The  empirical formula  for a compound   is KClO3

     Explanation 
 
find  the  moles of each  element
moles  = % composition/molar  mass

molar  mass of  of  potassium =39g/mol ,chlorine = 35.5 g/mol, oxygen =16 g/mol

moles  of potassium  =  31.9 / 39 = 0.818  moles
moles of  chlorine    = 28.9/35.5 = 0.814 moles
moles of   oxygen  =  39.2/  16 =  2.45  moles


find the  mole ratio  by  dividing   with  the smallest  mole = 0.814  moles

potassium = 0.818/0.814  =1  
chlorine  =  0.814/0.814 = 1
oxygen =  2.45 /0.814 =3 


the empirical  formula   is therefore = KClO3

What kind of orbital is occupied by the lone pair electrons in caffeine molecule?
Nataly [62]
The middle nitrogen has two sigma bonds and one pi bond. You know that one p orbital is used in the double bond and two sp2 orbitals are involved in the sigma bond. This leaves one sp2 orbital for the lone pair to occupy.

You notice that you cannot read your book through a test tube of fluid held against the print, making it so blurred as to be unr
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

b. colloid

Explanation:

Colloids are solutions that are going to have a solute and a solvent, but the size of the particles are bigger than in a solution that is clear. that is the reason that it looks blurred because the particles are bigger.

In the other hand, these particles of the solute are big, but not so big and heavy as in a suspension, so they are not going to precipitate in the bottom.

The movement of the particles are called Brownian movement, and they are the responsible to avoid to settle down at the bottom of the recipient.

Compared to micellular Compound 1, Compound 2 is structurally more rigid as a result of what type of interaction?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

D. Intramolecular covalent bond

Explanation:

Compound D is structurally more rigid  as a result of intramolecular covalent bonding. The forces that hold together atoms within a compound are greater as compared to forces holding two molecules  together (intermolecular bonding). On the other hand  Hydrogen bonds are weaker as compared to covalent bonds. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between two atoms and Hydrogen bonds are formed between a highly electronegative  atom like oxygen, Flourine,Chlorine to hydrogen.
