I think this one should be correct answer, because the compared substances have also the same anion, and we can compare cations in them.

2) The same cation Li , so wrong statement.

3)</span>The same cation Na , so wrong statement.

4) NaCl smaller cation then KF

Give the charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion most likely to be formed by the element. rb
devlian [24]

Actually Rb or Rubidium in zero state has the following electron configuration:

<span>1s22s2</span><span>2p6</span><span>3s2</span><span>3p63d10</span><span>4s2</span><span>4p65s1</span>

 

However we can see that the ion has a 1 positive charge, which means that it lacks 1 electron, therefore the answer from the choices is:

<span>d. rb+: 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6</span>

HELP !<br> 85g of NiCl2 dissolves in 350ml of H2O. What is the Molarity? Show your work
trapecia [35]

Answer:

1.874 M.

Explanation:

<em>Molarity is defined as the no. of moles of a solute per 1.0 L of the solution.</em>

<em />

M = (no. of moles of solute)/(V of the solution (L)).

<em>∴ M = (mass/molar mass)of NiCl₂/(V of the solution (L)).</em>

<em></em>

∴ M = (mass/molar mass)of NiCl₂/(V of the solution (L)) = (85.0 g / 129.59 g/mol)/(0.35 L) = 1.874 M.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer: D.

Explanation: A chemical reaction is said to be in a state of equilibrium when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the backward reaction, thus, there is no net change in the concentration of reactants and products.
