The empirical formula of the compound is C. NiF₂.

Step 1. Calculate the moles of each element

The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles.

So, our job is to calculate the molar ratio of Ni to F.

Moles of Ni = 9.11 g Ni × (1 mol Ni /(58.69 g Ni) = 0.1552 mol Ni

Moles of F = 5.89 g F × (1 mol F/19.00 g F) = 0.3100 mol F

Step 2. Calculate the molar ratio of the elements

Divide each number by the smallest number of moles

Ni:F = 0.1552:0.3100 = 1:1.997 ≈ 1:2

Step 3: Write the empirical formula

EF = NiF₂

When NH3(g) reacts with N2O(g) to form N2(g) and H2O(g), 105 kcal of energy are evolved for each mole of NH3(g) that reacts. Wri

Answer : The balanced chemical equation is,

$2NH_3(g)+3N_2O(g)\rightarrow 4N_2(g)+3H_2O(g)+210kcal$

Explanation :

Balanced chemical equation : It is defined as the number of atoms of individual elements present on the reactant side must be equal to the number of atoms of individual elements present on product side.

The given unbalanced chemical reaction is,

$NH_3(g)+N_2O(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+H_2O(g)+105kcal$

This chemical reaction is an unbalanced reaction because in this reaction, the number of atoms of individual elements are not balanced.

In order to balanced the chemical reaction, the coefficient 2 is put before the $NH_3$ , the coefficient 3 is put before the $N_2O\text{ and }H_2O$ and the coefficient 4 is put before the $N_2$ .

The energy evolved in this reaction = $105Kcal\times 2=210Kcal$

Thus, the balanced chemical reaction will be,

$2NH_3(g)+3N_2O(g)\rightarrow 4N_2(g)+3H_2O(g)+210kcal$

What two categorical ways of thinking about matter are discussed in the passage?

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

There's no passage but I can say that matter are that ''thing'' which extend through all Universe, matter is everything. It can be seen or felt as liquid, gas or solid. This changes of its state depend on the amount of energy that is involved.

So, here is used categorical thinking because is a abstract concept that is hard to understand sometimes. It's abstract when we say that matter is all, not just what we see, but even what we don't see like ''Dark Matter'', which is the majority in the Universe.
