Answer:

The simplest formula of this compound is XY2Z4

We would have 2.352 moles of Z in a sample that contains 0.588 moles X

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A compound contains 3 elements

X = 0.221 mol

Y = 0.442 mol

Z = 0.884 mol

Step 2: Calculate the mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

X = 0.221/0.221 = 1

Y = 0.442/0.221 = 2

Z = 0.884/0.221 = 4

The empirical formula is XY2Z4

This means for each 1 X atom we have 2 Y atoms and 4 Z atoms.

If we have 0.588 moles X this means we have 0.588*2 = 1.176 moles of Y

And 0.588 *4 = 1.176*2 = 2.352 moles of Z

The simplest formula of this compound is XY2Z4

We would have 2.352 moles of Z in a sample that contains 0.588 moles X

Answer:

XY₂Z₄

2.35 mol Z

Explanation:

A sample of the compound contains 0.221 mol X, 0.442 mol Y, and 0.884 mol Z. We can find the simplest formula (empirical formula) by <em>dividing all the numbers of moles by the smallest one</em>.

X: 0.221/0.221 = 1

Y: 0.442/0.221 = 2

Z: 0.884/0.221 = 4

The simplest formula is XY₂Z₄.

The molar ratio of X to Z is 1:4. The moles of Z in a sample that contained 0.588 moles of X is:

0.588 mol X × (4 mol Z/1 mol X) = 2.35 mol Z

Answer:

Relation between , molality and temperature is as follows.

                T =

It is also known as depression between freezing point where, i is the Van't Hoff factor.

Let us assume that there is 100% dissociation. Hence, the value of i for these given species will be as follows.

         i for  = 3

          i for glucose = 1

          i for NaCl = 2

Depression in freezing point will have a negative sign. Therefore, d

depression in freezing point for the given species is as follows.

       

                 =

       

                  =

     

                   =

Therefore, we can conclude that given species are arranged according to their freezing point depression with the least depression first as follows.

How many moles of Boron (B) are in 5.03 x 1024 B atoms?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Hey there!:

Number of moles =   ( number of atoms / 6.023*10²³ atoms )

given number of atoms = 5.03*10²⁴

Therefore:

Number of moles B = 5.03*10²⁴ / 6.023*10²³

Number of moles B = 8.35 moles

Hope that helps!

If an atom gains an electron, what overall charge will it have?
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The atom will have a negative charge.

Explanation:

Electrons are subatomic particles with a negative charge, protons are subatomic particles with a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. When a neutral atom's balance is disrupted by an extra electron, the atom  becomes negatively charged.

A poundal is the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 lbm at a rate of 1 ft/s2, and a slug is the mass of an object that wil
Darya [45]
Remember the formula as per the second Law of Newton: F = m*a

And also remember that the weight is the force with which the mass is attracted by the planet (or satellite in the case of the moon).

With that information you can answer the questions:

a) Weight = F = m*a

m = 175 slugs = 175 lbm

i) Earth

a = 32.17 ft/s^2

Weight on Earth = 175 lbm * 32.17 ft / s^2 = 5,629.75 poundal

ii) Moon

a = [1/6] 32.17 ft/s^2

Weight on the Moon = [1/6]*5,629.75 poundal = 938.29 poundal

b) Force = 355 poundal
m = 25.0 slug

a in m/s^2 = ?

First calculate the force in ft/s^2

F = m*a => a = F/m = 355 poundal / 25.0 slug = 14.2 ft/s^2

Conversion:

14.2 ft / s^2 * [ 0.3048 m/ft] = 4.32816 m/s^2

Answer: 4.33 m/s^2

Why was it important to establish the Clean Air Act?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

The Clean Air Act was enacted in 1973 and brought to action in 1990. The act was passed to supervise air emissions to ensure clean air and atmosphere for people. The act was passed in the wake of premature deaths of hundred of thousands people. The act works with NAAQS to ensure safe and clean air for the safety of public health.

<u>From the given options the correct one is C. The Clean Air Act supervises the activities which emits air and any activities that is found to pollute the air will be labelled as illegal</u>.

Therefore, option C is correct.
