Answer:
This snip might help...it depends :)
Explanation:
and
.
Assuming complete decomposition of both samples,
First compound:
;
of the first compound would contain
Oxygen and mercury atoms seemingly exist in the first compound at a
ratio; thus the empirical formula for this compound would be
where the subscript "1" is omitted.
Similarly, for the second compound
;
of the first compound would contain
and therefore the empirical formula
.
Answer:
The new volume of the gas is 32L
Explanation:
P1 = 16atm
V1 = 4L
P2 = atm
V2 = ?
According to Boyle's law, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its volume provided the temperature remains constant.
P1 * V1 = P2 * V2
V2 = (P1 * V1) / P2
V2 = (16 * 4) / 2
V2 = 64 / 2
V2 = 32L
The new volume of the gas is 32L
