Answer:

Empirical formula (which matches the molecular formula) is = PbC₈H₂₀

Explanation:

Our sample: 60 g of tetraethyl lead

In order to determine the compound empirical formula we need the centesimal composition:

(Mass of element / Total mass) . 100 =

(38.43 g lead / 60g ) . 100 = 64.05%

(17.83 g C / 60g) . 100 = 29.72%

(3.74 g H / 60g) . 100 = 6.23 %

These % are the mass of the elements in 100 g of compound. Let's find out the moles of them:

64.05 g / 207.2 g/mol = 0.309 moles

29.72 g / 12 g/mol = 2.48 moles

6.23 g/ 1 g/mol = 6.23 moles

Next, we divide the moles, by the lowest value of them (0.309)

0.309 / 0.309 = 1 mol Pb

2.48 / 0.309 = 8 mol C

6.23 / 0.309 = 20 mol H

There, we have our formula PbC₈H₂₀

Which of the following could result from the fission of carbon?
jeka57 [31]
In nuclear reactions, there are can be two kinds: nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. From the word itself, fusion is combination while fission is breaking. Nuclear reactions are different from chemical reactions. Whereas chemical reactions from compounds by exchanging elements, nuclear reactions add or eliminate subparticles, like protons, neutrons and electrons. 

So, when carbon is split up, their protons should add up to 6, which is its atomic number. From the choices, the only obvious answer is two lithium atoms. To investigate further, lithium has an atomic number of 3. So, two lithium atoms would equal to 6.

Therefore, the answer is <span>two lithium atoms.</span>

The doctor ordered 750ml of a 15 percent solution. the stock solution is 50 percent. how much stock solution and diluent are nee
garik1379 [7]
The doctor required a 15% 750mL solution. To lower the concentration of the solution, you have to add more diluting liquid. 

750mL * 0.15 = 112.5mL. This 112.5mL signifies the pure chemical or compound in the solution. This 112.5mL can be taken from the stock solution.

112.5 * 2 = 250mL of stock solution would be needed and 500 mL of the diluting agent should be added. Adding the two together would result to a 750mL solution of 15% concentration.

The crystal structure of an ionic compound depends on the
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The ion's sizes and their radius ratio.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds take the form of three dimentional arrays by alternating anions and cations in order to minimize the potential energy of the system by maximizing the attractive force between opposite charges.

<em>The resultant geometric structures are known as crystal lattices and their arrangements depend on the ion's sizes and, since they are bound though electrostatic attraction, their radius ratio.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
