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 mass of silver can be plated onto an object in 33. 5 minutes at 8. 70 a of current? ag (aq) e- → ag(s) 19. 6 g 9. 78 g 0. 3
grandymaker [24]

Mass of silver can be plated onto an object in 33. 5 minutes at 8. 70 a of current is 19.55 g

Given, I=8.70A, t=33.5min=33.5*60=2010 sec, m of Ag = 19600g M=107.87 g/mol

From  faradays law we can write q=I*t= 8.70*2010=17487 C.

moles of Ag =17487/ 19600=0.1812 moles

Ag deposited = 0.1812*107.87 = 19.55 g

<h3>Silver </h3>

Having the atomic number 47 and the Latin word argentum, which means "bright" or "white," silver is a chemical element. Its symbol is Ag. The highest electrical, thermal, and reflectivity of any metal are displayed by this transition metal, which is soft, white, and lustrous. The metal can be found in the Earth's crust in three different forms: as an alloy with other metals like gold and in minerals like argentite and chlorargyrite. It can also be found in its pure, free elemental form, also known as "native silver." During the refining of copper, gold, lead, and zinc, the majority of silver is created as a byproduct. As a valuable metal, silver has long been treasured.

What mass of silver can be plated onto an object in 33. 5 minutes at 8. 70 a of current? ag (aq) e- → ag(s) 19. 6 g 9. 78 g 0. 326 g 3. 07 g 0. 102 g

Which are factors scientists use to classify orders of soil?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Soils are a function of the five soil-forming factors: climate, organisms, relief, parent material, and time. Each of these factors range on a continuum, so the different soils of the world number in the thousands. Soil scientists recognize 12 major orders of soils.
