Molar mass:

iron = 55.8 g/mol

Sulfur = 32.0 g/mol

Number of moles

53.70 / 55.8 = 0.96 moles 

46.30 / 32.0 = 1.44 moles

Using the values determines the entire lower proportion in moles of the elements, just divide by the smaller one

Fe = 0.96 / 0.96

Fe = 1 mole

S = 1.4 / 0.96

S = 1.5  moles 

 multiply them by 2.

iron : 2 * 1 = 2

Sulfur : 1.5 * 2 = 3

<span> the empirical formula is Fe</span>₂<span>S</span>₃

hope this helps!

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

(b) IE₂ of Ga >  IE₂ of Ge

Explanation:

Electronic configuration of Ga is [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p¹

Electronic configuration of Ge is [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p²

After 1st ionisation , Ga  becomes [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s² and becomes stable . Its

2 nd ionisation requires higher amount of ionisation energy. In case of Ge , there are 2 electrons in outermost orbital so it becomes stable after ionisation of 2 electrons.

Describe the experimental basis for believing that the nucleus occupies a very small fraction of the volume of the atom.
svetlana [45]

Explanation:

Rutherford conducted an experiment in which he took a thin gold particle film on which he passes alpha- particles. He noticed that:

  • Most of the alpha particles get through the film and can be detected by the detector.
  • Around small portion of the alpha particle deflected at small angles.
  • A very very few alpha particle (approximately 1 out of 1 million alpha particles) just retraced their path which means come back from the center.

He concluded that:

<u>Most of the space of the atom is empty and in the center of the atom , there is solid mass which is the cause of the alpha particles to come back. He gave the term nucleus to this solid mass.</u>

Two scientists, Tara and Victor, work in the same scientific field of study. Victor asks Tara to review a research paper that he
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Tara does not get the same results when she conducts the experiment

Explanation:

<em>The most likely reason Tara suggested to Victor to perform the experiment again before publication would be because she did not get the same results when she conducted the experiment.</em>

A good scientific research or experiment should have an element of reproducibility. In order words, the claim made in published scientific research should be reproducible by any other scientist that decides to replicate the research. <u>Tara repeated Victor's experiment in order to check its reproducibility and when she could not reproduce the results, she had to tell Victor to conduct the experiment again before deciding to publish it.</u>
