Elemental analysis of the unknown gas from part a revealed that it is 30.45% n and 69.55% o. what is the molecular formula for t

Assuming we have 100 g of sample

30.45/MW of N 14g = 2.175

69.55/MW of O 16g = 4.34

4.34/2.185 = 2

for every 1 mole of N we have 2 moles of O

so the empirical formula would be NO2

without having the molecular weight of the entire molecule the molecular formula can not be determined with the information in your question

Answer:

The correct option is <em>A) The light moths will be captured by predators more easily than the dark moths, and the population of dark moths will rise.</em>

Explanation:

As we can see, the colour of the trees do not match with the light moths. Instead, the colour of the trees resembles the dark moths. This adaptation will work best for the dark moths to protect it from its predators. The light moths lack this adaptation and can easily be attacked  by the predators. Hence, the population of the dark moth will increase as they are better adapted to live in such an environment.

The lock-and-key mechanism refers to
miskamm [114]

Answer:

A). The complementary shapes of an enzyme and a substrate.

Explanation:

The Lock-and-key mechanism was proposed by Emil Fischer for the first time and characterized as the metaphor which helps in elucidating the specificity of the enzymatic reactions. In this metaphor, the lock is described as the enzyme while 'key' is characterized as the substrate which the enzyme acts upon. If the key is not appropriately sized, it will not fit into the active site i.e. the keyhole of the lock or enzyme and reaction will not take place. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

Which of the following BEST explains why the tectonic plates of Earth move?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The plates can be thought of like pieces of a cracked shell that rest on the hot, molten rock of Earth’s mantle and fit snugly against one another. The heat from radioactive processes within the planet’s interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other.

How many formula units make up 24.2 g of magnesium chloride (MgCl2)?<br><br> Help!!
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Approximately 1.53 \times 10^{23} formula units (0.254\; \rm mol).

Explanation:

Refer to a modern periodic table for the relative atomic mass of magnesium (\rm Mg) and chlorine (\rm Cl):

  • \rm Mg: 24.305.
  • \rm Cl: 35.45.

In other words, the mass of 1\; \rm mol of \rm Mg atoms would be (approximately) 24.305\; \rm g.

Likewise, the mass of 1\; \rm mol of \rm Cl atoms would be approximately 35.45\; \rm g.

One formula unit of the ionic compound \rm MgCl_{2} includes exactly as many atoms as there are in the given formula. The formula mass of a compound is the mass of 1\; \rm mol of the formula units of this compound.

The formula \rm MgCl_{2} includes one \rm Mg atom and two \rm Cl atoms.

Hence, every formula unit of \rm MgCl_{2} \! would include the same number of atoms: one \rm Mg\! atom and two \rm Cl\! atoms. There would be 1\; \rm mol of \rm Mg atoms and 2\; \rm mol of \rm Cl atoms in 1\; \rm mol\! of \rm MgCl_{2} formula units.

Thus, the mass of 1\; \rm mol\! of \rm MgCl_{2} formula units would be equal to the mass of 1\; \rm mol of \rm Mg atoms plus the mass of 2\; \rm mol of \rm Cl atoms. (The mass of 1\; \rm mol\!\! of each atom could be found from the relative atomic mass of each element.)

\begin{aligned}& M({\rm MgCl_{2}}) \\ =\; & 24.305\; {\rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} + 2\times {\rm 35.45 \; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\ =\; & 95.205\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}.

In other words, the formula mass of \rm MgCl_{2} is 95.205\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}.

Therefore, the number of formula units in m = 24.2\; \rm g of \rm MgCl_{2} would be:

\begin{aligned}n &= \frac{m({\rm MgCl_{2}})}{M({\rm MgCl_{2}})} \\ &= \frac{24.2\; \rm g}{95.205\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}} \\ & \approx 0.254\; \rm mol\end{aligned}.

Multiple n by Avogadro's Number N_{A} \approx 6.022 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1} to estimate the number of formula units in 0.254\; \rm mol:

\begin{aligned}N &= n \cdot N_{A} \\ &\approx 0.254\; \rm mol \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1} \\ &\approx 1.53\times 10^{23}\end{aligned}.
