Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago
8 0
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

Platinum crystallizes in a face-centered cubic cell. the density of platinum is 21.4 g/cm3. calculate the radius of the platinum
IgorLugansk [536]
1 mole of platinum has a mass of 195 g therefore 1 atom will have a mass of 195 g /(6.02 ×10^23) = 3.239 × 10^-22 g
Density is given by dividing mass by volume, thus to get volume, mass is divided by density. 
The volume = (3.239 × 10^-22)/21.4 
                    = 1.514 × 10^-23 cm³
But volume of a sphere is given by 4/3πr³
Therefore, r³ = 3.6129 × 10^-24 
                 r   = ∛(3.6129 × 10^-24)
                      = 1.534 × 10^ -8 cm
Therefore, the radius of the platinum atom is 1.534 × 10^-8 cm

How does the appearance of<br> the protist differ from that of the onion sample?
lana [24]

The appearance of the protist differ from that of the onion sample due to the presence of motile structures.

<h3>What is a Protist?</h3>

This is an eukaryote which could be unicellular or multicellular and examples include protozoa etc.

The major difference between a protist and onion sample is that protists have motile structures such as flagella, cilia etc while plant cells such as onions don't have.

Balance this equation. If a coefficient of "1" is required, choose "blank" for that box.
Kitty [74]

Answer: 2 C2H4 + 6 O2 => 4 CO2 + 4 H2O

Explanation:The coefficient are as follows: 2: 6: 4: 4

Each atom on the reactant and product side are equal.

Reactant Product

C 2x2 = 4 4x1 = 4

H 2x4 = 8 4x2 = 8

O 6x2 = 12 (4x2) + 4 = 12
