To find them you would have numbers of the elements in percentage or grams then you divide them by their molar mass to get their moles. From there you divide by the smallest number. Round it to two or one sig fig. If you have a number that is for ex. 2.5 you multiply it by 2 to make it whole as well the other whole numbers. Then to find the molecular formula the problem must give you another molar mass and using your empirical formula convert it to its molar mass then you divide them, larger number over smaller number. You should get a number round it to 1 sig fig. Now you use that number and multiply the subscripts on the empirical formula to get the molecular formula.

The pressure on 2.50 L of gas is changed from 4.5 atm to 2.2 atm. What is the new volume of gas?

swat32

Answer:

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Since we are finding the new volume

$V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} \\$

From the question we have

$V_2 = \frac{2.5 \times 4.5}{2.2} = \frac{11.25}{2.2} \\ = 5.1136666...$

We have the final answer as

Three children are playing in a pool in the back yard. One child is at the far left end of the pool and is splashing. A second c

torisob [31]

The answer is; D

When both kids splash at both ends of the pool, the waves formed from the different direction travel and meet in the middle of the pool (since they are traveling with the same speed). When the waves meet, they interact and form constructive waves. This means that when a crest meets a crest, the height doubles. This also occurs for the troughs. Therefore the sizes of the waves at the middle are twice the individual waves.
