Answer:
C. the relative number of atoms of each element, using the lowest whole ratio.
Explanation:
The empirical formula is how we simplify the whole formula to simplify it to its smallest indivisible parts.
It is definitely not the actual number of atoms. If you see an empirical formula, don't think that it's the full thing.
It is also not a representation of a compound to show its atoms' arrangement: this would be a Lewis dot structure, or a ball and stick model, or something similar. We don't use the empirical formula for this purpose.
Answer:
Ammonia gas reacts with oxygen gas.
Nitric oxide gas and liquid water are produced.
Platinum is used as a catalyst.
The equation is unbalanced because the number of hydrogen atoms is not the same on both sides of the equation.
Explanation:
Answer:
25.35%
Explanation:
Again let me restate the the equation of the reaction;
H2O (ℓ) + 2 MnO4 - (aq) + 3 CN- (aq) → 2 MnO2 (s) + 3 CNO- (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)
Amount of potassium permanganate reacted = 10.2/1000 * 0.08035 = 8.1957 * 10^-4 moles
If 2 moles of MnO4 - reacts with 3 moles of CN-
8.1957 * 10^-4 moles of MnO4 - reacts with 8.1957 * 10^-4 * 3/2
= 1.229 * 10^-3 moles of CN-
Mass of CN- reacted = 1.229 * 10^-3 moles of CN- * 26.02 g/mol
= 0.03 g
Hence, percentage of the cyanide = 0.03 g/0.1183 g * 100
= 25.35%
Answer:
In water hydrogen bonding formed between partially negative oxygen and partially positive hydrogen atoms.
Explanation:
Hydrogen bond is a partially electrostatic attraction between hydrogen (H), which is bonded to a more electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O) or fluorine (F), and another adjacent atom bearing a lone pair of electrons.
In water molecule hydrogen and oxygen have difference in electronegativity, due to which dipoles are form. One is partial positive on hydrogen atom and other is partial negative on oxygen atom. The electrostatic attraction occur between two oppositely charged poles which is known as hydrogen bonding.
