Empirical formula of the compound is the simplest ratio of components making up the compound.
In 100 g there’s 87.1 g of Ag and 12.9 g of S.
Let’s calculate for 100 g of the compound
Ag S
Mass 87.1 g 12.9 g
Moles. 87.1 /107.8 g/mol 12.9/32 g/mol
=0.8 mol =0.4mol
Divide by the least number of moles
0.8/0.4 =2 0.4/0.4=1
Ratio of Ag to S is 2:1
Therefore empirical formula is Ag2S

Nina [5.8K]
Answer is: <span>a hill over which a wagon is pushed.
</span>For all chemical reaction some energy is required and that energy is called activation energy (<span>energy that needs to be absorbed for a chemical reaction to start)<span>.
There are two types of reaction: endothermic reaction (chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases) and exothermic reaction (chemical reaction that releases more energy than it absorbs).
</span></span>R<span>eactions occur faster with a catalyst because they require less activation energy.</span>

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

moles H₂O = 10

Explanation:

The mass of Na₂CO₃⋅xH₂O is 3.837 g and the mass of Na₂CO₃ is 1.42g

Therefore the mass of xH₂O is 3.837 - 1.42 = 2.417 g

The molar mass of Na₂CO₃ is 106 g/mol and for H₂O is 18 g/mol

The moles of Na₂CO₃ and H₂O in the sample are:

Na₂CO₃ = 1.42 / 106 = 0.01340 moles

H₂O = 2.417 / 18 = 0.1343

Now using rule of three :

1 mole of Na₂CO₃ has x moles of H₂O

0.01340 moles of Na₂CO₃ has 0.1343 moles of H₂O

x = 1 * 0.1343 / 0.01340 = 10
