To get the empirical formula of this compound, we take a basis of 100 grams which means each percentage is equivalent to 1 gram. Hence there is 32.39 grams sodium, 22. 53 grams sulfur and 45.07 grams oxygen. We convert each mass to their moles by dividing by their respective molar mass. Na: 1.408, S:0.704 and O:2.82. divide each with the lowest: Na: 2: S: 1 and O:4. Hence the formula is Na2SO4.

A neutral atom has 8 electrons and 8 neutrons. Which of the following correctly represents the atom? A) carbon-16 B) oxygen-16 C
bija089 [108]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Oxygen is the 8th element in the periodic table. This means that oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons. In order to get the number of neutrons you take the atomic weight in this case 15.9999~16 and you subtract it by the number of protons (16-8).

3. When the hydronium ion concentration of a solution is 1x10-4 M, What
rewona [7]

Answer:

pH = 4

Solution is acidic

Explanation:

Given data;

Hydronium ion concentration = 1 × 10⁻⁴ M

pH of solution = ?

Solution:

pH = -log [H₃O⁺]

pH = -log [ 1 × 10⁻⁴ ]

pH =  4

According to pH scale the pH 7 is neutral while the pH less than 7 is acidic and greater than 7 is basic. The given solution has pH 4 it means solution is acidic.

Rock and ice particles make up the ____ of the Jovian planets? Ring system, craters, volcanoes, or asteroids
lara31 [8.8K]
Jovian planets are what we call the "gas giants," so immediately we can eliminate craters or volcanos because they don't have a solid surface. asteroids in space doesn't belong to any specific planet, so the answer is ring systems.

Compare the potential energy of two atoms chemically bonded to their potential energy when separated.
ikadub [295]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The essence of chemical bonding is in order to attain minimum energy. The minimum energy state is the most stable state of a chemical system.

As the distance of separation between atoms decreases, the potential energy of the system decreases accordingly.

An optimum distance is reached when the two atoms attain the lowest potential energy. This is designated as the bond distance of the two atoms.

Hence two atoms have lower potential energy when bonded than when separated at large distance.
